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

Tash + Ross

HAPPINESS IS…… This totally gorgeous – inside and out – twosome, wed on a friend’s breathtaking Hawera property last weekend. So much laughter and L O V E! We started at their home with Ross and his men getting rather handsome-ed up, on to the ladies who were in total cruise mode, then to the ceremony with sweeping green fields and old garden perfection. The creative was super relaxed at the local beach and park… The reception details were fresh and gorgeous – inside a purpose built man cave (yes I have house & shed envy!) – and the speeches, tear jerking in a “oh my goodness my mouth hurts from laughing” kinda way. And don’t mention that dance!!! I seriously have the most amazing clients. Thanks a bunch for the great memories !!!! xx

Mr & Mrs Plum

Such a sweet name for such a sweet twosome. From the jaw dropping pre gifts, to the heart tugging vows – Melbournites Jo and Blair kicked “I’m so in love with you” to a whole new level…. This wedding was breathtakingly gorgeous. Set on the edge of Wai-iti Beach on a sunny Saturday, we had laughter, off-roading – (2 mini rivers incl), a cave, a farm, thistles, seascapes, champagne and a bunch more laughs…. Thanks for the adventures – you guys rocked!

Brylee & Matt

When a Dad walks his daughter down the aisle with a shotgun – you know it could go one of two ways….. this one was a doozie and so much fun was had! Brylee and Matt returned from their home on the Gold Coast and exchanged vows on her parents sweeping front lawn with the most beautiful views over the Pacific. Laughter, sunshine, friends and family – what could be better?! Thanks for the special memories – here’s a taster from a little over a week ago …;)

Kirsty & Sharpie tie the knot…..

Haviana’s, stubbies, goats, sunflowers, Rue de Seine & a chopper! WHAT A DAY! On meeting Kirsty & Ben I knew the day would be super fun! The ladies started their day at the couple’s home – a goat farm complete with the most beautiful sweeping sea vista…. then they wed on a cliff top – summer finally joining us – with their nearest and dearest (incl their 3 super cute canines). Ben had arranged a surprise helicopter ride for his bride – scoring some epic locations for our creative work, then on to Lake Farm Garden for a shin dig til the early hours…. thanks for the awesomeness xx

Once upon a pretty lake setting…..

This gorgeous twosome shared their vows at their private home setting a little over a week ago. Surrounded by friends, family and their own immaculate lake, it was the setting of fairy tales. Having perfection in every detail, from the rustic sheds & lush green grass, to the dress, to the 3+ odd metre garden mirror, to the awesome bridal party to the… did I mention…. the lake?! And top that all off with rapping bridesmaids, a car to purr at, an awesome dance and a brilliant bundle of laughs. Here’s a tiny teaser of their details…. the rest are kept for their entertainment…;)
