Sarah & Mark

We love acknowledging every kind of love story here at Polka Dot Bride because after all, we know the journey does not end with a wedding, it’s just the beginning.

So the story of Sarah and Mark and their gorgeous anniversary photos at Cape Naturalise completely spoke to us. With stunning captures by the talented Shannon Stent Images, the couple, who married in 2005, to capture their life as they are now. Being married for almost thirteen years is rather a milestone for this couple, who even had to visit cyber cafes during their dating years to email each other, ah the days before phones connected to the internet and dating was as simple as downloading WhatsApp! So excited to share these stunning images and the story with you today.

It was all about music for these two as they met, the pair telling “Sarah was a singer with a group who needed a band — Mark was the introduced drummer. We then played bowling in a meetup after the gig. The rest is history.”

“Sarah is incredibly beautiful and has a great soulful voice” tells Mark of his love for Sarah. “What I love about her is how she goes out of her way to help people and her determination and resourcefulness.”

On what she loves about Mark, Sarah shares ” His all-round attractiveness in spirit and in person, he is the sweetest man I know! He is also a creative genius and I remember being so impressed when he showed me his pen sketches of plants when we had just met….He’s progressed now winning international awards for his type and identity design! I guess I married up!”
