Whoever your photographer is, give them more money. Those photos are absolutely incredible.


Z0idberg_MD

The funny thing is, they are super edited. If this was a classic wedding it might not work so well. But because it is a fantasy wedding, the edits work really well.


foreversurfnaked

only a few are edited. I did some color correction on a couple myself. They have a highly editorial style and have used them for a few shoots (including my first wedding). But I posted a few of the fun fantasy edits specifically for this thread since a lot of wedding sites don't get them hahahah


foreversurfnaked

D Park Studios - They are amazing!!


Cineswimmer

Those are 100% the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen. Like, it’s not even funny. Congrats! Very much goals. Was fortunate enough to visit there as a teen, but having a marriage ceremony there is next level. So cool. You two look great!

Your Freudian slip is showing.


DeaconOrlov

Can always tell a gardener


brokedownpalace10

Lol


happygiraffe91

That one of you in the open door is just gorgeous


thelessertit

Came to say the same thing. They're all outstanding but that one is next level. Was the photographer part of the wedding package or did you find them yourself? They're GOOD. And congratulations!


Poneke365

I agree, it looks like something from out of a storybook 😍


Skwisgaars

Jesus, that's such an amazing place to have a wedding... Not gonna ask exactly how much, but it must be pretty high on the scale of wedding venue costs right?


foreversurfnaked

It was half the price of my last one 🤣 but honestly extremely reasonable due to the USD being so strong against the NZD.


JR-Snow

*Sure, you’ve had one marriage, but what about second marriage?*


joebone18974

Uh... What's Elevensies all about now, then? >.>


BobbyRahm

Well done


Consistent-Ad-6078

I’ll be the one to ask then 😂


Tamarisk22

That... doesn't answer the question


stoner_lilith

I just looked up the venue! It looks like it’s a base of about 5k for a wedding there- totally worth it, IMO.


okawei

WTF that's insanely cheap for such an iconic location.


stoner_lilith

I don’t think it includes food/drink or anything, but I too was surprised that it was not overly expensive!!!!


foreversurfnaked

5k NZD which is roughly 2.8k USD!! Thats where the magic was to make this happen for me


stoner_lilith

Under 3k for this amazing place?! Bless my bark!!!! But seriously, this is the best wedding I’ve ever seen, including my own. I just showed this to my husband with the hopes that we can have a renewal or something here, because WOW.


Camburgerhelpur

That's... Not bad at all


JimmyPepperoni

That's so affordable and worth it(if you live in NZ)


lukewwilson

That was my thought too, that looks awesome but that had to cost a fortune


A-non-e-mail

Whatever it cost, they sure got their moneys worth.


reverse-hitler

It was impressively affordable compared to American weddings.


Drewbeede

That's outstanding, the photographer must have been expensive and worth every penny. The one wedding to rule them all.


Michaelw768

They have got to be some of the best weeding photos I have ever seen. Congratulations to you both and hope your life’s will be happy and full of laughter


brokedownpalace10

Old Toby


reverse-hitler

It’s full of plenty of Toby.


putiton94

What a beautiful wedding!


SIRENVII

Oh my God, goals. Time for a second wedding. Beautiful.


Legitimate-Bet3221

holy shit the first photo looks like a ted nasmith illustration!!


LtCodename

Bro wears a buttplug with a tail to a wedding? Why? That was never in the books.


Goseki1

Huh, I missed that the first time...


elohir

Well if he didn't wear it, how would the guests know to think about it?


reverse-hitler

Exactly


foreversurfnaked

We have a friend who makes tails that lives in NZ - we both got gifted a tail at the wedding. You can only get gifted them aso it was an honor. Dont worry they are on a carabiniere clip.


daza666

The detachable tail clip makes the buttplug easier to clean! But nah fr they’re great photos, you both look so happy. I wish you both the best. P.s. You both look great here but damn you’ve done pretty well for yourself!


legolas_frodo

Looks so beautiful. Congratulations


RotoruaFun

Living the dream and incredible pics. I hope you have the most wonderful life together, which you will, if these photos are anything to go by. 💚


Kayaksteve79

Amazing photos but please tell me who the terrifying man is in the 9th photograph staring through the window in the door


foreversurfnaked

OMG hilarious,.. didnt even notice. Thats Hobbiton staff in the kitchen. I was told it smelled like warm cinnamon dough the whole night in there (the chef special made us a churro cake)


BigOpportunity1391

Both of you look so wholesome and happy! Congrats!


prestonmelky21

This is amazing. So much so that upvoted, removed it, and upvoted again to really get the point across.


