There’s nothing more idyllic than a relaxed wedding for a couple that just want to have a bloody good time! John Benavente captured the fun of Katherine and Jamie’s wedding day which had guests in their dancing shoes until 4.30am.

After meeting in a local pub in Merimbula when Kat was visiting home, their relationship was already far from the ordinary – signing up for long distance from the get go. After their bond for good food, good wine and a darn good time proved to be irreplaceable, the couple relocated to Sydney and planned their nuptials.

And boy did they plan well, hosting a whopping 170 people on a property that is home to historic Merribee House. The ceremony was held in the picturesque rose garden with a fun-loving celebrant, Todd Mayhew and close family and friend who sung Kat down the aisle.

After the ceremony, guests moseyed on to the big barn at Merribee for a delicious shared table feast by Rabbit and Co and a few too many tipples. Styling was fun and simple, decked with vibrant florals by Mary Failie-Cuinghame, great music and a rather large dance floor.
