Our Wedding

Our Story

Photos

Partner in crime since ‘94, Samantha is headed to ‘straya! Although her favorite aspect of the upcoming adventure is probably meeting Winston the golden. 
This is the first wedding the Cameron sistas get to have together as bride and MOH (thanks Covid) so they will be living it up with genetically terrible dance moves, millennial music, and red wine consumption. Heather can’t wait to intro her amazing sister to the Australian fam and show her what a good cup of coffee is like.

Samantha 

Kirsten and Heather met through salsa dancing and the love of a good cowboy boot, but bonded over country music, loving rocks, and travel. You never know when or where you find someone who chooses to learn and grow with you and having Kirsten as a friend makes Heather a better (maybe a bit more self reflective) version of herself. 

Kirsten 

Fellow avid reader, and gym buddy, Heather massively lucked out in the sister in law department. Liz has many girls nights ahead of her talking wedding shenanigans, but at least Heather has stopped prying for details on the proposal!

An ocean hasn’t kept these two apart as Heather has left the northern beaches and Kayliegh has moved to Spain! Heather met Kayliegh initially through Salsa dancing, then reconnected when Kayliegh reached out regarding her sustainable swimwear start up. Right time right place and they hit it off playing as much beach volleyball as possible! 

Kayleigh

Ben is Jack Sparrow to Rob's Will Turner.  They've been friends since Rob was assigned to give Ben a tour around the school as a punishment for showing up with frosted tips. Little did they both know that would be in nearly all the same classes and from there a friendship like nothing else was formed. There is nothing they wouldn't do for each other, despite it looking like they hate each other with constant wrestling matches that leave them both very bruised and sore the next day.

Mitchell and Rob came to know each other through another friend in high school. It wasn't long before they formed their own friendship with hours of listening to Blink 182 songs, to then both indulging in a Wendy's flake shake before our drum lessons that may or may not have been on the same day. Our bond over music lead to many singalongs in the car and plenty of local band shows, which Rob always loved Mitchell's commitment to getting a mic grab off the vocalist.

Rob and Jason's relationship has become more than just being Rob's brother in law. They have formed quite the friendship over their passion of playing drums, going to footy matches to watch Jason's team always lose and just simply knowing they can call each other up and be like hey what are you up to. Jason is always there to help Rob when he needs anything despite how busy he already is. Rob is grateful to have Jason in his life and has enjoyed the growing of their friendship.

Jason

Rob and Luke became friends in high school, but new each other before that from living living in the same area.
They would always be over each others house either after school or on the weekend. Rob was always intrigued by Luke's desire to know how to build, make or create anything, even if that meant potentially blowing them both up some experiment gone wrong. There was barely ever a time where they couldn't call or just rock up to each others house and make a big night out of nothing. Luke definitely knows how to keep himself busy, but this has not stopped him being there when Rob needs him.

Our Bus from the Carrington Hotel

If you choose another spot in Katoomba to stay the night or are relying on public transport from Sydney, please make sure you are on time for the bus which will be outside of the Carrington Hotel at 12:50 pm.Please understand that hypothetically holding the bus delays the wedding.The only backup will be taking a taxi/uber to the venue and you'll have your spot on the bus on the way home.

"I'll just drive to the Venue" Please Read

Parking at our venue is limited and will be used by vendors creating the day. This is why we've arranged the bus. For those who would like a spot on the bus please reach out.If you miss the bus, there is a chance you will be turned away as there is truly no public parking nearby.The closest area to park is Lithgow from which you can grab an Uber.The last thing we want for our wedding is someone getting in an accident. The roads around the venues are narrow country roads that are dirt/semi paved. There are also Kangaroos and for the Americans there are loads of drop bears.Please, please, please plan to be picked up by the bus in Katoomba and coached in and out of the venue. Let's leave the transport to the driver and not have to worry about counting drinks!

Our ceremony and reception will both be held at our venue!

Sydney Opera House

Go to the beach!

You don't need to book a ticket on these. You can just show up and use your Opal Card!

Manly Fast Ferry

One of my favourite places in the world is Manly Beach. Ideally at the beginning of the week you will avoid most crowds and enjoy some time eating good food, taking morning walks by the beach, and looking for whales as they will be migrating. Spend two or three nights here before heading down to camden!

This is a fantastic place to stay that is easily walkable from the ferry.

Hotel Steyne

Come see our home!

Head down south of Sydney to our home in Camden via the T8 train line toward Macarthur. The stop to get off at is Campbelltown. Here you can rent a car or get an uber to the suggested accomodation (CVI). With luggage, walking from the station to the rent a car is not advised. Try to grab a taxi even though it looks close!

This is one of two main options for car rental outside of the city nearest to the train station close to the venue and our home. Highly advise using the public transportation system while in the city if at all possible. Parking is difficult and navigation is impossible.From the airport the T8 line to Macarthur getting off at Campbelltown is the best way to get to this Car Rental.

Hertz Car Rental - Campbelltown Downtown

SIXT Car & Truck Rental Campbelltown

This is the most convenient accomodation in relation to our home. If you are attending our welcome bbq or dinner on October 8th/9th, this is the best place to stay. It is within walking distance or a fast drive from our home.

Camden Valley Inn (CVI)

If you're a car enthusiast, this would be quite the opportunity to attend Bathurst 1000. Also a great reason to book accomodation early please! https://www.supercars.com/events/2025-bathurst-1000
