Eleven Mother’s Days with my little guy 🤍 Austen took me to a cooking class at @riversidekitchenchch hosted by chef Rob and Belinda 🤍🤍 And we had a lovely high tea with teas from @teapalacenz 🤍 Such treats 🤍 Love you, my littlest love xox

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Kineta and I marry any tw

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Kineta and I marry any two people, under the law here in NZ, who are in love 🩷🩷 Unfortunately, that's not the case for all vendors in the local wedding scene. Sad, right? It's come to the point where I really am SO ready to cancel these people from this industry because they really do not deserve to work in a space that is so full of love, no matter the gender or pronoun. Thought I'd stoke the fire just a little by sharing just some of my favourite elope pics. Same-sex couples 🌈 How terrifying 🏳️‍🌈🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

I love what I do but I do not love the people who refuse to work on same-sex weddings. If anyone is interested to know who these vendors are, DM me 😉😅 Happy to help you avoid them x

Annnnnnnd, scene 😉😅

Can’t believe it’s been a year since I was sworn in as a JP 🩷 The most interesting year, that’s for sure. Looking forward to studying towards becoming a Judicial Justice over the next couple of years 🩷

It’s a throwback kinda day 💃 Saw my girl @kellysheppardhairartist today and it reminded me of this shoot we did with @andreazoephotography the other month 🩷🩷 Salon sessions with Kelly are 👌 but having Andrea there too was 😈 Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that salon 🤭🫣😅🤣

Always here for a hard launch 🙈😉😅 It's the perfect storm for me. Theatre, arts, writing. Love it. Thanks @chrislynchmedia for reminding me how good I would be writing about the local art and theatre scene. My absolute happy place 🥰

I’ll just go ahead and quote myself: “What a play. What a cast. What a production.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There aren’t too many tickets left for this absolute trainwreck of a comedy show 😉😅 “The play-within-a-play is utter nonsense. An unstoppable avalanche of comic disaster. It’s slap-stick, Faulty Towers-esque at its finest.” You can read my full review at @chrislynchmedia - chrislynchmedia.com/news-items/theatre-review-the-play-that-goes-wrong

What a place! Such a privilege to attend the opening of The End of the Golden Weather at the @courttheatrenz's new home back in the heart of Christchurch 🥰 As a friend said, walking into the theatre is "like walking into a hug" and she's not wrong 💃🏼 With audience seating set on three levels, in quite a compact, steep space, it very much reminded me of London's @the_globe 🩷 The play itself, well, here's what Backstage Christchurch reviewer, @belinda_bodley_reid had to say: "The End of the Golden Weather combined the best of New Zealand storytelling with the best of New Zealand acting, with a wealth of New Zealand creative talent in the newest of New Zealand purpose-built theatres. You can’t ask for more than that." -- facebook.com/BackstageChristchurch

Last elope of the season today 💘 And I love that it ended with our gorgeous Picnic Elopement Package crew. I utterly adore working with @unic_picnic @cateredaffairnz @bykirsten.weddings + @rosemountweddings. Four women I'm so honoured to work alongside to create these beautiful memories for any two people in love - and their favourite few. Love you ladies xo

So! It's five weeks off hitching for me while I hibernate and write a magazine-worth of content 💃🏼 (My wedding seasons don't really end. I just like to add a little drama into the mix and say they have come to an end 🙈

Marlon Williams's documentary Nga Ao E Rua, Two Wo

Marlon Williams's documentary Nga Ao E Rua, Two Worlds takes you backstage into his life as he travels the world, telling the story of how he produced his first te reo Maori album - along with the scores of people who were part of its journey.

Being at the premiere last night was so special, as so many of Marlon's childhood, music and life in general community were there, so the audience vibe was really quite electric. And, even if we don't know him personally, by the end of it we felt we did because his personality throughout the doco was so casual, fun and sincere making it feel like we were lifetime buds.

One of the many highights was when the ChCh Cathedral Choir surprised former member Marlon with "a beautiful arrangement of my wiata" leaving the singer quite lost for words and his eyes a little "dusty" just before the doco opened.

Ok, this is now turning into a review, which it's not 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️

Soooo, this is a pic of me and my mate @chrislynchmedia going to a gig which is also a doco 💃🏼 (Actually, Chris did write the review, so pop yourself over to chrislynchmedia.com to have a read)

In cinemas from today! I'd go if I were you. (I'll be honest, I don't know any of Marlon's songs but you don't have to to enjoy it... Off to find him on Spotify!)
