In three words describe each other as individuals…
Leo Loyal, Unique, Courageous // Isaac Strong, Humble, Generous
How did you meet?
One of my nearest and dearest friends played cupid, brilliant shot that cupid! He had a friend (my now Fiance) coming to stay at our apartment for a few nights. Just before his arrival I discovered texts in my friends phone prompting him to take me on a sympathy date, I was furious as it was only 3 months after going through an awful breakup! I even planned to be completely horrible towards him when I finally met him to make a point to the bestie that going behind my back was unacceptable. He arrived to the apartment and I passed him on the staircase then BOOM he had me at hello! The sexiest man I had ever laid eyes on. Intrigued by my out of the blue physical attraction I spent the rest of the night engaged in conversion with him. There he sealed the deal his intellect had me eternally captivated, I was his! We spent another 2 months emailing and calling each other, soon after we were official. Nearly 4 years on and we are about to tie the knot!
Tell us the one quality you love most about each other…
Leo I love Isaacs work ethic, he only ever completes anything he applies himself to at 100% capacity, he never accepts anything less. Isaac Leo’s loyalty to her family, her friends, and especially towards me is rare, this attribute is important to me, I have never found it in another.
Tell us about the proposal… You can read it all here on my blog xx
In three words describe your planned wedding style… Intimate, Authentic, Ornate
When and where are you planning on getting married?
Its Dec 2015, we are keeping details on the down low, super hard, especially because I just want to shout it out and do a rain dance! Haha! Announcing to family first then the guests to follow
What will be your splurge item for your wedding?
My amazing photographer Emily at Clipic, capturing our moments you can’t put into words!!
Where are you going for you honeymoon and why?
Our dream destination is Greece but we recently have struggled with the notion we live in the most beautiful country in the world and traveling right to the top and through to the bottom of New Zealand together would be an absolute adventure! So we are tossing like salad between the two!
Everyone has a different way of viewing the world… I see mine through a lens, in vibrancy and color.
I am Emily Roper, a 24 year old dreamer based in Wellington NZ.
When it comes to photographing anything from weddings to fashion, I prefer to avoid the usual posey approach and create something that is totally unique. I like to produce work that is honest, observational, and most importantly unobtrusive.
With every job I complete I am always learning more. I am determined, creative, and friendly. I love to meet new people and be inspired by others. Above all, I never take anything for granted.
