Hi👋🏼
I took this shot after Greg & Hollys ceremony yesterday. It started out as a simple moment capturing an internal feeling of happiness after I created and delivered a beautiful ceremony for H+G. That post-ceremony elation really is a special feeling.

To be very honest though, behind that smile has been a woman barely coping with her workload and commitments.
I took on a new full-time job as a breakfast radio announcer on Triple M Cairns in March & I’m doing my best to deliver the 56 weddings I have committed for 2022 + my commentary/MC duties. I’m happy but I’m incredibly overwhelmed and doing what I can to get through to the end.

If you are waiting on a reply from me, I’m sorry.

💥Here’s a ‘lil story about 2 worlds colliding.

Years back, Kylie from Eventcore recommended my Celebrant services to Darwin based explorers, Britt & Jake.
When I first saw their email address I sensed something VERY familiar about this couple and within 15mins into our meeting we realized that we’d been following each other’s 4WD travel accounts since 2016.

Ours 👉🏼Winch and Unwind👉🏼 theirs BJ Cruisin.
During our separate travels seeking adventure around Australia our tracks never crossed, but as soon we made this connection, Britt & Jake locked in my services to marry them in Port Douglas.

On Saturday 30th April ✌🏼 hearts collided and become Mr & Mrs Hart 🤍

What a Couple!
What a Moment!
What perfect Syncronicity ✨

📍Current Restrictions on QLD Wedding Ceremonies
*Information taken from website below. Current as of 12/01/22

If all attendees at an indoor or an outdoor wedding are vaccinated, no density limits will apply.

If anyone is unvaccinated, including the wedding party and officials, only a maximum of 20 people can attend.

You will need to show proof of vaccination or a medical exemption to attend a wedding.

Those under 16 years don’t need to give contact information, proof of vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication.

--------------------------------------
Personal Update:
I want to make it clear to my couples that although I will abide by the current rules, I will not taken responsibility for checking your Guests Vax status at the ceremony. I personally don't believe this falls into my role.

Please make sure you understand the situation that pertains to your wedding. If you have unvaccinated guests attending, make sure you discuss it with your vendor team. Although I don't have an issue with it, some vendors may.

Lastly, don't leave the awkward conversations with your guests and vendors to the last minute. The earlier you bring it up, the easier it will be to move forwardly effectively.

Thank you,
Tammy

Helloooooo 2022 👋

Today was Day ✌️back in the (home) office and I must admit that I am absolutely loving being back at work.

I hope you also feel positive about the year to come.

Helloooo👋🏼
A belated Merry Christmas to you all. I hope your festive season has been a joyful one.

I’ve been enjoying my holidays soaking up quality family time and a break from social media & emails. We’ve laughed constantly, indulged in plenty of good food & drinks and I’m excited to ‘Summer clean’ my house. Weird I know, but I love having more than 2 days off in a row to get stuff done 😆

➖UPDATE ➖
• I’m back in the office on the 10th January.
• 2023 Bookings Open on the 17th January.
• All emails and enquiries will be responded to from the 12th.

Enjoy the final days of 2021 everyone xx

↞ Creating Moments ↠
These are my favourite ceremony Moments captured by of Britt & Adam’s June wedding.

Look at us all constantly smiling and laughing. That’s exactly what it was like + a lot of happy tears too.
Group Vows, Furry Ring Bearers, a Flower Man, significant Inclusions & memorable Family moments!

Rona may have affected their original 2020 date, but these two didn’t let that B*£ch ruin this day ⚡️It was absolutely epic!

2021 WHERE have you gone??

Oh my goodness friends, is anyone else baffled by the fact it’s the 16th Dec already?? 🤯

I usually wrap up my Dec with Admin prep & forward planning meetings but this year I have 2 final Elopements locked in which are keeping me busy.

I’m going to be honest with you all, I’m really ready for a break away from my computer…

Before that break starts on the 23rd Dec I will be sharing plenty of special memories from the elopements and big celebratory weddings that I haven’t shared from my 2021 season. I’m ready to relive lots of epic moments with special couples I've married.

