Quotes
Cath Ullyett
The wedding photographer
“Jess and Sharik had the most welcome surprise guest at their Hobbiton wedding yesterday. While they were signing their wedding documents, Elijah and his family were escorted past the ceremony garden and had stopped to watch. After the couple had finished signing, I rushed around to meet him and asked him to come and have a few photos with the couple. Being the gentleman he is, he didn’t want to interfere, however, with some friendly encouragement, he stepped in and was welcomed by all. Thank you, Elijah, for making their special day that much more memorable. We all loved it.”
