Why does the groom have a chainsaw?

Hayley and Tim, a dream couple to work with, invited me to capture their big day. Little did their guests know, they were in for a delightful surprise! What everyone thought was an engagement party turned out to be a full-fledged wedding!

The ceremony, held on their beautiful Hunter Valley property, was a beautiful and heartfelt moment. The reveal of the actual wedding was a joyous shock for the guests, adding a unique twist to the celebration.

Hayley and Tim were incredibly accommodating, allowing me to capture their love story in various locations. From their home to the charming Main Street and finally, to a breathtaking sunset overlooking the valley, we got some stunning shots.

The reception was a blast! But the highlight (or almost-highlight) came when Tim, to everyone's (including mine!) surprise, pulled out a chainsaw to cut the cake. Luckily, Hayley, with some good-natured persuasion, was able to convince him to use a more traditional cake-cutting tool.

The reception was filled with laughter, dancing, and party games. Despite the initial shock of the surprise wedding,everyone embraced the joy of the occasion.

A huge thank you to Hayley and Tim for inviting me to capture their unique and unforgettable wedding day! Their love story, filled with surprises and laughter, was a true joy to document.
