We started the photo session before the ceremony to give more time for Deb and Gordon to spend with their family and friends. And check out the awesome colourful “I Love You” shirt that Gordon bought in London for their special day, which he surprised Deb with after the ceremony!

It’s always a bit hard selecting just a few images to post from a wedding, especially one as nice as this one. Tarureka Estate in Featherston was the perfect venue for Dave and Claire to tie the knot. Among the family and friends helping them to celebrate their special day were lots of kids, some of who played a big part as flower girls and page boys – others just had fun blowing bubbles!

Dave and Claire love bicycles so it was no surprise they had a bike at their Wairarapa wedding, and they definitely put it to good use for some great shots in the surrounding countryside. And the wedding cake(s) were baked by the bride and groom, with the help of some friends. How cool is that?

Dave and Claire, I wish you all the best for your life together!

Sam and Tyrone were married at the fabulous Milk Station, a Tuscany-inspired venue with stunning European gardens. And all of this just outside of Otaki on the Kapiti Coast!

The wedding ceremony was made extra special by incorporating a number of elements from Sam and Tyrone’s family members – both past and present. Sam’s mother’s crown, which her mother had worn under her veil on her wedding day, was part of Sam’s bouquet – an unexpected surprise for her mum. And the succulents and native plants in the bouquet came from the gardens of her two grandfathers – both now passed away. Also, Tyrone’s brother surprised Tyrone with their late father’s ring – a very special memento for him to carry on the day.

The wedding reception, also at the Milk Station, was simply heaps of fun, featuring lots of jars filled with Lego! The guests managed to make some pretty creative Lego designs – some of them you can see below.

Sam and Tyrone, it was a real pleasure photographing your special day, and I wish you all the very best for your life together as husband and wife!

What an incredible wedding this one was! I met Nathan and Sarah over a year ago now when they flew from Oz to look at Boomrock as a choice for their wedding venue, and I’m glad they decided to celebrate their wedding there. Sarah is also a very keen photographer so working together for their creative images was a lot of fun. This beautiful couple had the great honour of having Nathan’s 95-year-old grandfather flying from Oz to be present on their special day.

Sarah and Nathan, I wish you all the best!

This lovely couple had two weddings, one here in New Zealand and one in the UK, where Holly is originally from. The wedding in NZ was held at Boomrock, and it was a small and intimate ceremony and celebration. Jared and Holly’s family and friends enjoyed a bit of golf, clay bird shooting, and the spectacular view that Boomrock offers, despite it being a rainy Monday.

There were two things that made their day truly special and unique: Jared and Holly’s gorgeous one-eyed rescue dog, Gunner, was with them all throughout the day, and their wedding rings were passed around all the guests during the ceremony.

Jared and Holly, I wish you all the very best for your UK celebrations, and for your life together!

Georgia and Mitch came across from the Gold Coast for their wedding at Poppies, a lovely venue among the grapevines in Martinborough, just over the hill from Wellington, in the Wairarapa.

It’s been a while since my last blog post, and so much has happened since then. I’ve started the wedding season with a beautiful winter wedding, for a lovely couple who flew from the UK to get hitched here in Wellington. Jasmine and Matthew, and their very friendly bridal party, had a wonderfully happy time despite the cold and windy weather. After their beautiful ceremony, which was given by a Salvation Army celebrant – whose wedding I happened to photograph in Wanganui a few years back – we all went to The Library Bar for more fun moments, helped along by some delicious cocktails. What a cool place to have your wedding reception! And, that fantastic wedding cake was designed and baked by Matthew’s aunt and brought from the South Island on the ferry.

Many thanks to Deanna Walker who was my second photographer on the day!

Donna and Steve were married at Sudbury, which is set amongst farmland on the Kapiti Coast, a short drive north of Wellington. Donna and her bridesmaids got ready in the cute little cottage on the property. After their Sudbury wedding ceremony, Donna and Steve made the most of the evening light for their bridal party images.

I also had the great pleasure of photographing this lovely couple’s engagement session a few weeks earlier, also on the Kapiti Coast, but down on the beach.

Thanks very much to Kim Hunter, who was my second photographer for the day.
