Nikita + Matt by Stephan & Nakita

Nikita — I’m a film/commercial producer. Matt owns and runs Shared Space. Our family includes our little boy Arthur and our miniature dachshund, Archie. We met on a blind date in 2014, which was a bit comical as neither of us had been on a blind date before. We ran into a few of Matt’s … Read more

Jack + Jucinta by Ali Bailey

Jack — Jucinta is a flame that cannot be put out. A wildfire, if you like. The three times we met before we got together proved how small the world can be and not to take any moment for granted, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

THEODORE Comes to New Zealand

This week we have had the pleasure of reviewing THEODORE, a luxury menswear brand that has invested significantly in the development of its contactless body measurement technology.

Megan + Matt by Soph and Si from Bayly & Moore

Matt is a farmer and I’m an environmental planner. We both grew up in rural communities so it’s a strong part of our identities. We live on Matt’s family farm, which is almost 100 years old, with great friends and neighbours close by.

Stacey + Will by Amanda Thomas

Stacey: I’m a marketing manager for a property company and Will is in finance. We live and work in central Auckland and have been together for over 13 years. 

James + Janel by Forged in the North

Our wedding ended up being all the things we hadn’t originally wanted – it was tiny, it was DIY, it was on a holiday weekend, and we even asked friends to bring their own beer.

Hannah + James by Hollow & Co

In keeping with Māori tradition, we gifted each of the groomsmen a pounamu (greenstone) ring which we had blessed. James wore a beautiful pounamu around his neck, which was given to him by his 91-year-old koro (grandfather), who blessed our wedding rings before we put them on.

Thomas + Danielle by Damien Milan

Thomas: We were travelling across Europe visiting family when I proposed. We were in Paris and, to Danielle’s dismay, I asked her to pose yet again for another #FollowMeTo photograph in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Layne + Nicole by Samantha Simone

Wanting to have a kick-ass wedding on a budget meant doing a lot of the work ourselves, but we did a good job. Layne and I were able to source second-hand candles, vases and new black linen napkins on Facebook Marketplace.