What a year it’s been! 2022 we’re coming in HOT ⚡️

Happy 47th Anniversary to my parents, Chris and Pam 🥂

FORTY SEVEN years, WOW👏🏼
I bloody love these two! They have been exceptional parents, friends and role models in so many ways. Both have qualities that impress the hell outta me. I’m so proud to be their daughter.

Last Friday night the four of us celebrated the 47yrs at our favourite Cairns restaurant, Tamarind. It was flawless (as usual). Tasty food, exceptional service and fabulous conversation 🍾🥂

Here's cheers to celebrating many more years of their marriage!

This is Ash and Ryan 💛

They had originally planned a big wedding in South East QLD, but the dredded pandemic ruined that idea so they said, "Screw it! Let's save cash, create an epic holiday experience for our close family and ELOPE on Fitzroy Island in Tropical North Queensland."

They chose 6 of their closest VIPs, including their young daughter and absolutely did, 'Their Day, Their Way!'

Captured at 'White Rock' on FitzroyIsland Resort-Queensland by the incredibly talented Steph from Peppermint Lane Photo + Film 🌿

I can't wait to share more of this beautiful little Elopement on Fitzroy Island Resort, Queensland with you! I had so much fun exploring the Island with these guys 💖 🏝 ☀️

Loved working with the beautiful Tammy from Creating Moments with Tammy Barker - Marriage Celebrant 💍

WOW 💥
I love how the unique Ring designs have become over the years.
Who says you need a certain Cut and Carat?!

Capucinne always creating stunning designs 🙌

Rita + Mark - Port Douglas Wedding

After the virus ruined their original 2020 wedding plans, they locked in 10|10|2021 as their final date (there was NO chance they'd be postponing any longer) downsized their guest list and celebrated life as Husband and Wife at the Sugar Wharf.

Working with Benn, Blue Sky Photography is always such an enjoyable, easy and collaborative experience. He is one of the most experienced wedding photographers in our local industry. The kind of man that 'gets the job done' while making it seemless and fun for both the couple, AND us Celebrants.

I love this collection of the shots from Rita and Mark's wedding day. Their personalities have been captured perfectly.

✭ L A L O L I ✭

I’m very honest about the fact that is my number ONE favourite WEDDING VENUE in Tropical North QLD!

The stunning private property has multiple location choices for both the ceremony + reception, you can ‘style it up’ or use its natural charm, and it’s an absolute vendor dream to work at. Best of all, owners Gary & Jeneve are absolute Legends and SO good at what they do!

These shots of Matt + Kitey’s wedding highlight Laloli and the talented Team of Vendors that contributed to this spectacular celebration.

♡ I love being a Cairns local!
I was born at the ‘Calvary’ private hospital, attended school in Cairns and although I took off to explore the world for 14+ years, I found my way back to our beautiful city.

I also really value officiating the marriages of other locals!
Like these two exceptional humans 👆🏼🤍 who have built impressive businesses of their own in our city. DF.GYM + Thomas Baldwin♥︎

We connected after Patrick asked his Facebook friends to recommend a Celebrant that would fulfill his & Morganne’s specific vibe. Thankfully lots of people recommended me⚡️

On Saturday 25th September we created magic during their intimate wedding ceremony✨
It was perfectly them and I was so proud to lock them in as husband and wife.

This pretty shot was captured by Glenn, Threadless Films on my iPhone. I absolutely love the natural lighting and unfiltered quality. To me it speaks volumes about the happiness, joy and glow that we all felt on that special afternoon.

⚡️This is Donny!

It was so fun locking him in as a husband to his beautiful Georgia. Throughout our planning process he was always so interested, super funny and geez, he wrote the best Vows!

Donny has the type of personality that strangers gravitate to. He’s very charismatic. A top bloke 👌🏼

Honestly, I hitch some of the coolest, most hardworking, spunkiest men in Cairns.
Alongside their gorgeous women, these guys are focused, determined and have massive hearts ♥︎

I’m always grateful for the couples I attract to book my services. Good, solid humans that value quality connection.
