Who is Hungry Hearts Co?

 

The face and the taste

Hey, you! It’s us - Loz and Rhys! We were hoping you’d find us here.

Our goal is to help you personalise each element of your wedding day, prioritising the people, feelings and moments you genuinely care about and leaving everything else in the wind. We tell stories and orchestrate celebrations that encapsulate couples in every possible way.

We’re here to curate and magnify the vibe. Your Vibe.

  • If you are wondering if Hungry Hearts Co are for you, I can assure you they are.

    Loz’s approach to building your ceremony and everything in between is purposeful and seamless. When she says do the questionnaire separately from your partner and pre-submit your vows and speech to her to look over - do it. Loz crafted our story perfectly. She is generous, allowing you to land your anecdotes and her merely hint to them, provides you a safe place to focus when you tear up during your vows and uses exactly the right amount of humour and sincerity when telling your story.

    Rhys is cool, calm and oh so good at his job. Our wedding photos exceeded our expectations and everyone who has seen them has felt the same. The mix of natural and black & whites, impeccable composition and joy we had shooting with Rhys (and Loz for some of the time - she is multi-talented) was the absolute best. We cannot fault Rhys’s approach and delivery, and neither will you. Booking Rhys is a no brainer.

    Hungry Hearts Co are professional, warm, talented and all round great humans. You won’t regret having Loz & Rhys as part of your day.

    Helena and Andrew

  • There are NO words to explain how SPECIAL Loz and Rhys made our day. My husband and I eloped, just the two of us in Amalfi. Having Loz and Rhys there felt like having our best mates along for the ride. Loz is an absolute vibe QUEEN and made our day that much better. She was like the bridesmaid I never had, so helpful, kind and hyped us up massively. Rhys is incredibly talented with what has does behind that camera. Our photos are like something out of a magazine but you can completely see our personalities and relationship in them, it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t dream of a better team, we are SO grateful.

    Tilly and Lachy

  • Loz and Rhys aren’t just wedding vendors. They are your biggest hype people, best mates and just all round incredible humans who go out of their way to make sure your day is absolutely magic. We adore them both and will be telling anyone getting married how much they need these legends a part of their day.

    Hayley and Dean

  • We knew Loz was the Celebrant for us from the moment we first spoke to her. We booked her before we even locked in a date with our venue and we’re so glad we did, because our ceremony was truly our favourite part of the day! It was so personal and so us and she tells a story like no-one else. Loz had everyone laughing one minute and crying the next. She kept everyone so entertained throughout the entire ceremony and all night as our MC. Lozzy’s hype, enthusiasm, excitement, iconic voice, laugh and overall vibe just made our whole wedding day so special!

    Chloe and Luke

  • Rhys photographed our wedding recently and BLEW US AWAY! The photos are incredible. Fly-on-the-wall style that captured the love and emotion of the day, super natural and candid. Most importantly, Rhys is a legend and made the portraits so effortless and fun. You spend 10 hours with someone so it’s important they have great vibes! I have lots of memories of him sprinting across the property to get the perfect shot! He communicated really consistently with us in the lead up to the day, so I always felt he had it covered. Our sneak peek was delivered the next day with so many pics for us to look back on. Couldn’t recommend Rhys more! Special shout out to his other half Loz for being a fun and fab second shooter on our day.

    Emily and Martin

  • There is no other celebrant you should even consider other than Loz. She brings the energy, tells your love story like she has known you for years & years, and has the most incredible ability to bring a sense of both calm and fun to your wedding day. We had guests coming up to us post-ceremony telling us they have never laughed and cried so much during a ceremony. Loz went absolutely over and above for us from the moment we reached out all the way through to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier!

    Francesca and Tim

  • Words cannot do justice to how incredibly lucky we felt to have Rhys shoot our wedding. Not only is he beyond talented and our photos are just SWOON WORTHY, he made the day so seamless. We often forgot he was there, clicking away and capturing our magic.

    I had a vision for a photo I wanted captured however due to the schedule of events we ended up with 30 seconds to get it, even with these time limitations, he captured one of my favourite photos of the entire day. How can someone be so sleek? I’ll never know!

    Taya and Richard

  • We can’t express how amazing the lovely Loz is. She told our love story like she’d been our besties for years! All our guests had never seen such a ceremony that was so true to the couple and so fun. She has such a fun, radiant energy that you just need on your special day. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without her.

    Amy and Harry

  • RHYS my goodness where to start! If there is anyone you want shooting your magical day, it’s Rhys. From his cool and calm nature to bringing the absolute vibes in every way, he captured every moment so perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for more! Our jaws dropped as soon as we saw our preview photos and that is only the start of what’s to come. BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!

