We had people travelling from all over and we wanted to make sure the day suited &#8216;us&#8217;, but also showcased Sydney,&#8221; says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>The day had its fair share of unexpected twists and turns, including a last-minute venue change due to torrential rain. However, newlyweds Ashley and Rick, aged 32 and 35 respectively, say they wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catalina is beautiful in any weather. Literally nothing could rain on our parade. We got absolutely soaked during the photos, but we had fun. We wouldn&#8217;t change a thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownshoesproductions.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Brown Shoes Productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226618 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ashley_Rick_Modern-Wedding_Brown-Shoes-Productions_005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226658 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ashley_Rick_Modern-Wedding_Brown-Shoes-Productions_SBS_005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226659 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ashley_Rick_Modern-Wedding_Brown-Shoes-Productions_SBS_006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226621 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ashley_Rick_Modern-Wedding_Brown-Shoes-Productions_008.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226622 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Ashley_Rick_Modern-Wedding_Brown-Shoes-Productions_009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ashley surprised everyone when she made a drastic change to her look the day of the wedding.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;I had grown out my hair for the lead up to the wedding, but a week before I was really feeling like I wanted a short, cropped look.
