Brandon Kidd Photography sent us our next gem of a wedding and it is about as naturally gorgeous as you can get. You know those people that roll out of bed without a stitch of makeup and look positively radiant? Ya, I’m definitely not one of those lucky ducks but this wedding sooo is. It is paired down to gorgeous views, perfectly edited details and of course, one extremely happy and oh so in love couple. See it all here.

From the Bride… We wanted to showcase New Zealand (after all, we were lucky enough to have people traveling from all over the world!), so a quintessentially New Zealand location that had gorgeous scenery and excellent food and wine was key – Mudbrick Vineyard was perfect! Our families and many of the guests hired holiday houses (called a “bach” in NZ) on Waiheke for the time surrounding the wedding, so there was plenty of pre- and post-wedding celebrating. Our travel theme was an easy choice, considering the thousands of miles we’ve traveled to see each other over the years, the many guests traveling from all corners of the globe, and the fact that now with families in two different countries there will be plenty of travel ahead! We both love maps and old letters and parcels wrapped up with string, so we had great fun bringing it all together. Jenny fell in love with the bridesmaids’ dresses at first sight, so styled things around them as well, keeping things romantic and soft with an old-fashioned feel. The trickiest part was finding the guys’ ties!

What a beautiful setting! Dream-like, in fact. Such a cute cuuple.
I am in love with the cake topper! Those figures are so cute! Do you have any information on where those came from?
These are just gorgeous shots! I love the Photographer's creativity as well as the style of toning! Usually I like more color, but these images with their mutted tone have a gorgeous antique and etherial feel, which is quite beautiful!
Beautiful wedding!! I adore the cake toppers... are they a DIY by chance?
I love those cuff links! Where did you get them?
What a great set of photos - love those details. The cake topper and cuff links are sooo adorable!
Totally gorgeous photos! I especially love the cake toppers! So adorable!!

oh! i love this wedding! beautiful photos! where did they find the compass in the ring photo? I have been searching for one!
The natural beauty of New Zealand makes a wonderful backdrop! Thanks for sharing all these lovely details!
man, brandon and kristin really blew it out of the ball park with their photography! love it!
The cake toppers were made by the bride (my sister in law) she bought the figurines at a craft store and some sort of glue covering and wrapped them in newspaper- I'm not sure how it works haha. The cuff links were custom made ordered through etsy.com and I don't know where the compass came from sorry! :)
lovely wedding. love those cake toppers! Big fan of Brandon and Kristin's work- so pretty!
where is the little camera favours from.
where is the little box favours from.
Beautiful romantic feel with some stunning photography....
Beautiful dress! What is the name or style of the La Sposa dress?
love this wedding, such a pretty dress, stunning photograhy and everything feels so gorgeously romantic!
Thaaaanks! (all credit to the photographers, so amazing) The favours were little boxed gourmet chocolates from a local NZ company, which I wrapped up in brown paper and string, then tied on labels that I got from Etsy (LazyDayCottage). Pretty easy! The dress is La Sposa "Lesseps", it's from a couple of seasons ago. As soon as I tried it on I knew it was perfect!
