Claire + Caleb’s love story began back in high school, at a sixteenth birthday party, no less. From teenage sweethearts to proud parents, their relationship grew alongside them, blossoming into the kind of love that feels like home. Now, with their little girl Daisy by their side, they’ve officially tied the knot in a celebration that was as heartfelt as it was joy-filled.

Their wedding day perfectly reflected who they are as a couple: genuine, fun, and full of thoughtful details. From dancing in the rain during a surprise lakeside proposal, to their sweet last dance alone while guests prepared a sparkler send-off, every part of their journey and celebration was filled with intention and emotion.

Special Moments ~

Two moments stood out. First, having their daughter Daisy be part of the ceremony, a core memory in the making. Second, their private last dance while guests prepared outside. A quiet, love-filled moment that tied the entire day together.

And of course, we can’t forget the classic “good luck” wedding day story… A bird left its mark on Caleb just after the ceremony! Thankfully, laughter (and good humour) won the moment.

Fave Wedding Detail ~

The florals. Claire had one clear vision, beautiful blooms that would transform the space. Demavi Weddings brought it to life beyond expectations.

Fave Menu Item ~

The honey halloumi. Enough said.

The Outfits ~

Claire’s dress journey took a few twists and turns four stores, countless styles, and a lot of second guessing before she found the one. Caleb’s custom-made suit, gifted by Claire’s dad, was a highlight in itself, thanks to exceptional service and a perfect fit.

The Music ~

  • Bridal party entrance: Georgia – Vance Joy
  • Aisle song: When I Look at You (acoustic duet by Ni/Co)
  • First dance: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You – Frankie Valli
  • Last dance: Joy of My Life – Chris Stapleton
  • Exit song: Right Back Where We Started From – Maxine Nightingale
