Melissa and Jono are two of the kindest, most generous, fun-loving people you’ll find. Together they make a pretty formidable team, and a wonderful couple. And what a special day they had in rural Southland. Mr and Mrs Dennison walked out of their ceremony to the sound of Jono’s precious father’s bagpipes, and the special […]

Covid may have thwarted Ash and Simon’s Fijian wedding plans but being able to celebrate with even more of their family and friends on home soil in Invercargill was surely a good Plan B. Plus, Fiji makes for a great honeymoon destination when travel opens up again! The day was relaxed, fun, and all about […]

The titles of my blogs are always my couple’s names but I really tossed up the idea of putting Lottie’s name in there too. Cassie and Nathan just adore their wee princess – she is the most loved and celebrated wee lady, and the way she looks at her parents is pure adoration. More and […]

Caitlin and JB got a stunning sunny Southland day for their celebrations at The Hideaway 201. You couldn’t ask for better weather in March. These two were my last wedding before the Covid-19 lockdown, and what a way to finish the season. He’s a shearer from Ireland, and she’s a Kiwi rousie. Mr and Mrs […]

A DIY masterpiece – Brooke and Aidan’s big day was a celebration of all things family and homegrown. Eucalyptus foraged from the farm was used as a bouquet, and it smelt divine. The farm was a goldmine of beautiful spots for photos! The old farmhouse was a delight to work in – big window seats […]

It was a case of “go big or go home”, and from the first chat we had about Bronwyn and Bryan’s wedding, I knew this was going to be one heck of a party. When these two wonderful humans were planning their big day, they had to make a choice between a small affair with […]

I’ve never teared up at a wedding as much as I did on Jamie and Craig’s big day. It started when Craig read out the card his almost-wife had written for him on the morning of the wedding. It was the most beautifully written note and made us all tear up. And the special moments […]

These two are an absolute delight to be around. Their love is so strong and they’re crazy about each other. It’s exactly as it should be! And you guys, possibly for the first time in my career, the groom said he was happy to take more photos because he was enjoying the day so much! […]

Are you able to put together a beautiful string trio from members of your family, to play at your wedding? Because Lauren and Sam can, and it was amazing! Invercargill’s Civic Theatre provided an incredible venue for Lauren and Sam’s wedding reception, after a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Argyle Cottage Gardens. If you’re looking for […]

Fiordland Lodge weddings might just be my new favourite thing. How refreshing to step away from Queenstown and its tourists, and into fresh, lush Fiordland. Heather and Nicole’s big day marked the start of my wedding season. I like to kick things off in style! There’s something quite special and cosy about wedding guests all […]
