Real Wedding: Shelley & Ed – Photography by Rachel Wybrow

Categories: Weddings-Real Wedding: Shelley & Ed - Photography by Rachel Wybrow

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship… Ed and I have been together for just over six years and met through a mutual friend on a night out on the town!

After our low-key engagement, we decided to set a date six months from then. We wanted a small wedding with our family and close friends and decided Tekapo would be ideal.

I am originally from Oamaru so knew the South Island setting would be perfect and we are hoping to move back down South soon!

Tell us about your special day, was there a specific theme or style? Tell us a little about the setting, the styling and some of your favourite details… We were lucky our photographer and celebrant were so understanding with our laid back organising as we only decided on where we would have the ceremony the day before!

The weather was perfect and the day went smoothly. While we were getting photos taken around Lake Tekapo my sister and mum did all the styling at Run76 where we had the reception.

Tell us about your main outfits: I eventually found my dream dress at Secret Lace Bridal after going to what felt like every wedding dress shop in Auckland!

What were some of the most memorable/unique moments from the day? Getting ready with friends and family in the morning then finally seeing each other for the first time at the ceremony.
