Marie & Kane had a beautiful wedding on the farm at Fairlie. The rain came in just in time for the vows but it certainly didnt put a dampener on the day. I have known Marie for many years and it was such an honour to be a part of their day x

Nearly a year.....congratulations you two xx Sarah Perriam-Lampp Will Perriam-Lampp
Laugh and laugh we did!! What an amazing wedding for two spectacular humans! An elopement to the alps was the perfect start to the Perriam-Lampp marriage, the snow even fell as they said their I Do's! The fire was roaring in the background of this intimate and super special ceremony and I think all that were there will agree that it was hilarious (especially the reading from Will's brother and the pots of water that weren't quite the polished water ritual we had seen on pinterest?!) and it totally suited them! 100% their style, complete with good whisky, great company and LOTs of laughs.

Bridget and Ro made their vows to each other on a stunning Christchurch day in the gardens at Mona Vale. Complete with two lads in fluro braces and their beloved dog, the ceremony was perfect for these two self-proclaimed nerds.
In a ceremony filled with laughter and special moments, it was a fabulous day and it was such a priviledge to be part of the beginning of their next exciting chapter under a whole new last name- congratulations Mr & Mrs Gilden!
