130 wedding guests

Bobby & Jen met in late 2017 through a mutual friend and have been inseparable ever since! Jen had no idea Bobby was going to propose, "Bobby cannot keep a secret to save himself, so it was a suprise." Jen shares.

the proposal...

In 2019 we went travelling around Australia for 2 years we stopped to work in Broome WA for a few months, we went and travelled the Dampier Peninsular for a week with friends who we had met while travelling. Bobby proposed while we were taking some sunset photos with friends overlooking the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm. He proposed with a Kimberley Pearl engagement ring that he had purchased while we were in Broome.

venue winning factor

A close family friend (Shane Webcke) offered it to us, It also had a lot of meaning to us, the Ellangowan Woolshed is 99 years old and had recently been relocated to the property. My dad (Jen's dad) had been restoring the Woolshed over the past couple of years as they have had 1 or 2 weddings there already. My grandfather who was a shearer also still holds the record for most sheep sheared in one day at this Woolshed.

most important thing you wanted to have as part of your wedding theme

We wanted to keep the style of the shearing shed as the feature, so we kept it simple and only added some fairy lighting, candles and white features throughout, we also wanted guests to embrace the country vibes, so we put on a Camping event for three days with the Recovery party the following day. This way we got to spend more time with Friends and family.

most fave moment...

The ceremony, all though we had to rush it and go early due to rain and also finish early as it started to rain more as we went to sign the papers. It was just a moment between Bobby and I that I will never forget especially as we got to enjoy it with our little girl (Charlie)

dress/suit shopping experience

Very easy, a close friend of mine owns Sphere Bridal Gallery, I tried on a few dresses that Sarah pulled out that she thought I would love and after a few dresses I fell in love with the Munroe Dress by Kyha Studio's.

what does marriage mean to you?

For us - to be by each other's side forever and always.
