From a little farm nestled in the Leslie Hills came one of the sweetest couple’s I’ve ever met. Emily & Chris are meant to be together and their wedding day was a celebration of two amazing families coming together and celebrating with them.

Larnie was born and raised in Christchurch and our groom Gilles was born in France. After a chance meeting in a taxi in Singapore, cupids arrows were flying and shortly after engagement bells were ringing. Gilles fell in love with the French settlement of Akaroa, and when they visited Mt Vernon lodge they knew they had found the perfect setting to the wedding day of their dreams. With the blending of two families came the fusing together of two cultures. The French really know how to party!

We spent the day absolutely swept away by the love Gilles and Larnie shared, and their amazing friends and family that travelled halfway across the world to share this special day with them.

Here’s what Larnie & Gilles had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “We just watched the movie. It was amazing!!! You did an stunning job capturing the atmosphere and the love.
We are super happy with the results and couldn’t be happier. That was so nice to live our special day once again. ” – Gilles & Larnie

Mark & Steph’s wedding day was superb! An outdoor ceremony on the lawn at Riccarton house & Bush was followed by a stroll down the river with the bridal party while the guests were serenaded by guitar and delicious food in the sun. We were then treated to a fantastic reception in a marquee and a dance-floor that kept pumping all night long.

Mark has an awesome sense of humour and was delivering numerous gifts accompanied by cards with great dad-jokes to his bride-to-be throughout the wedding day. He really does care for her and that was plain to see for all the wedding guests.

It was such a pleasure to be able to create this film for the new Mr & Mrs Ling.

Here’s what Mark & Steph had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Hey Craig, It’s amazing, had tears in my eye watching it! Thank you so much, it’s perfect! Steph 🙂 ” – Steph
