Zoe and Steven – married at Outward Bound

Steven suddenly developed a love of horses.  Well, so it seemed anyway.  I mean, sure, horses are great, right?  But wait.  There was also a pretty girl hanging out with the horses, maybe it was Zoe that was the attraction.  I think that might have been it, because here we are, some years later and Steven and Zoe are here at the Outward Bound centre, getting married.…

Emma and James – Married, The Old Barn

The moment James and Emma told me they adopt pets from the SPCA, and can’t bring themselves to separate sibling cats, I was sold.  Totally taken in by their warm hearts and I knew we were going to be fast friends.  …

Jodie and Chris – Married, Spy Valley

So good.  So good.  I got you. If there was a theme to Jodie and Chris’ gorgeous day, it would be the words SO GOOD. Because it was. The weather was good. The people were good. There were even sheep, at one location, and they were good.…

Aline and Ruedi – ELOPED, Paripuma

It’s like the entire universe of all of the sunshine that has ever been (that’s a lot) is emanating out of Aline’s very being when she looks at Ruedi. Ruedi, in turn, spent the whole day looking like the cat that got the cream.…

Fiona and Brad – Married, Woodend Gardens

Brad and Fiona were teenage sweethearts.  Although they went to the same school they didn’t meet there, it wasn’t until she got herself a part-time job as a checkout chick at The Warehouse that Brad spotted her.  He’d wander past and notice the pretty girl serving customers.  …

Kate and Hayden – Married, Pencarrow Lodge, Wellington.

They love the rain, they love their boat, and they luuuuuurve each other.  Cue sweet little getaway on their boat in the middle of winter, and in sweeps a southerly with a generous smattering of rain. What better time to whip out an engagement ring and without a word pop it on Kate’s finger.  …

Aleisha and Jono – Married, Ratahi Lodge

It wasn’t love at first sight.  When you’ve been watching love stories as long as we have, you know that’s not entirely necessary anyway. At first Jono thought that Aleisha seemed a tad frosty, and Aleisha wasn’t really Jono’s biggest fan either, even though she did notice his baby blue eyes and his infectious laugh when they first met.  …

Jodi and John – Married

He was smitten the moment he met her.  John, the quiet hardworking farmer, thought he was just going in for a haircut, but as we’ve found out over the last couple of wedding stories, an ordinary appointment can quite easily lead to love, and eventually a wedding day!  …

Anneliese and Tama – Married in Tauranga

Once upon a time I needed a model for a styled wedding shoot we were doing, and Anneliese said she knew someone that might suit.  Tama showed up dressed as a groom, and Anneliese the bride.  It was all just pretend, of course, but I couldn’t help noticing that there seemed to be a bit of a spark between them.  …
