Matt & Steph
GARDEN WEDDING
23 JANUARY 2021 - BRAMBLE GROVE, KAIAPOI
Matt and Steph were married at the lovely Bramble Grove in Kaiapoi. I was so excited to finally get a chance to visit and I was not disappointed! The intimate backyard setting complete with an outdoor bar had a relaxed atmosphere that the guests absolutely loved.
One of my favourite parts of Matt and Steph’s ceremony was chatting with Matt and his groomsmen beforehand… hearing how the morning had been, doing a final run-through of the script, and calming those pre-ceremony nerves. I love it when a groom acknowledges and allows himself to express his emotions in the lead up to one of the most significant experiences he is ever going to share with his future partner. And who could blame him for being completely overwhelmed with love? Steph was glowing… honestly, the only word I can use is ‘radiant.’ Her smile throughout the day was simply the best and Mel from Mel’s Moments captured her perfectly. The photos speak for themselves.
“Steph, as I stand here with you today, I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I want nothing more than to share my future with you…”
“Matt, you are everything that I could ever dream of in a man. You are my lover, my best friend, my protector, my soulmate, and my home…”
A few other highlights…
The most gorgeous wee flower girl and ringbearers - such a great way to include children in their special day!
Finally meeting Mel. I was so grateful that she looked after me in the heat - what an absolute gem.
One of the guests approaching me after the ceremony and saying how much he had enjoyed it. He explained that he struggles with his hearing but had found my delivery clear and easy to understand. I was touched that he took the time to come and chat - it really meant a lot getting positive feedback.
Thank you both so much for sharing your special day with me xxx it was magical.

“Vic, you were amazing. We really couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Thank you sooo much for making the process very easy and answering all of our emails and questions. Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into making our day perfect. We didn’t have to worry about a thing - you had everything covered.”

After 15 years and two beautiful children together, Corey and Sarah were stoked to finally become Mr and Mrs Baker! They were married on the manicured lawn at Larcomb Vineyard, with a rustic red barn as the backdrop to their ceremony. I loved the entrance of the bridal party, lead by the cutest little Flower Girl and Page Boys you ever did see.
We acknowledged special family members and friends who are no longer with us, and those unable to travel due to Covid restrictions. Despite the rain, the smiles were bright - especially during Corey’s cheeky vows! And… instead of traditional confetti, the guests blew bubbles over the newly married couple as they walked down the aisle. Perfection!
“Sarah, my best friend, my love. You are the lucky one that gets to grow old with me… After being together for almost 15 years now, you have helped to shape me into the man I have become, and I am very grateful to have you by my side. With your kind heart, beautiful eyes and nice arse... I couldn’t ask for more!”
“Always remember I'd choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality… I'd find you and I’d choose you.”
One of the coolest things about Larcomb Vineyard is that there are plenty of different locations to take portraits. The contrasting colours of the bright red shed with the deep greenery of the forestry made for beautiful photos, and Charmayne from Whimsical Wedding Photography did an amazing job capturing this badass crew!
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Baker! #finally
