    The “breaking of the bread” ceremony with Sanja’s dad Stojan and Rob’s dad Frank. This predicts who will wear the pants in the family. Both dads took this very seriously, a lot of strategising was undertaken beforehand to ensure their half of the bread was bigger and their daughter/son will be the boss.

    If there is an enduring memory of their wedding reception, it was the dancing. Guests danced all night!

Congratulations to Sanja and Rob celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary today.

Yes, it’s a year ago today that they were married, where has the year gone? It seems like just a couple of months ago I was surrounded by so many people dancing all day. Their wedding was a blend of Macedonian and Australian cultures, their day included lots of Macedonian wedding traditions. I had a ball photographing all the elements of their wedding.

I hope you both have a great day today remembering the moments of a year ago. Cheers to you both!
