Hello! If you're here, it means you're looking for someone to trust with one of the most important moments of your life. I'd love for that person to be me.

I live in Adelaide with my husband — whom I met on a dancefloor at 18 and have loved ever since — and our daughter, who is, without question, the best thing we’ve ever made. I spend my days writing love stories and officiating the moments they become real, and there is truly nothing I'd rather do.

My first year as a celebrant actually began in Italy, which either says something about my commitment to research… or my commitment to a life well lived. Probably both! I am a glutton for beautiful places and what 12 months abroad gave me, beyond the obvious, was a front row seat to love at its most ordinary and its most honest.

A decade as a brand copywriter gave me the practice of finding the right words for someone else's story, and I bring that same care to every ceremony. I'm a writer as much as I am a romantic, and if you asked me to describe my style in three words I’d give you five: modern, heartfelt, authentic, intimate and joyous.

Every couple I meet arrives with a story I haven't heard before, and that’s the part that never gets old. I'll ask questions, I'll listen carefully, and I'll write something that holds the two of you exactly as you are, and gives the people in that room a window into what makes your love yours.

I hope we get the chance to meet.
