If you needed proof that a wedding can be beautiful without being over the top, Josh and Amy are it! Their intimate Kings Park ceremony and backyard reception this past autumn was understated elegance with relaxed boho/rustic vibes. Ideal nuptials for this nature-loving couple who had originally planned to elope.

Mary Parker, the talent behind River and Fern took a ton of gorgeous photos and gained some new BFF’s in Josh and Amy. “From our first meeting we knew Mary was the photographer for us,” Amy tells us. “Not only was her style exactly what we wanted, we also felt like we instantly made a new friend whose favourite things matched all of ours. Mary went so far above and beyond our expectations and captured our day with a vision we couldn’t have imagined.”

Decorations were kept to a minimum at the ceremony, letting the massive Moreton Bay fig trees do the talking but these darling’s went DIY crazy for the reception, creating a lush oasis in the backyard of Josh’s family home. An aunty crafted the bouquets, Amy’s sister baked the cake and everybody chipped in with the styling. A true family affair!
