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!

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.

Lisa and Dave flew in from England for their autumn Sudbury wedding, surrounded by family and friends from New Zealand and overseas.

Lisa and her bridesmaids got ready in a house close to the seaside before heading to Sudbury, which is on the Kapiti Coast, just north of Wellington. This beautiful couple didn’t let the chilly weather get in the way of having a fabulous time, and we took the bridal party images among Sudbury’s horse paddocks and farmland.

Lisa and Dave – I wish you all the very best for your life together!

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

Daniel and Jennifer had a wedding day full of all their wishes. From the smallest details, to the biggest one – picking a venue that could provide an unforgettable entrance to their reception. Which is why this lovely couple had a Southward Car Museum wedding! The museum is just out of Wellington, in Otaihanga on the Kapiti Coast.

Jennifer applied all her natural talents as a choreographer, stylist and dancer to the concept, design and details of their wedding. And we also need to give credit to Daniel for his fantastic performance on the dance floor. As a tea lover, Jennifer had the fantastic idea of welcoming the guests with a selection of her favourite teas. I was lucky enough to try one of them – absolutely delicious. Their entrance to the reception was decorated beautifully with trees and lights.

What a day they had! I wish them all the very best for their future as husband and wife.

Many thanks to my second photographer, Jaymee Morrison, for her amazing pics and all the help she provided me on the day.

Last year, I was fortunate enough to take Daniel and Jennifer’s engagement images, also out on the Kapiti Coast.

What a beautiful day it was for Alanah and Matt’s Sudbury wedding, on Wellington’s Kapiti Coast. I’d already had the pleasure of taking photos of this lovely couple at their engagement session last year.

Alanah and her bridesmaids got ready in Sudbury’s gorgeous little cottage, overlooking horse paddocks and the nearby foothills, whereas the boys got ready elsewhere on the Kapiti Coast. The happy couple’s wedding ceremony was held outside in the hot afternoon sun, and they headed off with the bridal party for photos among the trees and around Sudbury’s hay barn.

Their reception was held in Sudbury’s stables, and Alanah and Matt had their first dance in the golden light of the evening sunset, before their family and friends hit the dance floor too!

Many thanks to my second photographer for the day, Jaymee Morrison.

It was all fun and laughter for this gorgeous couple during their down-to-earth Raumati beach wedding ceremony on the Kapiti Coast. And it couldn’t have been better than to have had the company of their furry one, Snowflake.

The day after their Waikanae Beach wedding, Pat and Nikki held a BBQ reception for their guests at their lovely place in Waikanae Beach. A very relaxed and chilled out day with blue sky, and with delicious food, drinks and sweets catered by Ruth Pretty. I wish this gorgeous couple all the happiness in the world.

Congratulations Sarah and Will! Sarah and Will’s Pukerua Bay wedding was on a lovely Kapiti Coast afternoon.

Sarah has been one of my most relaxed brides. She wanted to feel comfortable on her wedding day and for that she wore her brand new white sneakers, just fantastic! Sarah and Will got married at Will’s parents’ house in Pukerua Bay. The gorgeous property was just perfect to hold a wedding celebration. The weather was on our side, and I really enjoyed photographing this lovely couple.
