They met on the dance floor, and married with (an unplanned) dance or two: there was no better way for this couple to celebrate! ⁠
⁠
Annette and Sean’s day was relaxed, joy-filled and completely them, with great music, surprises and their pup right by their side (swipe to the end to see them!)⁠
⁠
Captured by @kittyloveslove, it’s love now on Polka Dot Featured! We’ll meet you over there.⁠

⁠
For our Mindful Issue, wedding photographer, @tillyrobertsphoto, is sharing a beautiful perspective on creating a photography experience that feels calm, supportive and true to you. ⁠
⁠
From easing camera nerves to making space for genuine connection, this is a gentle reminder that the most meaningful wedding photos are often the ones captured when you feel relaxed enough to simply be yourself.⁠

If music is your life, you probably want your wedd If music is your life, you probably want your wedding to sound like this.⁠..

Nathan, the face behind @melbentco, and Alana didn’t just include music in their day.

They built the whole thing around it, from their very low-key and chill reception entrance to the ride over to the reception itself in this incredible party bus!

Again we’re so excited to share this one with you Dotties. You know where to find it!
