This month we have the beautiful wedding of Lisa and Logan. As you will see from the lovely photos (by Jessica Photography), they incorporated a 1920’s twist to their wedding day, including a vintage style lolly buffet, a photo table/area with an old suitcase bearing 1920’s props and even vintage looking disposable cameras for guests to take pics. You can read more about Lisa and Logan’s wedding at www.jessicaphotography.co.nz
