Champagne smiles and golden moments under the setting Central Otago sun. đź’«

Thank you so much for the very kind feedback and yummy glass of bubbles 🥂

I’d raise a toast to you two any day of the week.🫶

“Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with - she also gave us excellent recommendations on a photographer, hair and makeup, and catering (we aren’t local) and we ended up having absolute superstars around us for our little elopement.
Emily’s tone and delivery was perfect for our day, and she was also so personable, funny, and kind. Thank you so much!!”

Time to renew my vows….

Because I continue to be incredibly grateful to do what I do in the name of love.

I don’t take this honour lightly so these are the promises I make to couples as their celebrant:

🤍 I will always respect the time you have together, so you can share little moments and cuddles, these precious minutes create everlasting memories.

🤍 I will not go rogue or off piste with the ceremony chat. l’Il stick to the brief and what we have planned.

🤍 I will be on time, in fact l’ll turn up 30mins before
your wedding ceremony is scheduled to start.

🤍 I will hold your flowers, the tissues, jackets, hot water bottle or the microphone if you need a helping hand.

🤍 I will do everything to support and make you feel 100% comfortable and at ease in front of 130 of your family and friends or even when it’s just the two of you standing in nature with mighty mountains surrounding you.

🤍 I will be safe hands and a kind voice to help guide
you through the pre stage of getting your legal paperwork, ceremony and vows finalised.

🤍 I will make sure I only turn up in an outfit that won’t clash or look out of place. I’ll often run my outfit ideas past you just to make sure I’m on the right page.

🤍 I support the fact that it’s 100% your day, it’s not
about me.. on your wedding day the only thing your guests will hear about me is my name and that I’m stoked to be up front with you both.

Above all, I promise to be authentic and present in the moment for you and your love story because my job is to honour the way you want to get married - completely & always.

Heavens above.

When loved ones are not their in person but their spirit and memories live on in the joy you share when you remember them and when you are reminded that they helped shaped the person you are and how you embrace life & love đź’›

Sisters.

Knowing.

There is something so special created in that space of sisterhood, it’s the knowing that on your biggest day she’ll be there multi tasking, cheering you on, giggling, holding your veil from taking flight and keeping you grounded.

This sister! Everything a sister could ask for and this photo is such a gorgeous glimpse into the support of having your sisters back🙏

When together is your favourite place to be.

Time spent well with these elegant and character full humans. It was such an honour to share the afternoon with them and their family.

Thanks for the delightful email.

“Back home to some semblance of normality.

Sending our most heartfelt thanks for such a wonderful ceremony. The location was not too bad either.

You played a large part in creating the joy and the magic of the day.

Cheers and Thanks
Guy and Leesa”
