The Wellington Wedding Show

2010-04-17T18:36:00.003+12:00

It's that time of year again when The Wellington Wedding Show opens its doors to many brides and grooms who travel from all over New Zealand to get ideas and contacts for their wedding planning. I can't tell you how much this event helped us plan our wedding, as it gives you access to so many vendors all in one place, at one time.

This will be our 5th year attending The Wellington Wedding Show and we can't wait to see you there! You will be able to see some of our latest wedding videos and we will also reveal our new packages. Make sure you stop by our stall and say hi, we'd love to chat to you about your day. It's only on for 1 day, Sunday 2nd May, so make sure you get there early to make the most of the day (and beat the crowds!)

Amanda & Nathan - Their Winning Love Story

2010-03-14T16:05:00.004+13:00

A BIG Congratulations to Amanda & Nathan who won our Love Story Competition last year. As Amanda put it, their story has the makings of a Rom-Com Movie: Boy & Girl grow up living next door to each other, 1 family moves away, then years later they meet up again when studying at University.... and the rest is history.

It was a lot of fun filming this with Amanda & Nathan, they are such a fun couple and you can really see that their relationship is built on the foundation of a strong friendship. It was also great that we could incorporate some "old movie" footage of them growing up. They were married yesterday and played this video at their reception as a surprise to their guests. Now we finally get to reveal it to you!

If you are interested in having a Love Story video made for your upcoming wedding, contact us today!

Kate & Stephen - Wedding Highlights

2010-03-08T09:32:00.004+13:00

Kate & Stephen have been together for over 7 years and both their families agreed in their speeches it was about time they got married! On 2nd January 2010 their long awaited day finally happened.

As Kate got ready at the house, squeals of excitement came from her mother and the bridesmaids as each new person arrived at the house. And when Kate's Mother saw Kate in her wedding dress, her eyes welled up with tears as her only daughter was getting married.

Their ceremony was held at St Mary of the Angels, and included a special photo slideshow showing where they had come from to get to where they are today. The whole day was very relaxed and a lot of fun.

At the reception at Shed 5 on Queens Wharf, Kate & Stephen's speeches poignantly declared their love for each other. To finish off the night a live band played many party favourites and guests had a great time singing loudly and dancing about the room.

We'd like to congratulate Kate & Stephen on their marriage and wish them all the best for their lifetime together. Here is the highlights of their wedding day.

A Special Anniversary Letter

2010-02-23T02:32:00.003+13:00

We get a lot of emails from our brides and grooms thanking us for making a great video of their wedding day that they will treasure for a lifetime. Often we are providing living memories, or even helping them experience parts of their day they weren't there for or didn't see happen. But an email I received this week from Meredith & Scott on their 1 year anniversary, really takes the cake and I had to share it with you:

It's taken me a year to write this, but believe me when I tell you that I've tried to write to you a dozen times. It has been too hard to express how I feel about what you and your team created for us. I owe you this after everything you did for us.

I watch our highlights video daily, sometimes up to 3 times daily, online and on our tv at home. You blew me away with how you captured the dramatic intense scenery and wonderful personal moments of our day. So many friends have said after watching the highlights video (which we put on facebook and emailed to everyone), that it was like watching the trailer to the most romantic movie on the big screen. Everyone was in tears, but I think that also has to do with your wonderful choice in music since we had such a hard time selecting the right tunes. You really did surpass yourselves with the music you chose for our helicopter entry on the highlights video, it really added to an already dramatic scene. well done.

Crystal, I can't thank you and your team enough for the effort and time you put in for us to make the perfect video, you all went out of your way, beyond your normal duties to create the most magical video I think any bride could ask for. I feel that I am in debt to you, what you did for us was priceless. Thank you for everything, love meredith xxx

Our team would like to thank Meredith for her lovely words and for reminding us of exactly why we love what we do. To celebrate their 1 year anniversary, here is their wedding day highlights:

Olivia & Jim - Wedding Recap

2010-01-30T13:43:00.004+13:00

Olivia & Jim celebrated New Years Eve 2009 in style by coming a long way from Tipperary Ireland to get married in their home town of Kapiti. Their ceremony was held at St Alban's Anglican Church in Pauatahanui and their reception was at the Kapiti Boating Club. They were such a lovely couple and made the most of their day, having as much fun as possible and taking it all in.

As you can see from their wedding day recap below, the weather stayed lovely and they got some gorgeous photos taken on the Paekakariki Hill and at the Paraparaumu Beach. This was our first time working with photographer Luke Pilkinton-Ching of Vision Photography, and he did a fantastic job and was a joy to work with.

A few days later they flew back to Ireland (with a bit of a honeymoon stopover on the way) where they had a second wedding, and they played this recap of the day in Wellington to all their Irish friends. We'd like to wish Olivia & Jim all the best for their future together and thank them for allowing us to share New Years Eve with them.

Jennie & Dermot - Wedding Recap

2010-01-26T21:36:00.006+13:00

Jennie & Dermot were married on Saturday 21st November 2009. Despite the weather their day was never gloomy - you could tell they are a couple very much in love and very excited to be getting married. The day was also brightened by the cheerful and "bright" bridal party.

