Erin & Chris

Bowls, bespoke dresses, wine & pom poms – Erin and Chris’ day was destined to be a little bit different – and how pretty it was! The heavens opened in the morning and cleared just in time for the lawn ceremony. Erin made her own dress and those of her bridal party, styled her wedding, all whilst working her job and a Mum to two – what a superwoman!! ……And with all of this – their special day was stress-free, easy and beautiful – just like them. Thanks for the fun day – here is a teaser into their colourful celebration of love – just over a week ago…

Erica & Reto

BREATHTAKING….When things seem to be going not to plan but turn out heavenly… the skies opened last weekend and blessed us! Playing in the rain worked a treat on Saturday when Reto and Erica shared their special day. Reno met his beautiful wife for a first look in their New Plymouth home before setting off on some creative adventures. Brollies, water, laughter, beef jerky and wine – such a fun day! With a bunch of family travelling from far corners of the globe to celebrate at Okurukuru, Taranaki showed 4 seasons in a day and we got some gorgeous results. Thanks beautiful people for having me along for the ride! Here is a taster into their blissful day xx
