Nick and Kylee are very non-traditional, and wanted their wedding to reflect them. They both love the colour purple, the the colour-scheme was an easy choice! Kylee loves to wear 1950s clothing when she gets the chance and Nick is a retro car guy. Throw in Kylee’s obsession with skulls and you have yourself a 1950s meets gothic extravaganza!Read more...

If this elopement had a soundtrack, it'd be a very emotional rendition of You Take My Breath Away mixed with the Game of Thrones theme tune. Jess and Sam's beautiful wedding is a genuine breath-taker, as they got married at Glendhu Bay Lookout, which looks over the Mount Aspiring National Park. Fittingly, I am now aspiring to get to this national park, stat. Then, they took a helicopter ride to Fog Peak and, well, the photos speak for themselves.Read more...

Heather and Iggy's wedding took place in St Omer Park, Queenstown. Their lakeside ceremony was intimate and perfect for them. "We chose to have a short ceremony in a Queenstown park on the edge of Lake Wakatipu ($35 hire fee to the council - yeah!) We narrowed down the precise location the day before, and then updated everyone via our prepared contact lists. The set-up was easy - a few chairs for those that needed it, strings of cranes placed in the willow trees by the best man and Iggy, and a few well-coordinated meet-ups with the celebrant and my brother that played our music from a portable speaker."Read more...
