The mountain air is crisp, the light is soft, and a soft carpet of white snow has made each hint of colour vibrant and rich.

Amid the sweeping landscape of Cradle Mountain stands a tiny gathering of people. One is clothed in a flowing, fur-trimmed cloak, another in a shiny new pair of shoes and a well cut jacket.
Three others look on, but the two only have eyes for each other as they commit to a life together.
Welcome to a 2021 wedding.
After 18 months of hectic border closures, restrictions on public gatherings and multiple market crashes, it would be logical to assume Tasmania's wedding industry had taken a dive.
But - at least for some - it seems business is blooming as couples look for alternatives to the traditional "big, white wedding" with its terrifying price tag and organisational toll.
Devonport's Tracey Bruce decided to start her wedding company, Pop Up Weddings Tasmania, about six years ago.
"It really was just a culmination of things coming together," she said.
"I've got a background in event management. I'm also a celebrant. I noticed lots of the couple who came to me had travelled to Tasmania, and they'd ask me 'can you recommend a photographer? Hair and make up? Flowers?'
"It really became obvious that there was a gap that was just waiting to be filled."
Her solution - a business that offered the complete wedding package. It includes intimate ceremonies, elopements and vow renewals in some of Tasmania's most beautiful locations - including Cradle Mountain.
"Really all they have to do now is come to us with a date and the location that they want, and we step them through a process from there," Ms Bruce said.
"I've got contractors all over Tasmania, photographers, caterers ... so our customers still get a lot of choice, but they only have to deal with me. I didn't want to provide cookie cutter experiences."
And cookie cutter is certainly not the word that springs to mind as Ms Bruce recalls a wedding held on the stage of a Launceston theatre, a Scottish-themed ceremony and the marriage of two Lego enthusiasts, who used Lego figurines representing their friends and family instead of place cards.
Of course, she admitted, COVID threw more than one spanner in the works over the past 18 months, particularly for her interstate customers.But it has come with an upside.
"We're actually busier than we've ever been," Ms Bruce said.
"A lot of people who were planning on big weddings have changed their plans, we've also picked up a lot of weddings where people were travelling to New Zealand. The trend has certainly been toward micro weddings. I think COVID has really made us all reassess what's important.
"In July we did 21 weddings. We're doing 100-120 weddings a year."
And it's not just Ms Bruce who has been jumping on the trend towards wedding tourism and ceremonies in stunning destinations.
Over in Boat Harbour a "big old tin shed" sits quietly on a hill, slotted into a picturesque patch of bush near the ocean.
The shed forms the centrepiece of Sandridge Estate, which may just be Tasmania's first rustic wedding venue and glamping village.
The owners, sisters Samantha Burr and Bec Brammall, stumbled into the idea about six years ago after photos of their old family shed went viral on social media.
"I was planning my own wedding actually, and it was Bec's idea to clear the shed and have it there," Mrs Burr said. "We pretty much pulled the shed apart and put it back together, and then the photos of my wedding just went viral. People would be writing in going, 'where can we hire this barn? There's nothing else like this is Tassie'.
"It all just went from there. It feels silly to say, but we ended up pioneering this idea in Tassie."
The sisters developed their idea over the years, eventually adding a glamping village as an accommodation option for guests.
"We wanted something to connect people to their surrounds," Mrs Burr said. "We were originally looking at yurts, and then this glamping option came up. I think we were the first wedding venue in Australia to offer a rustic venue and glamping village."
Like Tracey Bruce, COVID hit Sandridge Estate hard last year, virtually wiping out the interstate market with border closures and restrictions on guest numbers.
But with the shifting rules came a new clientele - Tasmanians, many of whom jumped on the chance to 'holiday at home' and get married at the same time.
"We've had a lot of people from the South coming up here," Mrs Burr said. "Definitely a lot more Tasmanian couples in general, and a few from Western Australia. We've got one of the top beaches in Australia here, I don't blame them for wanting to come."
The venue is designed to hold about 150 for a sit down meal, and 250 for a cocktail function, but the sisters said they had also noticed a trend towards smaller weddings.
But, they said, they don't believe it will impact them forever, even applying to the council to set up permanent accommodation on site to house staff there 24/7.
"People are going smaller, but I'd say it's because of COVID," Samantha Burr said. "There's definitely still a place for a big bash, and we do look forward to more of that. Our interstate bookings are still there, they're just booked far in advance.
"In the long run ... there's definitely a market for the Tasmanian bush."
