Here’s what Tony & Sally had to say after watching this wedding film:
“Thanks so much for capturing all the little details of our day. Watching it brings back so many memories of our dream day! P.S Love the film title!” – Sally & Tony

Karel & Laura are two high school sweethearts who wed at Cashmere Presbyterian Church infront of their family & friends in a very fun-filled and jubilant wedding ceremony.

Our newly weds were joined by both sets of Mothers’ singing a duet beautifully, and joining a choir whose music resonated throughout the beautiful stone church.
We have never before witnessed (and probably never will again) someone solve a Rubik’s Cube as well as Karel, and on his wedding day he was in the pinnacle of his Rubik’s cube solving career, meanwhile Laura was preparing for her wedding day while joined by her family & team of amazing bridesmaids, and also her Grandma on Skype from the UK.
Their wedding reception at Newbery Lodge followed a lovely British theme and was garnished by the most amazing words of support and advice by friends and family.

Here’s what Karel & Laura had to say after watching this wedding film:
“We’ve seen the video now, and just wow! We were simply amazed at how well you managed to capture everything we wanted to express on our wedding day. It was hard to fully appreciate the day at the time, since we were a bit worried about how everything would turn out. It’s awesome to have a video like this so we can look back and remember the day without the tension, and show it to people who couldn’t make it. The title is quite accurate as Karel does tend to get obsessed with things (the Rubik’s cube being a prime example), and we were trying to work out where you’d got it from. It makes sense now that it’s from Tom’s speech! We are so glad we decided to get the wedding filmed, and we’re sure it’ll be something we watch in 10, 20 and 50 years time  🙂” – Laura & Karel

Leith & Lucy were wed at Otahuna Lodge in a beautiful ceremony that so eloquently described how they fell in love and where this journey has taken them. Otahuna served as the most spectacular backdrop as celebrant John Sellwood spoke tremendous words right from the heart.

As Lucy walked down the lawn and over the bridges at Otahuna towards her smiling groom, guests were encouraged to bless and warm the wedding rings while entertainer Melanie Poppins delighted all the children with her magic, singing and ukelele playing.

Wedding planner Emma Newman kept everything running perfectly throughout the day, as we were surrounded by incredible floral arrangements and bouquets, a spectacular wedding cake and a champagne waterfall in the foyer. We concluded the evening with Lucy and Leith’s extremely polished first dance, a fitting end to an amazing day.

 

From Lucy : “The video is just amazing, thank you so much!! I definitely shed a tear on viewing and I’m pretty sure I saw Leith welling up too.”
