Sonya & Jamie – Lake Pukaki Elopement

When Sonya & Jamie told us about their plans to elope to Lake Pukaki we started to get very excited. The couple from Ireland and Scotland have built a new life in the South Island of New Zealand. Jamie is a roofer working on the rebuild of Christchurch and Sonya pours her heart into anything from hairdressing to dogs! With their first baby on the way this year, the wedding day was a start of a very exciting new chapter for these newlyweds.”

They wanted to join their lives together in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, Lake Pukaki and we told them we’d be delighted to join in on the fun.

Here’s what Sonya & Jamie said after watching their Lake Pukaki Elopement Film :
Wow! Thank you both Craig & Mark so much for not only literally going the distance to our favourite place in New Zealand but also for helping us capture the emotions of our wedding day. It was an extra special day for us & it’s great to have the video to remember those feelings of nervous exciting happiness! We would highly recommend any bride & groom invest in Lovelight for their wedding day, the friendly yet professional expertise is priceless!” – Sonya & Jamie MacDonald.
