What it feels like

A gift they will unwrap slowly.
Hold for a moment before they can speak.

We married on a vineyard outside Blenheim. The print arrived a fortnight later — the actual sky above the marquee that night, our names beneath. It sits above our entrance table now.

We chose Sky & Song with the lyrics of our first dance spiralled around the stars. My husband cried when he unwrapped it. It hangs above our bed now — the song and the sky from that night.

I gave it to my wife on our first anniversary — the sky above the church we married in. She didn’t expect a print to do that to her. She keeps walking past it and stopping.

The Gift

Not a print. The sky above your vows.

The first sky
over your marriage.

Every star was in a precise position the night you were married. Our astronomy engine calculates the exact sky above the venue you said your vows in — accurate to the minute, anywhere in the world.

Your names. The wedding date. The ceremony location. The first dance and where you honeymooned. All set beneath the actual sky from the night a marriage began.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

What is Your Wedding or Engagement Night Sky print?
Your Wedding or Engagement Night Sky is an EMBER personalised print of the actual stars above the venue at the exact hour of your ceremony or proposal. Choose Wedding or Engagement in the designer; the labels on the print update to match. Couple’s names, date, time, location and (for weddings) optional first dance and honeymoon — rendered on archival fine art paper or five premium mediums. Made in Aotearoa.
How accurate is the night sky on the print?
Very. EMBER’s star positions come from the Yale Bright Star Catalog (BSC5) — the same astronomical reference Stellarium and other professional star map tools use, originally compiled from Hipparcos satellite measurements. Planetary positions are calculated from IAU Standish J2000 Keplerian orbital elements, with the equation of center applied so the planets render where they actually were — not where a circular-orbit approximation would put them. Up to 8,400 individual stars to magnitude 6.5 (the naked-eye limit in dark skies), plus all 7 planets visible above the horizon at the moment. If you compare your print to a professional star app at the same moment, the same constellations, bright stars and planets sit in the same place.
What details do I need to enter to design the print?
First pick the occasion — Wedding or Engagement. Then add couple’s names, location, date and ceremony or proposal time. For weddings, optionally add your first dance song and honeymoon destination. Add the title that sits above the sky — usually a phrase the two of you will keep. The designer pulls the exact stars for that location and hour and lays the rest into the print beneath the sky.
Can I add a poem or our first dance lyrics to the print?
Yes. Choose Sky & Poem to wrap an italic poem around the sky in concentric rings — write your own or let the AI generator draft one from a few facts about the two of you. Choose Sky & Song to do the same with the lyrics of your first dance, searched directly inside the designer.
Can I add a wedding photo to the print?
Yes. The photo layout places a wedding or engagement photo in a matching circle alongside the actual sky from the night — with your names, date and time, location, and (for weddings) optional first dance and honeymoon laid out beneath both. Two circles, one night. The photo can be a ceremony shot, an engagement portrait, or anything you have from that day.
Is this a good wedding or anniversary gift in New Zealand?
Yes — it’s a considered NZ-made wedding, engagement or anniversary gift built specifically for the night your story turned, rather than another generic gift. Made in Aotearoa, free preview, no account required. The sky is calculated for the actual venue and hour, so the wedding party, parents, grandparents, partner, or friends can mark the moment without giving more candles, vases or homeware.
How long does it take to receive a Wedding or Engagement Night Sky print?
Designing takes around 5–10 minutes in the interactive designer — no account required. Once ordered, prints are produced at full archival resolution in Aotearoa and shipped flat. Delivery anywhere in New Zealand typically takes 7–10 business days from order to door (5–7 days production + 2–3 days NZ shipping). For instant delivery, the Digital file ($65) is emailed within 24 hours.
Can I just buy the digital file and print it myself?
Yes. Choose “Digital file” in the designer and you’ll receive an A3 print-ready PDF by email within 24 hours of ordering for $65. It prints beautifully at A3 (297 × 420 mm) on any inkjet or laser printer that handles A3, and downsizes cleanly to A4 if you choose “Fit to page” at print time. You can also take the file to Warehouse Stationery, Officeworks, or any local print shop. The link is valid for 30 days — save the file somewhere safe and you can re-print as many copies as you like for personal use.
Can I get the wedding or engagement night sky print framed and ready to hang?
Yes. Choose “Framed Print” in the designer and your sky arrives mounted in a Classic timber moulding with standard glass — ready to hang the moment it’s unwrapped. Available in four sizes (A4 $120, A3 $185, A2 $250, A1 $430) and three frame colours: White, Black, or Raw oak. The print itself is the same archival fine art paper used for our Fine Art option, and the frame is professionally assembled in Aotearoa. Production takes 7–10 business days plus 2–3 days NZ delivery. The framed option is ideal for wedding, engagement, or anniversary gifts — particularly when sending the print to someone who would never frame it themselves.
