"A family that rides together, have a bike each"
TBT: What is your fave ceremony custom/tradition?
MPS: My favourite part of the ceremony is when the Bride starts to walk down the aisle and the Groom sees her for the first time, he is just breathless and in awe of his beautiful bride, its a really heartwarming moment for me.
TBT:Which is your fave ceremony location on the Sunshine Coast?
MPS: There are many magical locations on the Sunshine Coast and in the Hinterland to get married. I don't really have a favourite but I do really love an outdoor ceremony.

TBT:What piece of advice do you give to all your couples?
MPS: Don't run with scissors? … No that's not it, although it is good advice. I don't have a 'standard' piece of advice. However, to all Brides and Grooms; Relax and enjoy the day. There is no right or wrong way to get married, so when it's your day, do it your way!
