Today's wedding has a real kiwi feel about it. It's classic yet down to earth, and gorgeous couple Katie & Willie just seem like a couple of humble lovebirds who are saying I do because 'duh' they already know that they just fit! I am especially in love with the brides dress (how can you not be!) and the gorgeous mix and match navy bridesmaid dresses (including one very beautiful bump which will now be rocking around as a real little human!). A big thank you to the always awesome Toni Larsen Photography for sharing this fab day with us! xox
