Only in New Zealand does a trip to the countryside require a helicopter! Zoe and Brad’s Lake Benmore wedding began with an intimate waterfront ceremony before the newlyweds hopped in a helicopter with photographer Jim Pollard goes click for their epic mountain portrait session. Keeping things simple with a navy and white color palette, the highlight of Zoe and Brad’s wedding was the incredible landscape of their neighbor’s farm.

The Couple:

Zoe and Brad

The Wedding:

Lake Benmore, New Zealand

The Inspiration:

We had the ceremony on our neighbour’s farm beside Lake Benmore and the reception in our family farm’s woolshed so our theme was country/woodshed wedding and from this I thought simple, beautiful and strong colours, hence why the groomsmen and the bridesmaids were dressed in navy.

The Moments:

Our favourite moment was when not a single guest was sitting down and the dance floor was packed! It was awesome to see everyone having an amazing time celebrating with us

The Couple Recommends:

Our photographer, Jim was so awesome to work with, he made us feel relaxed and comfortable and he took some breath taking shots! Also, our caterers were off the charts! The food was so good!
