Meg & Duncan - The Edwards Newcastle Wedding

COVID Ceremony in Newcastle West

Aren't weddings incredible? You get to see two people who love each other immensely tie the knot, and there's usually dancing and copious amounts of food and alcohol.

Well, the wedding of Meg and Duncan certainly was!

Meg and Duncan's wedding was on a beautiful September day at the stylish Newcastle Wedding venue, The Edwards in Newcastle West.

I met Duncan many years ago when I worked as an admin assistant for him as a physiotherapist. He LOVED his coffee and was extremely passionate about health and helping people; he still is. 

He contacted me a few months ago about photographing his wedding to Meg, and we met for coffee. Within minutes I knew I wanted to be a part of their big day.

Meg is made for Duncan - beautiful, honest, and headstrong. And I could tell how smitten they were with each other.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Duncan and Meg knew their wedding would be a bit different. They opted for a brunch wedding instead of a later/dinner style, and instead of the usual dance floor, they chose a selection of old-school board games to entertain everyone. Many of the board games were vintage finds, so many guests had a great time working them out and laughing with each other. It was a great idea and worked like a charm; all the guests had a ball!

Unfortunately, Meg's bridal party was living in QLD and couldn't make it for the big day. So they adapted and set up Zoom chat's on a TV in the reception. I have never met a more adaptable and chilled bride considering the circumstances. Meg wasn't upset and just went with the flow. Not even the Covid pandemic could dampen her excitement to marry Duncan. 

The Edwards was more than accommodating to work around the rules and restrictions and make their day so special. What's great about The Edwards, as a wedding venue in Newcastle, is the options for customising the space and theme for the day. Meg was able to have things moved around easily to create a more warm and intimate environment for the reduced guest count. 

There was so much smiling and happiness throughout the day that my cheeks hurt when I finished up. It was truly such an honour that these guys trusted me to capture their day. I loved every minute of it.
