Melissa and Michael, featuring their special fur baby Doug who walked them back down the aisle as Mr & Mrs Langley! 🤍 This was such a relaxed and fun day. We loved being there for photos and video! We left with our cups full, reminded of why we love our jobs so much.

Wairarapa wedding
Brackenridge Country Retreat Martinborough Wedding - Theresa and Shavin
We spent the day with Theresa and Shavin at Brackenridge in Martinborough starting with their preparations/getting ready photos, ceremony and right through to their party! @traveller.video was on video duty for the ceremony and speeches, while I had the lovely Jess from @jessdewsnap helping me with photos. Having a second photographer with me means that we can be in two places at once for the getting ready photos! I love at this time of year (October) the blossom trees blooming in the backdrop for the ceremony space! This was an incredibly warm and sunny day so we decided to split their wedding portraits with their bridesmaids and groomsmen up into two parts - 20 minutes after the ceremony in the shade and then 15 minutes after dinner/speeches for sunset. The sunset was amazing, make sure you scroll down to see what we captured.
Some of our favourite vendors were on board for this wedding including Jaymie Jarvis for makeup, Floriade for flowers and The Amazing Travelling Photobooth. Theresa and Shavin thank you so much for trusting us with your day (and for your beautiful Google Review talking about your experience!)
Martinborough Tree Church Wedding Photos - Grace and Jarrod
Mr & Mrs Watson! 🤍 It was such an honour to photograph Grace and Jarrod’s engagement in 2022 and more recently their wedding at Martinborough Tree Church.
There are a few things from their day that I look back on as a highlight! Grace got ready at her family’s farm in the Wairarapa which felt really sentimental for me as I grew up in a rural area also. She found her dress while visiting family in Australia (with the help of her Grandma) from @luvbridal. Their bridesmaid Emma made their wedding cake, big shout out to @rainbirdscakes! Grace’s cousin designed their invites and save the date cards, her page is @dolly.and.moo and she also sang their first dance song (a very talented lady). All of their wedding signage was designed by Grace herself. Every little detail was curated perfectly as Grace loves designing and has a background working in events. There were so many amazing people within their family who helped make their day happen with all these special touches.

The best wedding vendors in Wellington, Wairarapa and the Kapiti Coast!
I’m incredibly lucky to work alongside some of the most talented wedding creatives located here in Wellington! Your wedding day is a collective effort and each individual is an expert in their field. While I’m thinking of lighting, timing, backdrops and bringing joy to your photos, other vendors have their own set of knowledge and experience. There are so parts to a wedding day and I’m so grateful to be a big part of making couples dream wedding and ideas into a reality. Here are some of the vendors I have great experiences working with and I know you will love what they can do for your day. Most of these vendors will travel to the Wairarapa and the Kapiti Coast.