    Olivia and Blake

  • Wowowowowwwwwwza, when we say that Queen LOZ can do no wrong, we ain’t lying.

    Having hand selected Loz to hitch us from the sea of celebrants after seeing her spectacular work at other weddings we’ve attended, we knew our socks would be well and truly blown off…..But nothing could have prepared us for the LOVE-FESTING that was our ceremony, all thanks to you, Loz.

    Without a shadow of a doubt in our minds, the most treasured part of the day was our ceremony. Loz knows exactly how to turn a brief into a magical fantasy land, and take all of your dearest friends and family along for the ride. Paired with cocktails and cheese, it was emotional rollercoaster of belly laughs and tears. The best day of our lives.

    If you want your guests to truly feel the love in the room at your ceremony, STOP what you’re doing and look no further than Lozzy. She’s worth her weight in DIAMONDS and so much more.

    Bec and Jonny

  • Loz and Rhys are so, so talented in what they do. They’re the perfect duo and made us feel so comfortable on both of the days we spent with them.

    Loz was constantly hyping us up, checking in with us as the day approached and gave us the confidence to write our vows with her How to Vow guide. The words Loz wrote for our ceremony were unbelievable and she told our story in the most perfect and beautiful way that left us both speechless. It felt as if she had known us for years and knew our story personally.

    The pure talent of Rhys also left us blown away as he floats around so seamlessly. His laid back nature made our camera anxiety go away instantly! We are yet to receive all of our photos but the sneak peek we got is out of this world! Rhys captured the most perfect moments and the photos are so incredible, we couldn’t believe the attention to detail!

    Loz and Rhys truely made both our legal ceremony and Europe Elopement an absolute dream and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to work with or spend our special day with they are the very best in the biz!!!

    Lil and Dane

  • My husband and I eloped in Italy and Loz was literally like my step in bridesmaid. She was there to help me every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure that our day was an encapsulation of us as a couple. Loz really took the time to get to know us and has such a way at making everyone feel like a million dollars!

    Rhys captured our day and every emotion that came with it so perfectly, what a talented human! Not only does he know how to work a camera, but his easy going nature and positive energy made us feel so comfortable.

    Being an elopement, we didn’t have any loved ones there which was a bit nerve inducing, however having these two with us made us feel so at ease and felt like getting married in front of a couple of lifelong friends (even though we had just met).

    Lauren and Francis

  • Rhys’ talent is just BEYOND. We were blown away with the photographs he captured of us. Beyond anything we could have hoped for, I’m not exaggerating when I say it brought tears to our eyes. Nothing posed, just pure and honest captures of the day. Rhys was so efficient that we popped away to capture some photos and were back with our guests before we knew it, which meant more time to enjoy the party. His cool, calm and relaxed energy meant that we had the most fun, we felt completely comfortable and we could put full trust in him to work his magic without the tiniest speck of doubt. We honestly could not imagine anyone more suited to hang out with us on our day and play such an important role.

    Laura and Tim

  • Thanks to Loz, we were able to share the story of our life together with all our near and dear. It managed to be sincere, heartfelt yet also genuinely hilarious. Loz was so personable that some people thought she was a guest, not our celebrant! She worked the room like a god damn pro.

    Rhys is the ultimate chiller and his skills as a photographer cannot be overstated. Rhys was unobtrusive and didn’t stage manage my partner or I which we really appreciated. It felt authentic. We don’t take a lot of photos and don’t have that natural ease that some couples do in front of cameras, however this didn’t stop Rhys from capturing beautiful photos.

    You will not regret hiring them for your wedding. We have so much love for them both!

    Laura and Sophie

  • Highly recommend Loz and Rhys. They both made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. Rhys is such a professional, he made sure that we could spend the most time with our guests and still took the most amazing photos. Loz is a ball of happy energy and made our ceremony so personal and unique. Could not rate them higher!!

    Brian and Natalie

  • There is no other celebrant you should even consider other than Loz. She brings the energy, tells your love story like she has known you for years and years, and has the most incredible ability to bring a sense of both calm and fun to your wedding day. We had guests coming up to us post-ceremony telling us they have never laughed and cried so much during a ceremony. Loz went absolutely over and above for us from the moment we reached out all the way through to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier!

    Chez and Tim

  • Rhys is exceptional. His warmth and relaxed style flows through to his photos where he’s able to capture the energy in a natural, unscripted manner while making sure we were comfortable and relaxed. Cannot recommend Rhys highly enough, his photography skills are unmatched.
