How many true love stories begin with a girl looking across a crowded room and locking eyes with an 'energetic, sweaty, mess'? Sam must have had quite the pulling power as his future bride, Georgia, was seduced by the dashing airforce chopper pilot (ok so I had to get that bit in early to off-set the sweaty mess vision) as he was grooving away on the dance floor of the Beer Barrel in Palmerston North (affectionalty dubbed 'Paradise City' by the new Mr. & Mrs. Hatrick).

A truly autumnal wedding filled with low light, deep colours, and two people in love...and laughter. Rob and Caroline Herbert were married at The Old Church in Meeanee, Hawkes Bay.

This is a love story that starts with Chapter One at an institution all Hawke's Bay young people know well - Shed 2. A young, foxy blonde Nicola spied a tall dark and handsome stranger across the room and the rest, as they say, is history.

There was never any doubt that Sarah and Hamish going to get the altar. After a decade together, it was a matter of 'when' not 'if'. Having booked me way back in 2009 (!!!!) we've all been looking forward to this for a looooooong time

It's not often a sneaky little tear escapes me at a wedding. After being part of more than 500 of them, love seems like a fairly common currency (what a great world I live in!). But sometimes, something just gets ya. At Israel and Sharon's wedding, just about everything got me.

The first of the winter weddings is always a treat for me. The bright colours of summer have been stripped back to reveal the delicious warm hues of the empty vines, which beautifully mirrored the tones inside the Old Church Villa, where Sarah and her bridesmaids got ready.
