Katie and James’ wedding at Tuggeranong Homestead was nothing short of magical. Set against the picturesque backdrop of this historic venue, their celebration perfectly captured the rustic charm that has become synonymous with this beautiful Canberra location. With a color palette of dusty blue, accented by white and lush greenery, every detail of the day reflected the natural beauty of the homestead.
Katie and James have shared a unique bond since childhood. Their families, best friends for years, often brought them together, and it was during these gatherings that a young Katie and James developed a crush on each other at just 15 years old. Their teenage years were filled with hope that they might cross paths whenever their families met up. A memorable but awkward ‘date’ at 17 saw them watching “The Emperor’s New Groove” on video, sitting on separate couches in Katie’s parents’ living room. Though they parted ways after that evening, fate had other plans.
Fast forward to 2018, and a swipe right on Tinder rekindled the connection between Katie and James, proving that some love stories are simply meant to be. From exploring new places and pubs to walking their beloved dog, Jasper, and camping under the stars, their relationship blossomed, bringing them even closer.
Their love story came full circle when James proposed on 11/11/22 at Bermagui, a place filled with special memories for them both. The intimate moment was captured on video as James got down on one knee, and Katie, of course, said yes!
As they exchanged vows at Tuggeranong Homestead, surrounded by their closest family and friends, it was clear that Katie and James had found their perfect happily ever after. Their wedding was a true reflection of their journey together—rustic, beautiful, and filled with love.
This beautiful wedding at Tuggeranong Homestead was more than just a celebration—it was the culmination of a lifelong love story. Here’s to Katie and James, a couple who proves that true love always finds a way!
