Spring floral vibes were called for on Grace & Hugh’s special day back in November! 🌸 I loved getting to be a part of this special day, where the colours were popping, the vibes were rustic, and the drum’n’bass was pumping 🎶

Telling their story of weaving in and out of each other’s lives until it stuck, and their proposal where they spontaneously got engaged at the Electric Ave music festival here in Christchurch was so much fun! And to do it all at the same venue where I got married a few years ago made this one heck of a wedding! 🌼

It was so much fun to relive this day when these pics dropped into my inbox recently! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love! 💕

Mr & Mrs (Mini Cooper) Ferrari!! 🤍

I had so much fun with this awesome couple - getting them hitched at the gorgeous back in February. It was such an honour to tell their love story - weaving lots of humour and jokes throughout their ceremony to perfectly reflect them both! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! 🤍

Lega and Zach were married back in January - just outside the South New Brighton Surf Lifesaving club. Such a gorgeous spot - overlooking the beach, and surrounded by many of Lega & Zach’s closest family and friends. Such a special day!!

Throwing it aaaaalllll the way back to January 2023, when the gorgeous Emily & Keegan were married at ! 💐

Though we were super hopeful for an outdoor ceremony (we even had our rehearsal out in the drizzle in the hopes we could pull it off), we did have to pull out our wet weather plan, and crowd together in the barn. The clear door covering meant we still got the beautiful view that Sudbury offers, and crowding together under shelter gave it a warm, cozy feeling. And despite our last minute changes, our bride and groom were such troopers through it all 💕

What a special day in a stunning location! I love getting to reminisce on days such as this! I even remember putting my hubbys raincoat on, and holding my bag over my head to make sure I didn’t get too disheveled on my way from the car to the venue! ☔️

When the groom catches you looking at his bride like this!!! 🙊😉

Just kidding! I had so much fun working with Abbie & Quinn, that when of .photography asked us to chat/laugh/look at each other for a candid shot, it felt only natural to have a wee giggle together 💛

I cannot wait to show you some of my favourite shots from this incredible day! Watch this space!! 👀

Grace and Hugh were married back in November at the Mt Pleasant Community Centre. This was a super fun celebration, and a special one for me as I also got married at the same venue!!! It was so great getting to see how another couple used the same space in a completely different way, and I loved their spring colour theme and rustic vibe. We had such a fun day, and Grace & Hugh even had their gorgeous fur babies join in their photos and celebrations!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything on the socials, but not because I haven’t been busy! In fact along with a busy wedding season and dance classes, I’ve been busy with my gorgeous 11 month old baby… AND growing another one who is due early July! 😳🤰🏻💙🩷

But turns out I am an all or nothing kinda girl, so this week I’ll spam the socials with some of the gorgeous couples I’ve had the privilege of marrying this season - and I may include a few throwbacks too!! For now, here’s a pic or two of me looking awkward af in front of a stunning Queenstown backdrop 💁🏻‍♀️. Peep the wee bump in the only dress that now fits me 😂. And watch this space for wedding spam throughout the week!! ✌🏼

Congratulations once again Sarah & Val!!! What a day we had celebrating you!!

Tonight is the Wedding Industry Awards New Zealand awards night!! And I am honoured to have been named as a finalist - in the category of Outstanding Celebrant for 2023 💕

What an honour to be included amongst this elite group of industry professionals! I have been crashing weddings - professionally, since 2021, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. What started as a passing comment by my husband after our own wedding, has become an integral part of who I am and what I do. It is such an honour to be involved in such a monumental moment in my couples lives, and I always still get that flutter of excitement when I get another enquiry or book with a new couple. I can’t wait to get many more people hitched over the coming years! 🤍

A few months ago I added another job title to my résumé - Mum - and with my wee bub still in NICU after being born extremely prematurely, I unfortunately cannot attend the awards gala this evening. Instead I will be watching from afar, and and waiting with bated breath to see who is announced as the winner of each category. It is an honour to simply be a finalist, and I send best wishes to all the other finalists! 🤍

In the meantime, check out this collection of photos from some of the many weddings I’ve crashed over the past couple of years 💕

I’m just sitting here soaking up some baby snuggles, and browsing through my couples pics from wedding season, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share these gorgeous snaps! 💕

Shaz & Clint are adventurers through and through, and took a ride in a Kapiti Heliworx chopper on their special day. The result? Some incredible shared memories, and these stunning images (and more to come) - taken by the insanely talented Photography by Andie 🤍

These guys were recently featured in Bride & Groom Magazine - so check out their feature if you have a mo! It’s so worth it! I’ll share more snaps from their amazing day soon! 💍

Throwing it back to this moody, January day, when I had the privilege of marrying Jacinta & Cam! 🖤

These vibes were exactly what their day called for, and getting to pronounce these best friends, soulmates, and lovers as husband and wife amidst a shower of bubbles was such a special moment! 🥀

And posting these pics to IG, where Cam first slid into Jacinta’s DM’s brings us full circle 😏

Also, can we take a moment for the dress! 🙌🏼 And that gemstone crown! 👑

Pics by the ever talented Tayla ! 🤍

Throwing it back a wee way to introduce you to… Mr & Mrs Ryan!!! 💕

Further proof that swiping right does work! 💌

Missy and Sean’s families were in for quite the surprise on their wedding day when they found out that this wonderful couple didn’t meet through mutual friends as they had been led to believe, but instead met through the power of the internet! 😂

Their ceremony was held at the Historic Christ Church in Taita - a beautiful location with a very special family connection for Missy! ⛪️

Their gorgeous family grew by two tiny feet not long after their special day 👣, and it was such an honour to be involved this part of their story.

I have the best job ever! How lucky am I to do what I do?! 💕

KELSEY + TYLER

Working with these two was an absolute dream, and I loved being involved in their special day at the gorgeous back in January.

Kelsey & Tyler are further proof that swiping right does work, after meeting via a certain app 🔥 - or as Kelsey’s grandmother would say, ‘they met on the phone’.

Their day was absolutely beautiful, and filled with love and laughter, and a little bit of drizzle couldn’t keep the smiles from their faces 💕

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Robbins!! 🎉
