Page + Andrew | Rose & Smith's

Page and Cripps have known each other since high school and during our first zoom meeting, we quickly figured out we had mutual friends in Wanganui. They told me the story of how they got together and I got such a lovely, chilled vibe from the both of them. We went through all the vendors that they had booked, I knew on the back of my mind to expect an amazing wedding but what I got to document on the actual day exceeded what I had imagined. These guys have immaculate taste and all the details were to die for! From the dress to the bouquets, the arch down to the cake and champagne glasses. Not only was it a beautiful wedding, it was one full of laughs from start to finish. They surrounded themselves with the best crew of bridesmaids and groomsmen and had such a ball. This was also the first time I have submitted a wedding which got featured on Together Journal.

Rotdany + Ben | Martinborough

Rotdany + Ben got married on their family property in Martinborough surrounded by immediate family and their beautiful dog, Kobe. The day started off overcast with rain forecasted for the whole day but at around midday, the clouds lifted and it turned out to be the most stunning day. Rotdany’s family are Cambodian so there was a lot of traditions incorporated into the ceremony. I watched her mum and aunt roll rice dumplings and fruit bowls to offer to their ancestors. During the ceremony, the couple lit an incense each followed by each guest. After the ceremony, the guests all headed down to the square while we took a few photos around the property. Reception was held at Mesita with the most delicious tapas and cocktails. It was such an honour to document such a lovely intimate ceremony full of tradition.
