— Hannah & Glen

After a wet, hot and humid one the day before, we were greeted with a proper summer day with no rain, still hot and humid but not a rain cloud to be seen. Hannah and Glen and 150 of their closest friends and family gathered on the family farm at Maungaraupi just outside of Marton. With a stunning Flagship Events Cape Cod Sperry Tent set up on the childhood tennis court and surrounded by the beautiful gardens and grounds that Glen’s parents John and Brenda had worked so hard to create for their special day.

“Think of our wedding as a Friendsgiving - a Thanksgiving with our mates”

— Tina

Maungaraupi Country Estate

2020 has been a doozy of a year so far and it has created and changed so many plans. I’ve had over a dozen postponements and another half a dozen cancellations, so after taking another cancellation email. About 48 hours after I had, Tina get in touch asking if I was available to come along and shoot their quick fire wedding. You create your own luck, and this was the world working in mysterious ways!

They found a little hidden gem in the middle of nowhere, Maungaraupi Country Estate, they fell in love with is decor and light and decided to invite their closest friends for a little Wes Anderson inspired Friendsgiving, a Thanksgiving but with their mates and tacked on a wedding too. Kris is originally from the UK and Tina from the US, so their overseas friends and family joined in via small video messages from home.

Taking inspiration from their Wes Anderson theme, Character cut inspo from my kids favourite books from 1995 ‘Machines and Amazing Mazes’ by Edmond Davis, techniques from photog talents in Briars Atlas and Van Middleton and shout out to the bro Brad Boniface for the 45mm tilt shift too, was spicy!

I decided to create a helluva GIF on steroids. With a clear cut cutting masterclass, take a look at their wedding day above in all its stop motion animated fantasticalness.
