Fun + Colorful Australian Wedding: Linda + Dean
Fun + Colorful Australian Wedding: Linda + Dean

Happy Monday, friends! We can't think of a better way to start the week than with Linda + Dean's fun and colorful Australian wedding! These guys knew from the start that they wanted their day to be laid-back, full of life, and reflective of their (self-declared) quirky personalities. With a big focus on unique, handmade elements - our fave being Linda's dress which was produced based off a design she dreamt up - they were able to craft a celebration that they'll always be able to look back on with a big, huge smile.
Big thanks to Lara Hotz for sharing these creative + beautiful snapshots of L + D's day with us! And heads up US couples! Lara will be in America all of June + July of 2015, documenting a limited number of weddings. If you are looking for a photographer around that time, she can be contacted through her website! She would love to capture some American weddings while traveling around. :)
Bravo on that dress, Linda + Jason Grech!
Pretty, pretty 'maids in summer-y hues!
Such fun portraits!
Seriously, could these two be any cuter together? Since Dean shared their super sweet proposal story with us, we couldn't resist sharing it with you guys!
We met at a hair stylist awards night in Melbourne Docklands. I was the quirky charming Englishmen, obviously there for the free booze. Linda, was the sweet I'm not interested type clearly there to support her work friend on what she was unaware was going to be the first night of the rest of her life. Especially since my first sentence to Linda was 'I'm going to marry you'. The ironic thing is, I wasn't kidding. Our relationship progressed with real meaning when Linda moved to London, England with me where I finished my Architectural Diploma and Linda managed a quirky little salon in East London. This was an amazingly fun time in our relationship full of travel, random adventure, life experiences and lots and lots of laughter. The date had finally come 2nd June 2012, we were handed the keys to our first ever house. That night Linda was working late, so I rushed back to our newly purchased run down and completely empty home where I created a candlelight pathway and scattered rose petals everywhere. Later that night Linda came home and there I was on one knee surrounded by 1000's of rose petals at the end of the candlelight path holding her 1950s cocktail diamond ring. She said YES..!
