A live duo at Sacred Heart, then a quartet for the first dance and party at Zest Mosman. Jess and Blake chose two different Duke Music line-ups for their wedding, with songs by Vance Joy, Stevie Wonder and Sixpence None the Richer marking the moments along the way.

Live duo at Sacred Heart, Mosman

Jess and Blake held their ceremony at Sacred Heart Church in Mosman. We performed as an acoustic duo, from instrumental music as guests arrived to their live entrance and recessional songs.
