Ben and Arlene

What do you get when a Home economics teacher books you for your wedding? You get GOOD FOOD! I followed Arlene on Instagram and she gave me the recipe to the best chicken soup ever. I loved seeing her share recipes, what her students were cooking in the kitchen, and her all-round joy for her job.

We sometimes joke, in the wedding industry, that vendors are happy when they are fed. Arlene took this seriously. She booked lunch at “The Lizzy” in Armadale, the table was filled with food for her bridal party and Joel and I. We sat and enjoyed some of the best pub food out there!

After we could eat no more, we ventured off to Araluen Park for portraits. Wow, what a gorgeous place, I could have stayed and take photos for hours and hours. We were rushed for time but the layout of the park meant we could stroll through, stopping along the way at different areas.

As the sun was beginning to set we made our way to Thompsons Creek in Roleystone. Ben held Arlenes hand as she made her way down the rocky steps. Champagne was popping and the lighting was “chefs kiss”.
