You know how much your girl loves to work a room, so it was pretty blimmin excellent to pop along to the after party of @showbizchristchurch’s Come From Away as my girl @courtenayfergusson’s plus one 💃 Court played Hannah (and others) and my guy @jc_nz Kevin J (and others).

So much FUN!! @andreazoephotography and I had an @elopeaway meeting last night while we painted with the ever-so-clever @genavieveamyesart and was poured some drinks by the lovely team at @suburban416kaiapoi. What a night!!

There are more of these Paint + Pour events coming up, so keep an eye out. I'm going to go again! So much blimmin talent in that room! (While I haven't picked up a paintbrush since primary school.... 🙈😅💃🏼

Forget today’s wild winds 🌬️💃 How good that our sunflower elopes brought in at least $2000 for some incredible Oxford charities as well as @gumbootfriday (@iamhope_nz) I say, “at least” because I know that our couples and their guests also gave more on the day of their elope, with further donations and purchasing sunflowers etc 🌻 What a pleasure it has been for @andreazoephotography and I from @elopeaway to bring in these extra dollars for the woman behind all of this - Kerry McCorry, so she can distribute these funds within the community where it’s most needed. We can’t wait to offer our elopement package again next year!! I have a goal in mind… let’s do this!!

It's here! 💙 The release of our first Banks Peninsula Elopement Package at the very cool @bigskynz in French Farm 💙🤍❤️

Together with @robin_andie_photos, we're excited for this new offering - and I know SO many of you are, too - because your messages about these packages has been awesome!

It includes venue hire, celebrant and photography. You can also upgrade:
- Big Sky has accommodation for up to 10 people, including two onsite yurts. (Each double bedroom has its own bathroom)
- onsite or local catering
- longer photography time
- videography

Big Sky Retreat is a peaceful space and the perfect getaway. From here you can enjoy all that the Banks Peninsula has on offer. It's just over an hour from Christchurch and 15 minutes from Akaroa.

The views from Big Sky through the day are vast and tranquil, but it is the night sky and the opportunity to stargaze that makes it really special.

So, what do you think?! We love it! More info here:

Introducing our Woolshed Elopement Package! 💒🩷 We’re SO excited to be showcasing this truly gorgeous space to you all! It’s about time we had a beautifully rustic, country setting for our couples 🥰💘 Montana Woolshed in Oxford is our absolute favourite place for this kind of vibe. @andreazoephotography and I are so excited for you to elope to - the @montanawildflowermeadow (and woolshed 😉

Check out this little beauty – with that classic corrugated iron on the outside and beautiful wooden interior. And, if you choose to get married in summer – maybe, just maybe, there will be a whole meadow of Montana wildflowers next door ready for you to have some beautiful photos taken in.

How good!!

We’ve already had so much interest from the first rambling reel I shared last week, so be sure to lock your favourite day in with us!

Have you ever had that feeling of being so excited

Have you ever had that feeling of being so excited to share something that you delay it by weeks, trying to find the perfect moment to tell everyone?! 🩷 I've been so, SO very amped to share what I've been chipping away at in the background, adding a new skillset to my toolkit - which is literally going to benefit each and every one of you 💃🏼 but I've been so focussed on making our sunflowers package a national media hit, hitching couples during the height of wedding season, launching new elopement packages I just KNOW you'll all love (and all that stuff that goes on the background), that I still haven't shared my BIG NEWS!! And, no, I haven't become a Life Coach (perhaps to the disappointment of so many of you who have requested I become one 😅 What I've achieved is something so much more which is going to benefit every single couple I have the honour to hitch and each business I work with. Over the next week, I'll share a little more, and then I'll launch this little beauty on Friday 28 February! 🩷 Excited? I sure am!!

Rules to live by: 1️⃣ Never wear a dress at Si

Rules to live by: 1️⃣ Never wear a dress at Sign of the Bellbird on a windy day (that's a story for another time...🤦🏼‍♀️) 2️⃣ Always say "Yes!" when your just-eloped couple invites you to have a shot of drambuie with them 3️⃣ Never try your first-ever sip of said shot when there's a photographer there to document each burning microsecond 🤦🏼‍♀️💃🏼 4️⃣ And make the most of moments like these 🩷 Looking back at this early December elopement makes me smile. None of us wanted to leave there happily chatting away on that brick wall, but S + K had guests to celebrate with. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness on your new overseas adventure. K🩷

Awww! 🐾 One thing I'm known for is being an animal adorer 😻 So, if you turn up to your elopement with your little furry pal, just know I have my ink pad, ready to take their signature 🩷💃🏼 What better way to remember your day!!

(I've even had kitty cats 'paw the doc' !! Would be interested to hear from elopees who have other animals that might like to agree that their parents get married! 😅😂🤣🐎🐏🐢

What a week it’s been out at @southeyresunflower

What a week it’s been out at @southeyresunflowers - ending with a spur of the moment decision by @themikeking to fly down to ChCh to meet @kerry_ann_mccorry and @andreazoephotography - and I was so grateful to have been invited, too!🌻 Making the most of the opportunity, I had a chat with Mike about how @iamhope_nz helps our young people (we’ll share those videos a little later) and I snuck in a little briefing to him that Andrea and I at @elopeaway donate $500 to I AM HOPE for each sunflower elopement! There’s possibly still a couple of weeks of flowering left this month, so it’s not too late for you to get hitched down here too, but you could also get in early for next February 😉🌻

Thank you also to @lisa_davieschch @bexosullycam @breakfaston1 and @chrislynchmedia for your coverage of our sunflower elopement package this past week, too 💛

Wow 🤯 The very moment I finish releasing my four-part (meant to be three-part 🫣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️), long-winded elopement package video series, IG decides it’s a great day to launch its three-minute reels 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣🫠 (But, don’t worry, over the past few days I’ve learnt to keep my video chat to a minimum and info to a maximum... Let’s just hope I know how to do that next time 😉🫣💃

In today’s final installment I chat about our @southeyresunflowers elopement donation to @iamhope_nz, our Winter Elopement Package at @darjonvineyard and our castle-like elope at @signofthetakahenz 🩷

I kinda said that my chat about our 2025 Elopement Package overview was going to spread over three parts… Clearly, I lied 😳🫢 It will be in four (amazing!) parts 💀 But there really is nothing better than to hear me rave about a subject I LOVE.... right?! 💃🏼

Final chapter, tomorrow.

Today I talk about @southeyresunflowers and the glorious @montanawildflowermeadow (although, I really do need to practice both of their names...) 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ (What I also chatted about, but didn’t have enough time in this reel, is that a large portion of our elopement fee goes to @iamhope_nz 🌻 A charity close to all of our hearts 🫶
