This wedding takes place at St James B&B in Christchurch… which is perfect. Because that’s where Nik & Cassandra met for the very first time.

And when you are marrying your true love, surrounded by your family & friends at the place you first met, then you have already started the journey of living happily ever after.

Here’s what Nik & Cassandra had to say about their wedding video:
“THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We sat down last night and watched everything and I couldn’t stop the happy tears!
Everything on the video that was captured is perfect, I can not rave about it enough!!

We are over the moon, can’t believe we have this amazing video to show everyone and one day our children can see it hehehee
I’m spreading the word, everyone getting married MUST have you video 🙂

Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!”
– Nik & Cassandra

Alice & Brad chose to use their wedding day to express their love and devotion for each other, for their friends, their parents, and for their grandparents…. and when Alice said she had found a DVD of her Grandparents getting married in Morrinsville in 1952, we knew we wanted somehow to incorporate it in our same day edit.

From an early morning moment in Akaroa where Brad sees his bride for the first time, to a beautifully themed Ice cream parlour at their wedding reception, here is Alice & Brad’s wedding day. This same day edit wedding film played at Alice and Brad’s wedding reception.

Here is what Alice & Brad had to say about their film :
“Again, Craig we just want to say thank you for such a special video. Although we were deeply involved in our day, we didn’t miss noticing how hard you and the guys were working to get that together for us. My Grandparents were nervous about coming down for the Wedding as they hadn’t travelled in about 10 years, but you made them feel so special and involved with using their video. It will always mean so much to us.

I showed the camera guys at TV3 the video this morning too and they were so impressed with it. So technical and well shot. You guys rule! We will love you forever for such an awesome reminder of our day and for going above and beyond! Thank you a million times over xxx”

When Woody looked over at his wife during his reception speech and said “You are the Peppercorn sauce to my T-Bone steak” it confirmed what we already knew – that this was no ordinary wedding day. From the way Jess and her bridesmaids danced up the aisle to the way they laid flowers together as a family on the grave of their family dog, this wedding was very special. Here’s our same day edit we worked on throughout the day and showed at the reception…

Here’s what Jess & Woody had to say about their same day edit
“Hi Craig
I cant thank you and your team enough for the incredible job you did at our wedding! You are all so personable and fun, and you added another fantastic dimension to our day, everyone is raving about the two craig’s (you and the vicar!)

The same day edit blew our minds – we never expected anything like that, the music was so perfect for it and even though we have watched it over and over and over we still get goose bumps and “well up” when we see it. If that’s what you can produce in a few hours, we cant wait to see the whole DVD.

You worked so well with Joe as well, it was just easy.
Thanks so much, your amazing!

Jess and Woody x”

“Sebacey” – it’s a cute name given by friends to a cute couple… just like “Brangelina” or “Bennifer”. And when they got married they got cuter… and more sentimental… Like how Stacey wore her mum’s wedding dress, or how Seb started to choke up during the wedding vows, or how their family took a wedding day helicopter ride. Well, that last bit might be more “exciting” than sentimental. Here is “Sebacey’s wedding day”
