“Our ceremony was held in Point Chevalier at the in-laws house; we wanted a relaxed, chilled wedding to match our personalities. They have such a lovely home and garden, I was ecstatic when they offered us to have our wedding there.”

Stevie says "A few weeks after our wedding, Jarred’s mum passed away unexpectedly. We are so happy she was there to witness us get married and celebrate along with her family. We got some really great photos of her which we will cherish for the rest of our lives."
