Weddings

Scott + Stasha by Shots by M

When I first met Stasha I was a single dad with two young kids. Stasha fit into our family dynamic perfectly and became a strong female role model for the kids from early on. After being together just under a year we knew that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together and made the decision to buy our family home.

Amy & Finn by Meg Elizabeth

Finn works in professional sailing, and I work in marketing. We both love getting away and heading outdoors. Whether it be camping, skiing or sailing, as long as the day ends with a big bowl of pasta and a bottle of red, we’re happy. We both love being in the kitchen and entertaining family and friends.

Jenna + Dudley by Susannah Blatchford

Jenna — I realised fairly early on in our romantic relationship that this was it for me.  It was this feeling of total calm – I no longer felt the need to question where I was or what I was doing, I stopped comparing my life to anyone else's and was just truly happy with the life were living together – I felt totally in the moment and nothing else mattered.

Sophia + Sébastien by Leandra Creative Co

We loved having the opportunity to elope privately before having a larger wedding celebration with family (which we are still planning!) Eloping took a lot of the pressure off of planning the perfect wedding, and it allowed us to focus completely on each other and on our relationship

Ella + Ben by Meg Elizabeth

The whole week leading up to the wedding it didn’t stop raining, and that continued on the day. We only had one option, and that was to embrace it. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. The rain made it unforgettable!

Cam + Milly by Black Feather Studio

We were never very taken with the ‘traditional’ wedding style. We really wanted to create something that was true to our own style – it had to be colourful, full of fun, and of course, include some deliciously big sleeves.

Becca + Caleb by Sarah Jordan Photography

I wanted our wedding to be fun, playful, and give all the spring vibes. Spring is my favourite season because the world comes back to life and all the flowers are just unbelievable at this time. The venue was very white. White exterior, white walls etc… so I knew adding some colour to the place would make a big impact.

Jen + Leo by Emily Rose Hamilton

Leo — It was the summer of 2012. I was straight out of university and looking for a place to lodge. I successfully landed a roommate interview with Jen. Little did I know that the interview would lead to a four-hour conversation about anything and everything. Jen is incredibly beautiful and within those four hours, I could already see a rare kindness and generosity that drew me in. I’m truly grateful that I landed that interview

Carla + Jay by McGlynn Sisters

I thought my spontaneity was my weapon. I could catch her off guard at the town where we first met - Nelson. We were hiking in the hills and as we hopped out of the car to start our ascent, I saw a plastic tie from a houseplant that we’d just purchased - That could work… I knew this was the time. She must’ve just looked particularly marriable that day outside on the street. We hiked up and I accidentally shifted us up the wrong path… Carla was in jeans. It was hot. She was sweaty. She was angry. I began to doubt my impulsive decision.

We moved along the plateau, and the sweat dried. She calmed down a bit. This was my chance… And she said YES! After the obligatory, “Are you serious?”, of course.