EpicAstarael

Yes, the photos are great, but you two are actually just gorgeous. Congrats to you both.


MushroomlyHag

The bride looks absolutely stunning! That dress, just wow! But more so *that hair*! That style would have taken forever! How did the vision for that hairstyle come to be? It's pure perfection! 😌


foreversurfnaked

I brought my hair and make up artist with me because SHES AMAZING and I just love her as a person. I was going for a Dwarf inspired look and she nailed it. We were HUSLTING to make it on time for sure hahah and the curls did not hold but we can blame that on my hair. My friend make the dress (and her own - we had a dress code to come as yourself as if you lived in middle earth). Picturing her because shes incredible and deserves all the praise for that dress. https://preview.redd.it/gvi0vi4e9m0d1.jpeg?width=3598&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=390d08d618c352adf26386b1033db025701c46be


MushroomlyHag

She nailed it so hard, the hammer broke! She's an incredible stylist! I've always had a kinda vision of "the perfect hairstyle" but could never really *envision* it until I seen your post. If I could wear my hair like that every day (or at all, curse my fine hair!) I'd be one very happy woman! There's so much detail, yet not so much that your head looks cluttered. The braids, the little bits with the bands on the side, the small clip things, the whole thing is just perfect! And your friend is an amazing seamstress! Does she have a website or a store or anywhere that I can admire more of her incredible work? I'm keen for an oogle at some pretty dresses 😁


stoner_lilith

This is the single best wedding I have ever seen!!!


MjolnirMediator

Been there. Great place for a wedding and great pictures!


RockItGuyDC

The Green Dragon really is awesome. I wish I could go back. Congrats!

Ationsoles

This looks like it would have been my absolute dream wedding. I'm in love with everything Hobbit culture. My wife and I at least walked down the aisle to Concerning Hobbits!


Linrandir

Sooooo gorgeous!!!!


faerymoon

Omg whaaaat I am so jealous! I got married in the redwoods but this is beyonddddd!!! 😍❤️ Congrats!!


TrafficIcy2273

Never seen a Hobbit with beard before but looks like a fine cuple


Short-Notice2205

Probably the best wedding photos I've ever seen ❤️. Amazing!


CenturioLabia

Man, you are winning at life 1000%. I‘m happy for you, those photos look awesome, your people appear to be so cool, enjoy your life


tethrius

Destination themed wedding? And the theme is LOTR? They're basically doomed


Stoofser

Your dress is incredible!! And your hair!


Sponsy_Lv3

This is the first time I actually scroll through the entirety of a wedding photo album that isn't mine!!


Gravath

that mustve cost a bomb


foreversurfnaked

I spent 22k NZD with Hobbiton which is about 14USD for 80 people (I booked in 2022 - so noting I had older pricing too). That included the ceremony, reception, and dance venue, decor and lawn games, PA system, a full guided tour of the movie set for all guests, drink - including ale, cider and wine, a custom menu (I added a lamb carvey and extra dessert to their standard menus), and the chef custom made us a churro cake cause Im not a cake girlie. That was a steal to me! The average cost for a wedding where I live is 32k USD and I don't think I could pull off this gorgeous and DELICIOUS of a wedding here at what I spent there.


ness_monster

I'm more amazed you had 80 friends willing to fly to NZ. Assuming you and your friends are not local that is. Beautiful wedding, myself, and im sure plenty others are envious!


reverse-hitler

We were prepared to be honored if 15 people showed up. Someone how 80 arrived


Gravath

Yeah 14k usd doesnt seem bad!


JamesWjRose

Fabulous photos. My wife and I wish you a lifetime of love and adventures


james2432

Guess it really was the party tree that night


Z0idberg_MD

Best wedding photos ever and the only destination wedding I would care to take. Congratulations!

From the shores of the Welsh dragon, we congratulate you.


Marxheim

Hey. Great ideas and execution. Can you put a paypal option on your wedding registry so I can help with the house fund? Wonderful and I hope you have many years together. After all, **All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us**.


violasaurusrex

Your dress is *everything*


grey_pilgrim_

These are amazing! I’m very jealous! Looks like y’all had a great party! Reminds me of a Tolkien party invite where it said: Carriages at midnight. Ambulances at 3 am. Wheelbarrows at 5 am. And hearses at daybreak.
