Renée and Rami are based on the other side of the world, Abu Dhabi to be exact, and chose one of New Zealand’s most romantic locations for their destination wedding - Waiheke Island. From the very start there was a feeling of magic and fun with their planning, including the couple’s very creative invitations (snapshots above). April arrived, and guests from all over the world began their journey to join in on the festivities- in fact it was noted in the speeches that about 20 different countries were represented. (These guys are serious jetsetters!).
All gathered together at Cable Bay to share in what was a truly spectacular occasion. Emma Hughes has a beautiful way of capturing the warmth and special moments through her photos, and this was no exception. Today I’ve selected some of her images that focus on the style and ambience created at Cable Bay. This was a wonderful wedding to be a part of and I am such a fan of those who dare to be different and really embrace their own style and personality for their wedding day. Enjoy!


Bringing Renée and Rami’s style and vision to life was made even more enjoyable by their desire for something a little fun! Yes, that is a scrabble cake! Artfully designed and created by Rebecca atThe Cake Parlour. The vibrancy of colour with warm apricots, rich gold's and Renee's favourite colour, persimmon orange, worked so well at this venue. An abundance of fairy lights were used throughout, enhancing the reception, entrance area and evening entertainment. We selected champagne satin for the tables and Wildflower focused on height for the reception flowers, with beautiful orange Singapore Orchids.

This was exactly what turned out for our lovely couple that enjoyed their March wedding at Stonyridge Vineyard. Based in Sydney, Kelly and Rob knew they wanted a relaxed and enjoyable occasion, with their outdoor ceremony set in the olive grove and reception at the Stonyridge restaurant. The venue was perfect, with no shortages of stunning views and beautifully captured by