Their ceremony was held in St Mary of the Angels Church followed by the Reception at D4 On Featherston, the bar & restaurant they own. The guests filled the room and the evening was full of song and dance, both Maori & Irish.

It was great to share another wedding with Paul Michaels' Photography, and some of their stunning photographs are below. We'd like to thank Jennie & Dermot for inviting us to share this emotional and exciting day with them, and wish them all the best for their future together. We hope you enjoy this recap of their wedding day.

Wedding Music Selections - Our 2010 List!

2010-01-16T14:11:00.003+13:00

Choosing the music for your wedding day and your wedding video is always difficult, and many of our couples ask us for help or suggestions. That's why we put together this song list which contains over 350 songs that are recommended by us and by our previous wedding couples. Hopefully this list will give you some ideas or help you think of other songs you would like.

The music you choose for your wedding DVD will become the "soundtrack" for your day. The style of music you choose is completely up to you, and should reflect the two of you. The songs don't have to be love songs, and they don't have to be slow. We recommend a mixture of slow, medium and upbeat tempos. If you really can't decide, let us choose the music we think suits your video the best.

View our updated song list by clicking the link in the right hand column, or the title of this post. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask.

"If music be the food of love, play on."

AMANDA & NATHAN

Our love story has the makings of a (somewhat cheesy) Rom-Com.

As young kids, boy and girl live next door in a small-town suburb. Their parents become friends. One family moves away but the children must endure regular visits to the others house. The rebellious redhead prefers to play Playstation than talk to girl. The girl is always studying. Girl moves to Wellington for university and the only person she knows there is a certain boy from her childhood. They meet up. At our wedding, we will have been together five years.

And cue the happy ending.

FIONA & MICHAEL

We first met in Canada in 2002. We had both booked impulsive trips on an adventure travel bus through the Rockies.

Michael had a ticket for the Wales Vs All Blacks test in Cardiff a few weeks after our trip. I was living in Cardiff and said he could crash at my house for the weekend - he stayed for 6 months!

Unbeknown to us, we had both lived in London a street apart from each other 3 years earlier. Im sure his drunken behaviour would have terrorised me on the night bus and now I find myself about to marry him!

PAYAL & GAVIN

It was my 24th birthday. When I got to Gav’s place, Gav instructed me to go upstairs to the living room and that he would come up shortly. I asked why but he just firmly re-instructed me to go upstairs, so I did.

At the top of the stairs was a little note that read "follow the petals". A trail of red rose petals began at the note and led to the living room. In the middle of the room was a heart of petals and inside was a long beautiful letter from Gav saying how much he loved me and how he wanted to be with me for the rest of his life.

At the end of the note were the words "please turn around", down on one knee, Gav held a ring out...he asked me to marry him, of course the answer was yes.

VICTORIA & MICHAEL

The Proposal.

A beautiful summers day, 31/01/2009, saw me eating brunch at the waterfront with a friend, who for weeks before had insisted we get together. While at brunch she surprised me with a helicopter ride that she had won via her work (travel agent) and wanted to share with me as a belated birthday gift.

On the helicopter I was shown various sights of wellington and told we would land to view Seals out past Red Rocks. To my complete surprise when we landed it wasnt Seals I saw, but Michael, my boyfriend of 6 years, ring in hand.

Jo & Robin - Wedding Recap

2009-08-20T10:40:00.003+12:00

Jo and Robin were married on 25th April 2009 at The Woolshed in Ohariu Valley. Theirs was a really special wedding, full of elegance and simplicity.

Jo wore a gorgeous white with pink Jane Yeh gown, it is hand dyed silk chiffon. They are both a bit "car mad" so they loved being able to include their 2 mustangs in the day, and they certainly made for a spectacular arrival. It was also very special for Jo & Robin that their children were involved in their Bridal Party.

Jo & Robin got together because of their love of showing and breeding German Shepherds, so it was also great to have their German Shepherd Eros with them in their wedding photos. He only arrived from Germany just before Christmas. They even had a bride and groom German Shepherd on top of their wedding cake!

Congratulations Jo & Robin, we wish you all the best for your future, and would like to thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day. We hope you enjoy this recap of the wedding day.

Kylie & Andy - Wedding Highlights

2009-07-15T11:20:00.006+12:00

It's not often you can plan a beach wedding in Wellington as our weather is so unreliable! But Kylie & Andy took the risk and it paid off. They had a beautiful ceremony on Petone Beach on Saturday 14th March, followed by drinks and photos also on the beach. Thankfully the weather was great, just a little windy - but it wouldn't be Wellington without the wind! Their reception was held at the Jetty Cafe on The Esplanade, and the evening was filled with fun and laughter.

Arriving in style - Mustangs and a Kombie - the day was as fun, laid-back and carefree as Kylie & Andy. They are such a great couple and our team really enjoyed spending the day with them. We'd like to thank Kylie & Andy for letting us be a part of their special day. We hope you enjoy watching their highlights below.

