❤️ Our wedding story in 7 chapters❤️ – by @nosyparker__ Chapter Five: The Ceremony Walking down the isle, arm in arm with my dad and step dad, walking towards the man of my dreams, my step son, my sister and my best friend, past my family members and a few close friends who we consider family was a moment I will never forget. Small, intimate and perfect. I had a lump in my throat holding back joyful tears as I wanted this moment to last forever. Our ceremony was relaxed, informal and full of love and laughter thanks to the vibe set by my sister and celebrant @rochelle.was.here and the amazing talent of Lisa from @la.social who sung me down the isle to her version of Time after Time ❤️ Our aunties were our witnesses and our mums both did a beautiful toast with @quartzreefwines to wrap up proceedings on the beach. @jill.arkley @lindawalshlyn Our rings were such a special part of the ceremony thanks to @thediamondshop Our vows were really specific – in summary, besides all the lovey dovey stuff, tom promised to always cook for me and my family and I promised to make him a cup of early grey with 1/2 a sugar tea every morning I can ❤️ The setting was breath taking and even on reflection it still feels like a perfect dream!
❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters – by @nosyparker__ ❤️ Chapter One: The Dress @bw36.174 What does a girl wear to marry the man of her dreams ? I had very little input into the dress process because I trusted the creative genius of Blair so much. Tom had said he loved ‘French, edgy and classic’ wedding dresses … with only this information and the fact it was an outdoor morning wedding paired with a bouquet of wildflowers Blair created something so magical beyond my dreams. A dress with a stunning silhouette and what seemed like a million glass beads, paired with a cropped, trimmed veil. Supporting kiwi designers is incredibly important to us as a couple and I can’t thank Blair enough for creating something so spectacular! Blair also made my sister’s suit, my bridesmaids dress and mums amazing outfit. I’ll be sharing these later today too! All us women looking fantastic 💙 Also a massive thanks to the team at @chaosandharmonyshoes for my custom wedding shoes to match my dress ❤️ I found the most comfy pair of heels and they recreated them for me in white. And thank you to @kathgould_makeup for being an amazing friend and creative director of all things Kim during this process!

❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters❤️- by @nosyparker__ Chapter Seven: The Helicopter The final chapter of our wedding day On our first trip as a couple to the Glenorchy region we took a helicopter trip up to Earnslaw Burn with @heliglenorchy We made the comment that it would make a pretty epic backdrop for some wedding photos…. Fast forward a couple of years and we were able to make that dream a reality. The perfect finale to a perfect wedding day. #wedding #weddingvenue #newzealand #nzwedding #epicwedding #kiwiwedding
📍 Shark Week 2024 🦈 @sharkweek I can’t stop crying tears of joy and delight. I started studying Marine Bio during covid via correspondence to try to gain some formal credibility in a field I wanted to be createive in. I was so scared for so many reasons and doubtful that the efforts and financial investment was the right thing to do… Fast forward a few years and I got the opportunity in April to join some of the best scientists in the world to study some of the biggest sharks in the world and get up close (very close) and personal with them for some new research. I am beyond proud to announce that on July 7th our show will be the opening show on Shark Week 2024!!!! I am sharing this 1) to promote the show. But 2) because I know the feeling of not knowing if your dreams will ever be tangible, if you are completely nuts or if you are chasing ideas that are too big. I hope this is the little nudge you might need (I needed it yesterday) to keep going. You got this. We all got this. And 3) because Sharks are beautiful, deserve respect and a healthy ocean has strong predators to keep all the ecosystems alive and thriving! More info on the show coming soon! 🦈

❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters❤️ – by @nosyparker__ Chapter Four: The Build Up Kim : I spent the early hours of the morning waiting for nerves to kick in … they never came. I spent the morning in calmness, getting my make up done by Kath as I do most mornings I am working. Surrounded by family and cups of tea and chatter… all a familiar feeling and setting. We had created a full call-sheet for Everyone for the day so we could ‘Hit our marks’ and all run to time. I ate breakfast on the floor with Brooke and Kath, helped curl my sisters hair, took photos, showed my dress to my dad and step mum and then my step dad. Then it was time… although the nerves never came, the excitement grew as the 10:30am go time drew closer! I was ready!! Tom : Having my mum and son in the room for the finishing touches was a very proud moment for all of us.. I am about to say yes to Kim and change our lives forever! 🩷 #wedding #weddingvenue #newzealand #nzwedding #smallwedding @kinlochwildernessretreat.nz @kathgould_makeup @chaosandharmonyshoes @thediamondshop @by.hoshi @white_tree_floral_design @bw36.174 @zambesisince79
❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters❤️ – by @nosyparker__ Chapter Six: The Picnic Tom took me on my first proper picnic on New Year’s Eve 2023. That was one of the memories cemented in my brain as a pivotal moment in our love story. When we were talking about how we wanted our wedding day to look, having a morning ceremony followed by a Kiwiana picnic seemed like the perfect option for us. The menu needed to be full of the foods we loved and that were special to us. Tom’s dad was a chef and a lot of the items on our menu were in memory of him. The team at @kinlochwildernessretreat.nz were so amazing at pulling together our picnic menu and worked with some amazing kiwi vendors to make it all possible. The lovely Lisa from @la.social sung some of our family’s favourite songs. We had @no8distillery limoncello to represent our engagement. And @quartzreefwines bubbles for all our toasts 🍾 The menu : mini asparagus rolls – a family fav for both of us! angels on horseback – I think I at the majority of these on the wedding day! cheese rolls – a nod to the South Island bacon and egg pie – Reminds Kim of her Nana Joan 40 x coronation chicken sandwiches – like Tom’s dad would make Waldorf Salad – walnuts, granny smiths, grapes, celery and mayonnaise Rainbow Salad – carrots, beets, corn, avocado, tomato, lettuce, seeds Porcupines with cheese and pineapple – a fav from our kids parties Kiwi dip and crudites Cheeseboard, Gathered Game and Artisan olives European Bakery Bread – the best tasting bread ever! If you get the opportunity to try this you will understand our obsession! @europeanbakeryltd Akaroa Salmon – the best salmon ever! A fav of both our families and one of the key things everyone keeps talking about from the wedding! @akaroasalmonnz Patagonia Ice-cream and chocolate sauce – something we have for dessert most nights. This was the first item on the list when we started making a menu! Life is short, eat dessert first! @patagoniachocolates Wedding cake – the cake my best friend has been making me for over 2 decades! @albertineskitchen
❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters ❤️ – by @nosyparker__ Chapter Three: The venue @kinlochwildernessretreat.nz Kim: There is a certain ‘feeling’ you get when you arrive at this special place. Such a special feeling that it’s almost like you are privy to a secret that you want to keep to yourself because it’s so special. To not sure the magic of this place would seem like a crime because I hope all of you in your journeys get the opportunity to visit this little lodge. The food is spectacular, the rooms cosy and the view is so pretty. The ethics of this operation align so deeply with Tom and I as a couple, when we traveled the South Island looking for the perfect spot to get married there was no other option in the running. This spot and these people are what made our wedding experience so special. Tom: 34 years ago, I fell in love with a place called Kinloch. Not much has changed about this place apart from a few renovations to the old lodge. I am so happy that the bones and heart have remained safe and preserved for the future generations to enjoy like I have. The best memories… #wedding #weddingvenue #newzealand #nzwedding #smallwedding #kinloch #glenorchy
❤️Our wedding story in 7 chapters ❤️ – by @nosyparker__ Chapter two: The Suits @zambesisince79 Tom: “If I am going to marry the woman of my dreams, I need to know that I have the finest quality hand made suit to look my best” They say a successful marriage that lasts the test of time needs to start with a solid foundation.. Zambesi was established in 1979, the year I was born.. and in my opinion is the leading fashion house in New Zealand. That is why I wanted them to Taylor make my wedding suit. With a watchful eye of the founder and creative genius, Liz works closely with protégé and very talented Olli who listened closely on what I wanted and turned my perfect suit I had in my thoughts into a reality. With a minor spanner in the works.. I asked if he could create a 2nd miniature version for my 8 year old son and best man, Louie. The challenge was accepted, and the result melted my mother’s heart. I had a wonderful experience with Zambesi.. I felt so proud that I could stand in the most beautiful scenery that New Zealand has to offer, wearing the most beautiful suit that New Zealand has to offer and about to marry the most talented and beautiful woman that New Zealand has to offer. I think I am the luckiest man alive. @zambesisince79 @nosyparker__ cufflinks by @thediamondshop

📍World Ocean Day (Fiji) Celebrating the ocean today by sharing one of my most recent highlights. Snorkeling with white and black tipped sharks in Fiji with @the__tomwalsh These amazing and curious creatures are such a joy to watch as they navigate the beautiful reef off the coast of Fiji. 🇫🇯 Tom and I both love being underwater and exploring together. It’s one of the few places my mind is quiet and present! We are dedicated to helping take care of it, learn more about it’s ecosystems and encourage people to explore its beauty more often ❤️ #worldoceansday #fiji
📍 Kuata Island, Fiji Diving with Bull Sharks. 🦈 We are obsessed and fascinated with sharks. Today we got to tick off a bucket list experience and join a bunch of marine biologists and shark researchers and get up close (very close) and personal with some of the most important creatures on the reef. 🪸 A healthy reef should have a lot of sharks, they help stabilise the ecosystem. The team here have been working incredibly hard to keep this paradise flourishing with daily coral planting and restoration. Beyond grateful to experience this together on our honeymoon ❤️
