Mitch + Emma by Light & Type

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love… We are mum & dad to our two children, Peyton (6) & Taj (3). We love them so much and just really enjoy spending time with them and making memories.

How/where/when did you meet – and what were your first impressions? We first met at my deb. I went to an all-girls school, so we could pick anyone to do our deb with. Mitch did the deb with one of my school girlfriends, and that is when we first met. First impressions, we made each other laugh and smile.

When did you first realise that this was someone you’d like to spend the rest of your life with? On our first date at the drive-ins. I didn’t want to go home; we were having the best date.

Was there a proposal? Tell us a little about it… At home with our children. I was changing our sons nappy and our daughter ran into the room and said, quick mummy dad needs you! I walked to the front door and he was down on one knee. He told my dad first, which was something that was important to me and my parents. Then I said yes!

JENNA + JOEL by Light & Type

What was one element you were happy to splurge on? Hehe, lots of things, food, venue, music, everything. It was my dream to get married, so I didn’t want to look back and think ohh, I wish I did that… which I haven’t. Our wedding was perfect in every way.

Did anything happen on your wedding day that you laugh about in hindsight (even if it was stressful at the time)? Hahaha, we sent our vows to our celebrant the morning of the wedding – both of us!! Poor Leah!

Tell us about your main outfits, what was unique, is there a story? Not really, i just knew when i tried on my dress, it was it! I had done lots of shopping before this dress too!
