Hazel and Andy

Hazel and Andy's wedding vision was a fun blend of elegance and and festivity, spanning two unforgettable days. The first day was a formal, elegant ceremony, while the following day brought a playful and energetic celebration with additional guests and plenty of fun.

Their choice of Craggy Range for the reception was a nod to their shared love for the location, exquisite cuisine, fine wines, and the exceptional staff. The event featured beautiful speeches, the ceremonial cutting of the cake, and the classic bouquet toss, all underscored by a vibrant soundtrack provided by a talented group of DJs.

Hazel’s journey to her perfect dress was serendipitous. Introduced to designer Lucy by a mutual friend, Hazel bypassed the traditional dress-trying process. Lucy, fresh from her stint in London with Emilia Wickstead, presented Hazel with sketches that immediately resonated with her. Hazel's visual background allowed her to fully grasp and trust Lucy's vision, resulting in numerous trips to Auckland and countless phone conversations. Lucy's influence extended beyond the dress, inspiring Hazel's entire mood board, from shoes to makeup and hair with her not one but two incredible dresses.

Together, Hazel and Andy's wedding was a perfect blend of sophistication and spirited celebration, beautifully captured in each memorable moment.
