Debbie and Micheal – a gorgeous winter wedding….
Deb and Mike’s plans for an easy and intimate affair came to life last week when they shared their winter “I do’s” on the tropical deck of the Nice Hotel… Rugged up in fur & a sharp suit, they tied the knot in front of those closest to them – lots of laughs & happiness. I knew I was going to love this wedding from the moment we met – Deb and Mike are one of those couples that seem to sparkle – you are super stars and your day was just beautiful xx

Mr & Mrs Fregeau
An absolute breath stealer! Michelle & Eric’s special day was kicked off with a private first look at Onaero, followed by a super fun creative session and a most beautiful ceremony – cliff top Avista. With a heavily international guest list, it was not only a celebration of togetherness but also of reminiscing and making new memories. I had such a good time, I didn’t want to leave! Here’s a sneak peek into their gorgeous day…..xx

Mikala & Hamish
Coming together on a very Autumnal Taranaki Saturday, this perfect twosome tied the knot blessed with dewy kisses from the sky. The ceremony was intimate and held in the gorgeous surroundings of the Nice Hotel. Serenaded in by the angelic voice of a Bridesmaid, Mikala swapped heartfelt vows with Hamish followed by a beautiful song by the gorgeous flower girls…. and then was presented with a wedding gift from her new husband…. a Dirt Bike – her reaction ….. priceless. We adventured to Tupare in a break in the weather, had some fun at the King and Queen, and headed back to Nice for party-time!. So much love, laughter & aching smile muscles… thanks for the memories xx

Mr & Mrs Cunningham!!
Once upon a beautiful Taranaki Saturday…. the breathtaking Katie and her handsome James said “I do” amongst their closest friends and family. Set in the gorgeous Oak Valley Gardens, we were spoilt with sunshine, laughter and all those things that make memories happy. We mixed the river with the land and a touch of ocean breeze…. having a bunch of fun along the way for the creative shoot, and our beautiful Mountain blessed them with his presence. Thanks for being so gorgeous and for the endless belly laughs…. xx

Mr & Mrs Riley
In a splash of colour and cross cultures, this breathtaking Indonesian princess married her Kiwi prince a little over a week ago…. Catherine and Micheal’s beautiful ceremony was full of heartfelt words, traditions and vibrance. Both families were heavily involved and even though the guest list was rather full, it felt completely intimate. Held on the gorgeous grounds of Ahu Ahu Beach Villas overlooking the Pacific, friends and family gathered for a vibrant & emotional affair … laughter, tears, a second first look, bubbles, games, dancing …. bliss…. thanks for having me along on the journey – a truely beautiful couple xx
