Aaron & Emma | Mt Vernon Lodge Akaroa Wedding

Aaron & Emma | Mt Vernon Lodge Akaroa Wedding

I still look back and absolutely love the images of Aaron and Emma’s wedding day. What an amazing couple, they kept their wedding intimate, only inviting the absolute closest to them to share in their love and joy and what a day it turned out to be! There was even a beautiful tradition where every guest blessed their wedding rings.

To keep their day their own they opted to have a first look before their ceremony, and then we travelled around Akaroa looking for the best spots. We started off at the wharf where we were so lucky to be the only ones there! Then we went onto the lighthouse, and found a beautiful path right near the cemetery (its amazing where you find the right spots! From there we travelled until we found a walking path up the hill for some views, and onto the local Olive Grove. These two did not shy away from being adventurous for the right spots.

These two lovely people are the perfect mix of love, laughs and energy! Its so hard not to get along with them and their infectious nature as a couple. On my recent trip back home to Christchurch for a wedding we planned to meet up for engagement photos. While not my usual style of photography, we had become set on indoor locations - thankfully because the weather did not play ball.
