Highlight of the current year, clearly, was being placed as a top finalist by the Bridal Industry awards. I would like to say another very big and very sincere thank you to all my lovely brides for nominating me.

A nice surprise is seeing the increasing number of publications around Australia that have carried examples of my work. In no particular order, the following come to mind – and where better for a quiet brag than my blog?

Good Weekend, (inserted The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age and read by over 1.7 million Australians); Maleny’s own The Range News; The Sunshine Coast Daily; Sunday Mail; The Hinterland Times and the Hinterland Tourism Guide (both cover shots); Salt Magazine, Coast Magazine and a few others.

And look out for Earth, Dreams and Magic due for publication early next year!

2010 is looming and already many weddings are filling up the calendar, including one I’m especially excited about that is being held in a former palace in Europe! And naturally, with both feet firmly on the ground, I’m also very much looking forward to weddings closer to home at Maleny Manor, House of Laurels and the Little White Wedding Chapel, to mention just three of the Sunshine Coast hinterland’s top wedding venues.

Signing off now for the Christmas break and wishing all my wonderful clients, brides and grooms a peaceful and happy festive season and a prosperous NewYear.
