Sarah and Kevin were married on a beautiful sunny Wellington day – what seemed like ‘the start’ of summer for most Wellingtonian’s (every Saturday leading up to this particular weekend had been horrible!).

Under the beautiful warmth of the midday sun, Sarah and Kevin met at the Botanic Gardens for their first viewing. I love this new tradition – the first viewing has something special, without the pressure of the ceremony on both shoulders.

Obviously the formal photoshoot was also had at this time, so we ran amok through the gardens for suitable images. We had plenty of fun finding bridges, steps, pagodas and trees to stand on, under and alongside for some fun snaps.

Moving to Sacred Heart Cathedral in Thorndon, the ceremony was short and sweet! A few beautiful readings and the exchange of vows and rings, then Sarah and Kevin had the rest of the evening to spend with their guests at a funky little cafe nestled beside the rose garden of the Botanic Gardens, aptly title Picnic.

As the sun set over the gardens, the guests moved inside, topped up their glasses and were entertained by some masterful speakers. The floor was cleared, the bride and groom danced to their favourite track, and then the party really kicked in!
