Why did you pick your venue, and what makes it special to you?
We chose Houchins as we love the countryside and felt out of all the venues we viewed this one ticked the most boxes for us. It's a real honour to have been chosen to capture your special day - thank you! We would love to know why you chose us - what is it about our work that you like?
We loved how easy we felt when we met you. We are a little camera shy and you made us feel very comfortable and to know you capture not posed moments but more relaxed ones was a winner for us.What is important in life to you?
Our children and our family home making sure everyone is happy and well.What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
Crazy. We are full on with the kids. We love to spend as much quality time as we can as a family on days out.How did you meet each other?
At work. How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
We got engaged in oz at Adelaide zoo in front of the pandas (chanel’s favourite animal)Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
We both love the outdoors and country life but we also have the same outlook on life and wanted the same things. How do you think your partner makes you better?
We are opposites when it comes to our personalities. So sometimes that just works. Fred is very chilled and laid back and chanel is the come on let’s get up and go kind of person so we have the happy medium when it comes to life and getting life done. What part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
We feel like this is the final stage for us as we already have two beautiful children and this is the finishing piece to our puzzle. Marriage can’t be as hard as raising young children haha.What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
We have always wanted to go to a safari in South Africa and would love to do that one day when the children are a little older or go and trek the rainforests.What makes your partner unique?
Everything. Everyone is unique in their own little way. You just know when you have found that.If you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
Chanel- Loving, caring, tidy, bossy, organised Fred- tall, smart, stubborn, caring ,hardworking.Tell us about your wedding plans so far - anything you would like to mention (including fears, what excites you, etc.)?
Making sure everyone is happy and enjoying themselves makes me anxious (chanel) as I am a bit of a perfectionist and always want the best. Fred on the other hand is chilled and pretty laid back when it comes to planning (he lets chanel just do what she wants so she’s happy) What sort of music do you like, and who do you listen to on a regular basis?
We like a whole range of music . We don’t have any preferences really. In terms of style, look and feel, how would you summarise your wedding day?
Boho, woodland, chic Finally... why are you marrying each other?!? :-)
Because it’s the final piece to our family unit. Also chanel wants the same surname haha
