Simon & Lucy’s Wedding at Glasshouse Morningside
Ceremony by the Sea
The ceremony was held at Lucy’s dad’s house, right by the sea.
Super relaxed setup. Nothing over the top. Just good people, good views, and a nice breeze coming through.
The celebrant kept things simple too. One line that stuck with me was:
“Today is about choosing each other, not just once, but every day moving forward.”
Simon and Lucy didn’t try to make it into a big performance. They were just present. Laughing, smiling, a bit emotional at times, but nothing forced.
From where I was filming, it felt easy to capture. Nothing needed pushing.
Just Easy to Work With
Honestly, they were just great to work with.
They trusted us to do our thing. No micromanaging, no stress about how things should look.
That’s a big deal, especially when we’re doing a Same-Day-Edit. Things move fast, and we need that freedom to just get on with it.
They also treated my team really well. Respectful, easygoing, and just good people to be around.
Same-Day-Edit
This was one of those days where the Same-Day-Edit came together nicely.
Good moments throughout the day, nice reactions during prep, solid ceremony, and heaps of energy building into the evening.
We cut everything during the day and played it at the reception.
When it went up on screen, the room went quiet, then people started reacting.
But the main thing, Simon and Lucy loved it.
That’s always the goal.

Once things got going, it turned into a proper party.
Simon and Lucy love a good time, and it showed. Dance floor filled up pretty quick and stayed that way.
From a filming point of view, this is the best part. People stop thinking and just enjoy themselves.
Final Thoughts
They’re a fun couple.
They don’t overcomplicate things. They laugh a lot. They enjoy being around their people, and they’re clearly into each other.
That’s really it.
Simon and Lucy, appreciate you guys for trusting us and just letting us do what we do.
A Love Rekindled: Sandeep & Jaishri’s Elegant Wedding at The Glasshouse Morningside
From the Hockey Field to the Aisle
Their story began on a hockey field.
Sandeep was coaching a women’s team, and Jaishri—always showing up polished and graceful—stood out. Over the course of games and training sessions, they became friends. And after the season ended, that friendship turned into something magical.
Although their first go at love lasted only a few weeks, the impression Sandeep left never really faded for Jaishri.
Years later, they reconnected. Sparks flew again. And this time, they didn’t let go.
The Wedding Day: Modern, Intimate and Full of Heart
The moment I stepped into The Glasshouse Morningside, I knew this wedding would be special. The venue has this clean, modern vibe with just the right balance of natural light, greenery, and contemporary design. It's one of the most photogenic spaces I've worked in—and a dream for filming.
Sandeep and Jaishri wanted something intimate and elegant, with just the right mix of culture and style. They nailed it.
From the moment Jaishri walked down the aisle, looking stunning in a white sari with gold accents, to Sandeep’s emotional vows—every part of the ceremony felt deeply personal. You could feel the history between them. The kind of love that had waited, grown, and come full circle.
The Glasshouse gave us so much to work with—floor-to-ceiling windows, hanging plants, and that soft urban ambience that makes every frame glow. We leaned into those aesthetics to create a film and photo gallery that reflects not only their style but their connection.
A Wedding That Felt Like Them
What I appreciated most about Sandeep and Jaishri’s wedding was how unapologetically them it was. It wasn’t overly traditional, but their Indian heritage was honoured with grace—through the garments, the family blessings, the music, and the joyful energy in the room.
As a wedding videographer in Auckland who works with a lot of Indian couples, I’ve seen many big, bold weddings. But there’s something incredibly powerful about intimate, intentional days like this one—where every guest matters, and every moment has weight.
