Surrounded by love, the cutest little family members, and a distant rooster that kept crow-ing, Jamie & Callum tied the knot in the most epic of locations – The Folly at Bangor Farm.

Here’s what Jamie & Callum had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “The video looks great and we are very happy with it. Jamie and I are both stoked and I personally want to have another wedding day like that hahahaha…” – Callum & Jamie

Before 2020 got crazy with it’s lockdowns and restrictions, it was filled with love, laughter and weirdness* as family and friends from around the globe descended upon Akaroa to watch Dean & Steph ‘wiggle’ together.

(* their words, not mine)

Here’s what Dean & Steph had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Craig – that is incredible!!! We just watched it and it was just what we needed after another long lockdown working-from-home day. Now we’re bubbling over with happiness remembering the day! Literally the first things we said to each other after watching were…

Dean: “That was awesome!”
Steph: “That made me cry…but in a good way!“.

We are so wrapped! We honestly couldn’t be happier. You’ve really captured our day. It is an amazing video – so professional, yet also so personal and heartwarming. We can’t thank you enough for creating such a beautiful way for us to relive it all.” – Dean & Steph

Harry & Vicky’s love story started in another continent – more than a decade ago, but lasted only briefly before Harry needed to head home. After putting that love on hold, Vicky took a huge plunge and travelled half way around the world to Dunsandal, Canterbury to see what might happen, 6 years after they first met. Needless to say, that courageous step was a great decision. Skip forward to today and Cossars Wineshed in Tai Tapu was the perfect place to bring family & friends from all around the globe together, to watch these guys get hitched, and watch their beautiful dog Max steal the show.

Here’s what Vicky & Harry had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Oh my gosh its incredible. We’ve just watched it through and cried and laughed and cried again! Thank you a million times. All those gorgeous memories have come flooding back 😁 harry says thank you for making his lawn (and his wife) look lovely 😂” – Vicky & Harry
