Danae & Saad's Daylesford wedding

Danae & Saad's stylish Lakehouse Daylesford wedding was not only fun and gorgeous but it was also such a wonderful occasion filled with happiness and love.

You will see from these amazing collection of photos captured by Adrian Tuazon  just how much fun and joy this wedding brought to the people they love.

Danae & Saad initially met through Danae’s brother Alex at the medical school “dag night”. They were both dressed in their worse clothing combination in the true spirit of the event. Despite her questionable clothing, Saad remembers this stunning blonde girl with the most amazing smile but he was well aware that she may have been out of bounds as she was his friend’s sister.  Thankfully and without any hesitation they gained approval from Alex.

Saad surprised Danae by proposing during a trip to Ravello – one of those most romantic spots along the cliffside of the Amalfi Coast in Italy. After spending the morning exploring, they returned to their hotel and Danae was so busy being distracted by the stunning views that she didn’t notice Saad pacing on the balcony. When she joined him on the balcony, it suddenly occurred to her that there might be a reason for the incredibly special hotel.   After sharing some special words, that he cannot even remember, Saad dropped down onto one knee and asked Danae to Marry him.   Of course the answer was always going to be yes

I felt very honoured to be be a part of this amazing day.  Thank you to Adrian Tuazon for capturing the joy and the emotion.

Thank you Danae & Saad for sharing your day and for this lovely review on Easyweddings 
"We couldn't have been happier with Fiona as our celebrant; she was just brilliant. Not only did she conduct a beautiful ceremony, but she made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. She is generous with her time, passionate about her work and on the day we had so many comments about how wonderful the ceremony was, which speaks for itself!"
