What a joy to share the day with Blair, Jill & their daughter Lily at Trents Vineyard. Christchurch turned on a stunning day as Blair & Jill tied the knot in front of friends and family with hilarious celebrant Sean Joyce, amazing food and gorgeous wine. To top off their special day, Blair & Jill stunned everyone with a spectacular first dance.

Here’s what Blair & Jill had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “OMG I love it! It is perfect. Blair said its outstanding. It is defiantly so much better than we expected. Thank you so much! You guys were so easy to work with and what you have produced is amazing. It really takes me back to the day and makes me want to do it all over again. Thank you very much!” – Jill & Blair

When Dominique contacted us about her & Eric coming all the way from Colorado to Tekapo in the South Island of New Zealand to get married, we got quite excited. They decided to scrap the original Colorado wedding plans and elope in Tekapo, New Zealand, with their closest family and friends in tow. This wedding was full of adventure, from their stunning lakeside accomodation to the historic Tekapo church, the mountain tops above Tasman Glacier to the Hermitage Hotel at the base of Mt Cook (Aoraki). It was an absolute honour to be a part of Eric & Dominique’s day.

Heres what Eric & Dominique had to say : “We hired Lovelight based on their astounding portfolio of work and particular style. When you hire someone across the world without meeting them you hope they are great to work with too. We weren’t just pleased, we were blown away by their professional and personal approach to work and the end result of our perfect wedding video.

We worked with Mark and Craig for our beautiful wedding in Tekapo. We met with them before and described better what kind of focus we wanted our video to have. At times I didn’t even notice they were there and yet they still perfectly got all of the important shots. Our wedding day was such a blur I was a little bummed we didn’t take time to get drone shots over the church and lake but then the guys were like, oh we already did that early this morning before we came to film you guys. What All Stars! (And those shots turned out awesome giving our video a bit of an epic feel). And to boot communication after the wedding has been excellent and our video was delivered earlier than promised. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the Lovelight team.”
