LL Bride Series - feature Wedding Morgan and Johan

“Kelly, my sister told me from the get go to trust the people we engaged with for the wedding. I am a big believer of if you ‘employ’ a professional to do a role, trust them to do it.”
— LL Bride feature Morgan

If you have it in your budget to have a photographer and videographer then do it! Ask your photographer who they have worked with and who they recommend, if they have worked together they generally know how to capture the day together, they know how to banter off each other and make you and your bridal party feel relaxed. We had the absolute gun’s in the game David Le from David Le Photography and Ben Maurice from Sink or Surface Videography and together they make Stills X Motion. The best two lads in the game.

— Orlando Country Club

Designed with weddings in mind, Orlando Country Palmerston North includes spectacular views overlooking the manicured rural landscape leading seamlessly to the Ruahine Ranges, allowing wonderful ceremonies including the magical Orlando Chapel or courtyard setting.

They have created the perfect backdrop to capture precious moments before inviting guests to celebrate with an Orlando Country reception.

An all in one venue space, from the newly built cottage to get get ready. Multiple sites to hold your ceremony. Enough space to erect a marquee if you wish and a beautiful dining and dance hall for the reception with catering, staff and drinks provided. Your guests can be entertained with drinks and canapés at The Pavilion or go for a hit on the iconic driving range.

No wonder it is one of Palmerston Norths most sort after wedding venues.

Rachel and Matthew Pohangina Heights Wedding

Rachel and Matt married on Halloween at Pohangina Heights

We had a wild one up in Pohangina Valley for Rachel and Matt’s wedding this past Halloween Weekend.

This guys had to overcome a tonne of obstacles, with Rachel’s make up artist pulling out last second, to the wedding jacket taking 3 months to get back due to covid from Chile, vegan things not being vegan and a tonne of other things.

Big shout out to Rachel’s mum who was a superstar on the day and the weather gods for letting us get some snaps in between the wild elements.

Another Stills and Motion photo and video collab in the books - name a better two piece combo.

Hamish and Kate featured over on Wild Hearts

A ceremony setting amongst the rolling hills and long stoney river beds of Arild Farm, Mangaweka. Perth based Kate + Hamish were joined by their family and friends for a big celebration in this stunning rural setting on a family farm in New Zealand. 

Styled beautifully by Alice from Flock Events with soft textures and rustic earthy tones.

We are pretty chilled out people, so we opted for a relaxed cocktail style wedding that focused on three main things that we love most in life – great food, great tunes and great booze.” said Kate.
