This love story starts in a nail salon. With family getting involved to bring Kat and Ridvan together.

Let me tell you about a Friday night in downtown Auckland that felt like the whole city was in on the secret.

Some couples are made for the big romantic gesture. Antonia and Nick are made for each other.

Cultures across the world have long considered it a blessing. And the most perfectly apt explanation comes from the ancient Celts: a wet knot is harder to untie. If that's not the ideal wedding superstition, I don't know what is.

This wedding was super special … the ceremony was on a clifftop at a stunning private property in Kuratau overlooking Lake Taupo.

It was a privilege and absolute joy to be the celebrant for someone that is as precious to me as Anna is.

The wedding of Brooke and Jono, under a huge tree, high on a hill overlooking the ocean at the divine Goldie Estate on Waiheke Island was just stunning.

Julie and Craig’s story began pretty much at the beginning … when they were born in the same hospital, a month apart in the UK.

Brooke and Dylan had created the ultimate in boho gorgeousness and they had left no stone unturned in making everywhere you turned, an absolute vision of wedding perfection.

When I think of the family baches in my life, and the incredibly beautiful memories that they hold for generations of family… I thought it was a perfect choice for a wedding for so many reasons.

This wedding was all about family and symbolised not only the love of Morne and Olivia… but also celebrated the unity of this divine family.

We’re getting married on a hill, they said. And they did so, in gorgeous style at McGrath Estate out near Waitakere in Auckland.

Their love story began at Halloween after a dinner of dumplings in Auckland’s Dominion Rd, which led them to their big wedding by the water at The Wharf, Northcote Point.
