WEDDING
Chloe & Aaron Baker Venue: Copthorne Waitangi | Date: March 14, 2020 Photographer: Haley Adele Photography “Our day was absolutely perfect. It was so special sharing the day with our three children. Also, we now feel so lucky to have had our special day as, if it were the weekend after, it would not have been, due to Covid!”

You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry someone you cannot live without.
“We were to get married on March 28, 2020. We had family (mum, stepdad and aunty) rush over to New Zealand from Australia due to the borders closing. A week before we were due to get married our family found out they had to return home three days before our wedding. Stressed out having just returned from camp in the middle of the bush, we had two days to bring our wedding forward a week to the Sunday. Our venue let us use their lawn, our celebrant ended up sick the night before so had to ask a friend and we had our cake and mini reception at the Sawmill Cafe with 25 of our closest family members and friends, including our Australian family who made it in time. We have rebooked our proper wedding next year in December. Hopefully the borders open so the rest of our Australian family, including our dads and brother and sister, can make it.”
Claire & Darren Pace Venue: Tuscany, Italy Photographer: Adrian Lee “Claire and I got married in a little village called Certaldo Alto in Tuscany, Italy. You had to get to the village by a cable car. The ceremony was a civil one and was held in the medieval town hall. After the ceremony we treated all of our guests to Gelato in the town square. The reception was held in a private castle overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills.” Claire and Darren are also featured on this month's Savvy front
Laura & Zippy Stanners Venue: Barge Park, Whangarei | Date: April 6, 2019 Photographer: Shelley Buckton “We planned our wedding over months and it was everything we dreamed of and more. Our day was filled with so much laughter and happiness. We wanted our day to be about celebrating our love and being surrounded by all the people closest to us. For us, this meant lots of great food, live music and lots of dancing! We really appreciated all of the help that our friends and family put into the day to make it the best day of our lives.”
