Finally!! Sharing their I Do’s on the ocean-scaped lawn of Ahu Ahu Villas – Melbournites Kim and Pete finally tied the knot! After multiple date shuffles – it was all so worth it – having the best of best days with family & friends – all those special to them.
A private first look, photos before the ceremony – with a cocktail reception to follow. The sun blessed them, the wind swept them and so many laughs were shared. Such a fabulous day and so well worth the wait. Thanks a bunch Mr and Mrs Ingram!

Bianca + Nathan
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.
