For the invitation into your community.

It is a wonderful privilege to see how each community has their own culture. The way you dance, the way you feast, the way you speak, the way you love. We have learned so much about healthy, connected, life-giving relationships just from being in your presence, and soaking it in.

For all the jokes and silly moments we’ve shared.

If you’ve had us at your wedding, enough said. Christian once electrocuted himself trying to jump a fence for an epic photo. We haven’t left a wedding yet without a good belly laugh!

For trusting us, even when asked you to do something that seemed crazy.

Rivers we asked you to jump, mountains we asked you to climb, weird prompts that I’m sure you thought “how could this possibly look good”… we so appreciate that you went along with us and trusted us, especially when it meant your dress got dirty.

For allowing us to celebrate with you; dance together, toast together, feast together.

Being treated as though we were just one of your guests really is one of the kindest gifts.

For inviting us into your relationship with your partner.

We feel so honoured that for a few hours we get a glimpse into what makes you two, you. It is this realness and courage that allows us capture such pure and honest images.

For writing reviews, telling your friends and always encouraging us.

This is what has made Whites & Woods.

For the friendship we’ve built.

Our favourite comment after a wedding is, “we feel like we’re friends now”. It makes us laugh, because we are! The feeling is completely mutual. We’ve loved spending all these days together; planning, organising, celebrating… and its always a little heartbreaking when it’s over! We’ve loved every minute of it!
