In this issue’s flora and photography art collaboration, Together Journal partners with Sue Cameron of Floral Stylist Co., one of the most sought-after florists in Aotearoa.


Shannon + Alex by Josiah Nevell

As Alex is such a jokester it took a good 10 minutes and an insistence that he get down on one knee to prove the proposal was real. We travelled around the South Island that summer keeping the engagement to ourselves which was quite a special thing to do. It allowed us time to honour … Read more


Julia + Cam by Antonova  Kseniya

 Julia —— We’re actually both wedding photographers. Before we met, we both had photography backgrounds and together have created HAUTE Weddings, our wedding photo and video company. We love that our job gives us the flexibility to be able to do more of the things we love: travelling, fashion, exploring new business ideas, taking photos, … Read more


Huy + Sam by Jonny Scott

Abundant textural foliage, florals and plants that tied in with the landscape was brought into the clear marquee and blended in with a crisp white base accented with modern and masculine elements in the tablescape and furniture selections. If there is one way to describe it, it was quintessentially “Huy and Sam”.


Holleigh + Dylan by David Le

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love… Dylan and I both own a couple of business together so alongside running those we also work on the family farm together. Every day is completely different and never the same which is amazing!


Jemma + Liam by Keryn Sweeny

“It ended up raining not long before the ceremony was about to start and everyone had to be ushered inside the marquee, where the ceremony took place on the dance floor. It wasn’t part of the original plan but I am glad we had the chequered dance floor as it came out so cool in … Read more


Adrian + Joanne by Lei Lei Clavey

Our vision for the wedding was architectural, minimal, elegant, classy and modern. We thought it’d be perfect to host a tea ceremony at our home in Richmond. That meant we could capture some special portraits in our beautiful home as well as around the neighbourhood we love.


Harriet + Hugo by The Unbridled

Hugo offered to take a photo of me and told me to walk towards the sea with my back turned to him. I obliged and set off into the waves. Luckily I was wearing wellies but when I got ankle-deep in the water, I turned around to see if he’d got the shot yet, and … Read more


Emma + Chase by Nicole Fladebo

I was inspired by Meg’s wedding in Little Women. The ladies arranged flowers the morning of, while the guys played beach volleyball. Since we were in my hometown and surrounded by friends with various skills, it truly felt like we had a village behind us, using their unique talents to pull together each element of … Read more


Nicole + Daniel by Kate Alexandra Photography

I just remember looking at Rebecca, our celebrant, pleading with my eyes for her to speed things along! Luckily, just as we were about to postpone the family photos and quickly herd everyone back onto the bus to escape for the Packing Shed, the storm changed course and headed back into the hills. Someone was … Read more


Miro + MacKenzie by Ash Muir

Ultimately, we wanted our wedding to feel like us, not contrived or influenced by what a wedding ‘should’ be. It’s easy to see weddings on Instagram and think that you need to tick every box and have every single detail perfect to make it a special day, but that’s just not true!


Kate and Martin by Victoria Somerset-How Photography

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love… We are based in London and met here 10 years ago. Kate is a teacher and Martin is a trader. We spend as much time as we can travelling, mainly to escape the house we have been renovating for the past 5 years… … Read more
