New Zealand Countryside Wedding at Lake Benmore

August 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

New-Zealand-Countryside-Wedding-Lake-Benmore-Jim-Pollard-Goes-Click (14 of 24)

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.

Rustic Botanical Wedding at Ayana Resort and Spa

August 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Rustic-Botanical-Wedding-Ayana-Resort-Spa-diktat-photography (23 of 35)

Though Bali is one of the most incredible island destinations in the world, we love that Michelle and Jon chose an alternative styling route to the ultra-beachy standard with rustic, botanical, and vintage elements throughout their decor. The styling focal point was undeniably the unique and abundant floral design by Cosa Design Studio, all of which was impeccably captured by diktat photography.

The Couple:

Michelle and Jon

The Wedding:

Ayana Resort and Spa, Bali, Indonesia

The Inspiration:

Jon let me do the decor end because he cared more about the food. I’ve always wanted to go with a mesh of botanical, rustic, bohemian and vintage feel and have collected a number of inspirations on Pinterest before I knew we were going to get married. Everything I had on the board detailed this and it just came together on the day.

The Moments:

The speeches. A lot of tears were shed on the day since everyone gave a heart warming and touching speech.

The Couple Recommends:

Everyone involved in this wedding made this wedding absolutely perfect.

I knew from the get-go that I wanted Cosa and fought hard to have them do our wedding despite Jon‘s slight reluctance. But sometimes, you just have this innate feeling in your gut who you want and the gut was right! Would definitely recommend them through and through.

Kadek was wonderful on the day and when we saw a preview of our photo’s we knew we had chosen the right people.

Snap Story were also very involved and we just can’t wait to see the video.

The Wedding Team:

Photography – diktat photography
Venue – Ayana Resort and Spa
Floral Design – Cosa Design Studio
Live Music – The Soul Entertainment
Videography – Snap Story Pictures
Hair Styling – Daniel Ng
Wedding Dress – Yogie Pratama
Favors – Gimmix.net
