When Sam wanted to look amazing for an upcoming holiday, she booked a personal trainer by the name of Dean, who turned out to be the very person she would fall in love with and lead us to this stunning wedding celebration, set on Sam’s family farm “Black Rock”, at the very spot Dean had asked Sam to be his bride.

Here’s what Sam & Dean had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “Thank you so much, it’s absolutely beautiful! I was in tears for the majority of it, but through my watery eyes I relived our special day. You really highlighted the love and happiness of the day and we couldn’t be more grateful for the time and care you’ve spent on it. The last 20 seconds was such a nice surprise and hilarious reminder of that moment on the hill, thank you!


It’s also so nice to see how you’ve captured the guests, we miss so much as the bridal party being away having photos etc, but it was nice to see everyone having such a good time together, exactly how we had hoped.” – Dean & Sam

Making the journey to the Sunshine Coast in Australia to spend some time with these awesome people was such a thrill. Kim & Tim first cast eyes on each other while being rostered-on together for the same flight – Tim the pilot and Kim the flight attendant – in what was the first of a string of splendid encounters.

Montville turned on the magic, as we had the most perfect day in the Sunshine Coast’s Hinterland, while the birds chirped away and the sleepy town welcomed our wedding guests from around the world to really enjoy this special day and then let loose on the dance floor.

After our first chat we knew this wedding was going to be amazing. With 200kms between the ceremony and reception spots, our fingers were crossed for some great weather, and the South of New Zealand didn’t disappoint. New Zealand holds a special place in the hearts of Kate & Mark. It was the place they fell in love adventuring together, achieving the summit of Mt Aspiring, and they wanted to share this love for adventure with their closest friends and family. After a beautiful ceremony at the Church of the Good Shepherd, a helicopter was standing by to take us to both Dragonfly Peak and Coromandel Peak for some epic photos before Kate & Mark cut the ribbon at Rippon Vineyard and walked into their wedding reception. We hope the rest of your married life is as adventure filled as your wedding day.

Here’s what Kate & Mark had to say after watching this wedding film for the first time :  “This is absolutely brilliant, we are truly delighted with it! From day one, the Lovelight team embraced the challenge we set them and we were thrilled for them to join us on the adventure that was our wedding day. You’ve done amazingly well in condensing a 19 hour day into a 10 minute video, that captures all the parts of our day we hold so dear. We’ve laughed, cried and reminisced as we’ve watched it, and are so grateful to have worked with such a talented team. We had the most epic wedding day that exceeded all expectations, and now to be able to relive it time and time again is priceless. Thank you for your dedication and patience in producing a video we absolutely love! ” – Mark & Kate

Ben & Alice flew back from the UK to get hitched at Peregrine Winery in Central Otago. An absolutely stunning venue in the Gibbston Valley. The wind picked up in the morning and threatened to disrupt their gorgeous ceremony setting, but nothing was going to stop Alice & Ben enjoying the most perfect day, along with their friends and family.
