When we first got the call from Andy + Richard, telling us all about their Craggy Range wedding in the Hawke’s Bay, we were SO excited. For anyone who’s never heard, Craggy Range is the most amazing vineyard located at the base of Te Mata Peak. For anyone in the Hawke’s Bay (or anywhere else in NZ for that matter) planning a wedding, this place is a must-see… The whole wedding day was incredible.
Andy’s Anna Schimmel dress fit her like a glove. Andy + Richard’s son Sam was a special addition to the day’s proceedings, being wheeled down the aisle in a wagon! The ceremony at St Luke’s Church Havelock North was incredibly heartfelt, with some beautiful verses read and vows exchanged. After a glass of bubbles + family photos, we took the bridal party away for some photos on the grounds of Craggy Range. With Te Mata Peak in the background, the lake at Craggy Range was the perfect backdrop. We then stole the newlywed couple away on their own for some romantic photos up Te Mata Peak where we were treated to the most glorious sunset we could possibly have asked for. They were such troopers too, with Andy climbing the peak in her heels!
We got back to the reception room to find it decked out beautifully, with flowers from the New World that Richard actually owns! In fact, the cake was done there too – we couldn’t believe how great of a job they did. The supermarket theme was continued throughout, with the tables named after different departments of the New World. It was a stunner of a day, and we hope that you like these photos… we’re looking forward to the next time we get to head down to the Hawke’s Bay – there’s something special about the fresh winter air down there that has us hankering to get back!
