We all love a good wedding

And when the celebration’s yours it’s not just the day that’s memorable - it’s the steps along the way.

The decisions. The emotions. The ladder to one of life’s most epic journeys: marriage.

At New Zealand Weddings our heart is the magazine.

It’s our passion for weddings – the creativity and joy of the journey – that is our soul.

While there are few things that I enjoy as much as putting together a beautiful, inspiring and informative magazine about all things wedding, I hope this blog will reach out that much further to those planning a wedding, or to those who just plain love them. 

With the first step, here’s one of my favourite wedding images, one that marks a sense of occasion:

It’s the sense of arrival that I love about it.

And the fact that it could have been shot five years or 50 years ago, epitomising that old cliché that black and white photography is timeless. (It’s actually been a decade since this was taken at my ex flatmate’s big day.)

It’s a moment like this that celebrates a bride’s debut – when she feels her most beautiful and full of life and love. When all those steps and decisions that ebb and flow for months or years transform into exactly what you envisaged.

Let the games begin!
