Tarryn & Dylan’s rock ‘n’ roll retro wedding

This couple had a 2013 wedding date, but after nine years of dating, they said to hell with waiting, let’s get hitched! Three months later they had booked a cool vintage-style restaurant and their nearest and dearest watched them get married in a most excellent retro rock ‘n’ roll fashion. They may not have remembered to get themselves fed on the day, but they did not forget to bring the style!

Gillian & Mark’s offbeat lite transatlantic wedding

This wedding packs a visual punch with a gorgeous cathedral in Scotland, awesome kilts, and most amazing sunny day for the UK. The handmade dress (made by the bride’s mother!) is a testament to craftsmanship. Oh, and the gorgeous art deco-inspired cake, and unexpected wedding crashers are worth a look too!

Anne-Louise & Jon’s casually elegant party with bubbles and a tango

They may not be professional tango dancers or always remember to plug in the bubble machine, but these two know how to throw a party in the spirit of their house-warming parties of the past. After ten years together, they really didn’t know how much two years of planning would strengthen their relationship, but we’re very glad it did.

Simone & Dave’s chill summer picnic wedding

This wedding was planned while the couple was traveling between the UK, New Zealand, and Belfast, which makes it a beacon of logistic magic. But in the end they managed to combine some geeky loves with some gorgeous summer New Zealand weather for a picnic wedding to remember.
