It’s that time of the year again when we look back on all that has transpired over 12 months. I must say, it really is an exercise I look forward to every year precisely because it reminds me of what a truly inspiring community we have.

So once again, we’ve put together 16 stunning wedding and engagements from the year that was. Let’s reminisce together and remember what an amazing 2019 it has been!
