I am stoked to be able to share some amazing photos from my wedding in Byron Bay in Dec 2011. We had had a week of torrential rain leading up to it and I had come to terms with the fact that my heels may be traded in for gumboots….so I was over the moon when somehow it didnt rain on our day.

Our ceremony was on Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay and guest only had to stumble off the sand to the reception which was at the Byron Beach Cafe. The venue was amazing and was perfect for the relaxed vibe we were after! We found lots of vintage bits and pieces at Heaths Old Wares in Bangalow to help set the scene and our amazing photos are by You Cant Be Serious.

I surprised Scotty on the day with a wedding gift, a new Tom Wegener longboard. Im in love with the tradition behind these boards and the passion and time that goes into making a paulownia timber board. When I picked the board up from Tom, he had told me how much of an honor it was to make this as a wedding gift and that over the years this board would grow with us. It will become a family board, the board scotty and I will teach our kids to surf on and the board we will grow old riding!

Good times ahead….Enjoy!

The Garden Furniture project came about through an interest in making sculpture that uses both permanent and ephemeral materials, altering a static piece of furniture by covering it in living, growing grass, the work therefore changed over time, altering itself, a process that became beyond my control.
