A Church Wedding in Timaru

An Intimate Celebration of Love
A Church Wedding In Timaru, a charming coastal town in New Zealand’s South Island, offers a picturesque backdrop for any wedding. With its stunning blend of historic architecture, rolling hills, and tranquil ocean views, it’s no surprise that many couples choose this quaint destination for their special day. For those who dream of a warm and intimate wedding, the St Davids Pioneer Memorial Church just outside of Timaru provides the perfect setting.

Merci & Henry chose this setting for their special day, both from Timaru they met in high school and continued their romance through long distance while Merci was at Uni. So it was all the more special to get married back where it all began in Timaru.

After the ceremony we headed out to the rolling fields for some more photos before heading back into Timaru for a special reception at Saikou a local Japanese restaurant with the most amazing food.

Heartfelt speeches and dancing followed.

A small church wedding in Timaru is more than just an event—it’s an experience filled with love, tradition, and the beauty of simplicity. The combination of a heartfelt ceremony, stunning surroundings, and close companionship makes for a truly magical day.
