Wedding Of The Week - Nikki and Craig MacKay

Nikki and Craig are from Outram and held thier wedding down in the stunning Catlins.

When and where did you meet?: We met seven years ago through a mutual friend, lost contact for two years, then started dating five years ago.

The proposal: There was no proposal, it was a mutual agreement that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other and the next logical step was to get married.

Where was the wedding?: Tautuku outdoor education camp, Tautuku, Catlins, Otago.

Why did you choose the venue?: Because we wanted to be somewhere outdoors, where we could make a whole weekend of it and have our guests stay with us and not have to worry about driving at the end of the night.

The dress: My stepmother-in-law made my dress, and imported the fabric from America. The bridesmaids' dresses were also made by my stepmother-in-law

The flowers: I got my flowers made for me from flax, by Hapene Flax in fielding. I wanted flowers that would last forever.

The caterers: We had a full roast by Just Essence catering. They were fantastic to deal with!

Highlight of the day: The whole day was so good, but I think being away with the photographers and wedding party for all the professional photos was my highlight.

Your photographer and favourite photo: Jan and Wayne Johnson from Aspiring Photography, Wanaka. They were absolutely brilliant. I have so many favourite photos but I think my favourite would have to be the panoramic shot of us (it reminds me of our cake topper).
