Where to start on this gorgeous internationally home spun wedding!  Planning a wedding from Scotland with friends and family travelling from all 4 corners, Aislinn and David pulled it off perfectly with loads of personal touches and sentimental moments.  With nuptials shared in David’s parents pretty garden and adventures around Pukekura Park and East End beach – we had the best of best days – hot feet, champagne showers, sandy toes, an impromptu haka and sore smile muscles….sealed with a fiery red Taranaki sunset…  bliss xx

Rain rain go away…. but it can’t do anything to dampen this day….

So much fun at Georgia and Brandon’s Okurukuru wedding!!  Not bothered by the weather – we had a fun men’s prep in town followed by the ladies at the salon and out to the coast.  A heart-tugging ceremony in the foyer with family pics out front – then adventures into town.  A BIG thanks to the King and Queen Hotel for allowing us to play in their space – Legends.

After some brilliant speeches – including Helen’s obligatory tequila shot – we dined deliciously, strolled in the rain for some scenic shots, and then capped it all off with a fantastic boogie on down to Avalanche – kids incl.

Thanks for the sore smile & leg muscles – a definite sign of a great time  xx

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Cathie!!  Choosing the 20th December was a sentimental pick for the the wedding of Natalie and Nick – a day filled with personal touches and so much happiness.   The clouds parted on cue and Natalie was led down the aisle by her brother Joseph on the sprawling & freshly mown lawn at the Cathie family farm.  They shared a bunch of emotional words with their nearest and dearest before photos around Chris and Jo’s gorgeous gardens and on to the ever-pretty Pihama Lavender Farm.  Sealing the celebrations with the reception at the Opunake Golf Club – the sun set and the Mt popped out – thanks for the sore smile muscles, adventures and great company…  xx
