As our Groom Sean nervously pauses on the gravel shores of the Waimakariri River, he can hear the wind whistling through the the trees, the distant hum of cars crossing the bridge, and the gentle footsteps of his bride-to-be Naomi as she draws closer for their first look.

Here’s what Naomi & Sean had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Thank you for all the hard work you and your team went into to produce us a great video. We really enjoyed working with you on the day; you made us feel very relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.” – Sean & Naomi

Set at the stunning Select Braemer Lodge & Spa, Patrick & Nicola’s wedding day was a magical occasion joining two great people and two amazing families together. An alluring outdoor ceremony on the lawn followed by drinks and canapés in the afternoon sun created a wonderful atmosphere before our wedding guests were treated to a succulent meal with wonderful speeches in the dining hall and Patrick & Nicola danced the night away under the stars.

Here’s what Nicola & Patrick had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “We are so incredibility happy with the photos and video, tears and laughter were shared throughout. Lovelight is such a professional company and we are so pleased you shared our big day with us.” – Patrick & Nicola

From the first moment we met Laura and then shook hands with Andrew, we knew these 2 were meant to be together… And when the big day finally arrived we were there to capture it.

Here’s what Andrew & Laura had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “We absolutely love it! You captured the day so beautifully down to every last detail! It’s the small moments that you forget in the rush of the day that make it such a special memory when you are watching it. We are so grateful to the whole team in not only the beginning of our legacy, but also for being so wonderful and easy to work with. It felt like you were guests and we had so much fun with you. Thank you so so much!” – Laura & Andrew

Sophie & Jackson’s mid winter wedding was a stunner! When Sophie told us that she’d managed to arrange access to Cunningham House (the large greenhouse in the botanic gardens) we knew we were in for a treat. From the start of the day at Sophie’s house, till the end of the night when DJ Dale was pumping out the 80’s classics, everything was perfect.

Here’s what Sophie & Jackson had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “This is freaking epic! We love that it captured the essence of the day so perfectly! So awesome to bring back all the emotions of the day in such an epic video! Thank you so much for your professionalism, organisation, and talent to make our day so great!” –  Mr & Mrs Hagen

Joel & Sarah met on the rugby field in another continent, before flying across the world to get engaged on Sumner beach, which is where they now call home. Their wedding day was a stunner. A mid-winter wedding in Christchurch could potentially give you anything from icy cold antarctic winds, horizontal rain, or even snow, but Tai Tapu turned on a stunning blue-bird day. We took the opportunity and went adventuring Joel & Sarah who might possibly be the fittest bride & groom we’ve ever had the opportunity to capture.

Here’s what Joel & Sarah had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Wow! The video is absolutely incredible, we love it! The whole team was so professional and fun to have around on the day- even though we barely noticed you. Thanks for capturing our adventurous streak and being up for the challenge 🙂 we love you guys, you’re amazing. ” – Sarah & Joel
