IT'S A CELEBRATION


VIDEO
We will have a videographer for our day to capture all the big things, BUT we need your help!
Please help us on the day by taking as many videos as you can. We want to be able to create beautiful memories by editing them all together.
You don't have to be a Coppola. We just want raw, candid moments of our day with all of our favourite people. Short 5 to 20 second videos are great for editing together, or something longer if you want.
Small snippets of moments, the venue, your well wishes. Videos of the table settings. The plants, the walls, the people sitting next to you, everything! Take as much as you can and send it on through to us.
​
We will have a QR code to upload all of your videos and images to on the day.
We would be so grateful.




SPEAKING OF VIDEOS..
The Proposal
L A U R E N C E
I had wanted to ask Harvest to marry me for quite some time before the actual day, April 21st, 2023, but I was too nervous (I’m a man, what can I say?). I planned to take Harvest to the gardens, her favorite place. This was also where we had our first few coffee dates to get to know each other early in our relationship. So, as usual, we went for a walk, and I was extremely nervous, wondering if she would say yes, and all the usual thoughts.
I kept fiddling with the ring in my pocket. (It was a ring from my great-grandmother, a temporary one I decided to use until we could design a ring that truly represented the love I have for Harvest.)
We walked into the glasshouse, and I thought, “I’m going to propose here.” But the feel of the space just didn’t seem right. I could feel myself starting to panic, and I’m sure Harvest could sense it too. I said, "Let's get out of here," and we walked a bit further down the path to a bench where we always sat for coffee.
This was the moment. I went for it. I said, "Let's have a dance," and Harvest looked at me, a bit puzzled. She turned around to put her jacket on the chair, and when she turned back, I was down on one knee, ring in hand. I said the words, "Harvest Powell, would you please do me the honor of marrying me?"
Harvest was silent, astonished, and seemed unsure of what to say. It felt like forever. My heart was pounding, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. But then, finally, she answered, "Yes." Everything went still, and my heart was happier than anyone could imagine.
