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

Bianca and Nathan’s glorious day was full of laughter, love, beautiful styling (Nicky’s bridal table letters were incredible) & attention to detail.  Wed on the pretty lawn at Te Maru, we were treated to beautiful vows & the best little ring bearer Tommy – who nailed it.  Adventures around the farm with the most handsome of horses, reflections, champagne sprays and later to a fire sky beach stroll… The night was kicked off with a dance that was next level – so many sore smile muscles and fabulous memories.  See below for a sneak peek into their day….
