THE HAPPIEST NEW YEAR

New Years Eve doesn’t normally look like this for me – I’ve always had a kind of strict policy about keeping it free to spend time with my family. Even when Laura’s email came in, asking if I was available, I ummed and aaahed. But the fact that I even wavered was an indication of how perfect the evening sounded and, thankfully, there was a part of me that just couldn’t say no. Especially after I chatted to Laura, and went over the plans for their wedding. As magical as it all sounded, I knew that the real magic would be in the moments, and the coming together of two families spread across the globe, not the million dollar fireworks display Melbourne kindly put on for them. And if there was anybody else I could have chosen to welcome in the new year with, these guys would have been it. Hopefully you’ll be able to see from the images what a time of celebration it was, and how they filled the space around them with love and joy, and a sense of being together and belonging together. And how everyone was so incredibly happy to be there in the moment, myself included. I think I’ll always look back on it as one of my favourite NYE celebrations, and always be grateful for the pleasure of spending the night with such remarkable, genuine people.

Thanks for having me there, Chas and Laura, as part of your celebrations and your story. I hope I’ve told my part well. And I look forward to seeing what comes next, and to hearing what this new years eve brings for you. That’s one heck of a night to live up to!
