They invited just 20 guests to their intimate wedding on March 27, 2015. They had only decided to plan it four weeks in advance!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn&#8217;t initially plan on a photographer and I was just going to get some close friends to take photos for us but then I felt we may regret not capturing those precious memories \u2026 so we ended getting one,\u201d says Kristel.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony at Holden Hill Chapel was brief, followed by lunch and some photographs. \u201cWe then went back to our house and invited the guests back with us, ordered pizza and just had a relaxing evening,\u201d smiles Kristel.<\/p>\n<p>Love the make-up? That was thanks to a last minute decision by the bride who is a qualified make-up artist. She planned on doing her\u00a0own work, but decided it would be nicer to\u00a0be pampered. So in came\u00a0Aleksandra Pinneri from <a title=\"Unveil the Beauty by Aleksandra Pinneri\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingHair\/Adelaide\/UnveilTheBeautybyAleksandraPinneri\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unveil the Beauty<\/a>. &#8220;She did an amazing job \u2014\u00a0I was really happy with her work and\u00a0believe me when I say &#8230;
