Pull up a chair and make yourself a cuppa, there's a huge amount to get through so you could be here a while. Royce and Elyse created a beautiful celebration to express their love for one another and I felt truly privileged to be a part of this special occasion. The Tautuku Fishing Club was a fabulous venue and looked absolutely amazing - would recommend it highly for a relaxed, low key and unique wedding venue. Enjoy the sneak peek...

 Personalised cufflinks - a great gift for the boys, showcasing their individuality. Very cute!

 And a little more cuteness - this is Charlie - he almost stole the show - until the bride arrived that is.

 Charlie and Uncle Royce

 What an awesome idea

 Elyse and her ladies

 Just gorgeous ELyse - that Royce is a lucky man.

 Another great idea - Elyse and Royce wrote each other a secret letter, popped it inside this box with a bottle of "bubbly" and nailed it shut! On their fifth anniversary they get to open it, read their letters and drink their Moet. How romantic is that. The plan is to replace the bottle and seal it up until their 10th anniversary - you could keep going forever. Love this idea!

 Here comes the bride...

 A good luck hug from her brother - and one from Mum too

 A good bridesmaid alwasy has an emergency tissue on hand ... just in case.

 I love it when there are grandmas at weddings - so special.

 Here it is everyone - the FIRST wedding for the season. It was a tough job choosing my favourites so it's rather a large blog for you to enjoy.
Jan and Mike got married at the gorgeous Grandview Gardens. The rain was threatening to put a bit of a dampner on their day, but it stopped just in time for the ceremony to be held outside and it stayed away for the rest of the afternoon too. Jan and Mike were fabulous to work with, lots of fun and had a great wedding party to help them out on their big day.We had such a lovely time wandering around the gardens and everything was just perfect.

 A colder day at Grandview Gardens means that Jo lights the fire to keep the guests warm. 

Doesn't it look amazing?

 The Boys - looking swish!

 Not only does Tracey from Elite Bridal create stunning wedding dresses, 

she also drives a pretty mean wedding car. 

LOVE this car!

 One of the sweetest things I saw all day... Jan's mum and dad holding hands.

 They were right - wise men DO follow the stars.

 The bridesmaids did a great job of sprinkling the left over petals in the forest - so pretty!

 Party time.

Jan and Mike - your wedding day was absolutely beautiful and I am so lucky to have been a part of it all. Enjoy your sneak peek and travel safely on your honeymoon.