Meredith & Scott - Wedding Highlights

2009-06-14T12:35:00.005+12:00

Meredith & Scott were married on Friday 20th February 2009 at Boomrock - one of my favourite Wellington venues as the views are just stunning! Thankfully the weather stayed clear for Meredith's dramatic helicopter arrival and their outdoor ceremony. The guests had a great time enjoying the many activities Boomrock has to offer, before heading inside for the remainder of the evening.

This is a cinematic highlights of their wedding day narrated mainly by the Best Man Philip, who made a fantastic speech. As Scott says, this is the "completion of our family unit" - their love for each other and their children was evident throughout the day.

We'd like to thank Meredith & Scott for asking us to share this day with them, and also a big thank you to Justine at Boomrock for her wonderful hospitality. We hope you enjoy the highlights of their beautiful wedding.

Following the ceremony the guests were driven to Boomrock, where the bridal party later joined them - with a stunning arrival by helicopter.

Wellington put on beautiful weather for the day, and the views from Boomrock were absolutely breathtaking (see photos below from Inspire Photography).

It was a fantastic evening that many will remember for a very long time. We'd like to thank Jemma and Michael for including us in this memorable occassion.

We received lots of great feedback about the wedding video trailer we posted recently for Nina and Adam, and it is with great anticipation that we can now share with you their Wedding Recap.

Nina & Adam were married in the Wairarapa on 28th February 2009. Unfortunately the bad weather meant they had to move their planned outdoor ceremony indoors, and their photoshoot was held in covered locations - thank goodness for wet weather plans! But it all turned out wonderfully and the evening was filled with many meaningful speeches. Their first dance to ACDC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" was certainly a great treat for the guests.

We would like to thank Nina and Adam for allowing us to share their special day with them. We hope you enjoy this short recap of the day.

Irina says: "We were relieved that after four weeks of practice the dance came together without any glitches- Especially that Alan didn't drop me.

After 18 months of planning, everything came together perfectly for our wedding day. Even the tropical cyclone the day before was lifted and we were treated to wonderful weather. Thank you to everyone for making it such a special day. We will truly remember it for the rest of our lives."

Rob Driessen Photography www.rdphotography.co.nz

If you haven't decided whether to attend, I thoroughly recommend it! Even if you've planned a lot of the aspects of your day already, there may be things you find that you'd forgotten about, or ideas for something new to include.

It's such a great way to see all the different wedding services directly, all in one place, and to give you lots of ideas! I recommend coming on Saturday evening because on Sunday it can get very busy - and remember to allow yourself a couple of hours to have a good look at everything.

We get a lot of our bookings at the Wedding Show, so if you are still considering having us as your videographers for your upcoming wedding, you will need to book soon to secure your wedding date.

Kiri & Cameron - Wedding Recap

2009-04-04T19:54:00.009+13:00

Kiri & Cameron were married on 31st January 2009. Their ceremony was held at St Gerard's Monastery in Mount Victoria, which is a well-known church for it's prominent place in the Wellington landscape. Their reception was held at The Boat Shed on Wellington Waterfront.

Wellington put on beautiful weather for Kiri & Cameron, and it was a hot day for their photoshoot. Photographers Chris McCarthy and Melanie Dixon of Wellington Photographers worked hard and fast to get lots of stunning pictures throughout the day. While the bridal party were on their photoshoot, we filmed the guests enjoying the sun at The Boat Shed. Chris managed to take this great photo (left) of one of our videographers Fran, and caught her slightly off-guard! You can view the other photos Chris & Melanie took of Kiri and Cameron here.

We'd like to thank Kiri and Cameron for asking us to share this special day with them. This is a recap of their wedding day, to the 1950's jazz song by Nina Simone "My Baby Just Cares For Me." We hope you like it!

Milana and Jared were married on 7th February at The Boat Shed in Wellington. Luckily Wellington turned on beautiful weather, and we all know how gorgeous Wellington is on a good day. Their outdoor ceremony at The Boat Shed was perfect with no wind, and that stunning Wellington Harbour as a back drop. It was an emotional day filled with love, tears of joy, laughter and fun. Being Rugby Sevens weekend, they met a few interesting characters during their photoshoot, which just added to the fun and laidback atmosphere.

Chloe & Daniel - Wedding Recap

2009-03-17T14:13:00.010+13:00

Chloe & Daniel were married on Friday 16th January 2009 at Erskine in Island Bay. The day was relaxed and fun, yet elegant and romantic. The true love between Chloe & Daniel was evident throughout the day.

At the reception Chloe & Daniel performed "Fire and Ice" by Ben Harper, and this is what we've used for this Wedding Recap. Chloe explains the significance of this song to them:

"It was a song I put on an album I sent to Daniel when he was in Switzerland for the summer very early in our relationship, and has become one of our favourite songs. We loved the words, and thought they would be perfect to include in the wedding day."

This was our first time working with photographer Simeon Patience. Although it was quite windy, he got some great photos at Island Bay. Below are a few of his stunning photographs from the day.

Congratulations Chloe & Daniel and thanks for letting us be a part of your day.
