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!

Nathan and Rachael were married down on the Wellington waterfront, at Foxglove’s Queens Wharf Ballroom. After their Foxglove wedding, they had their bridal party images taken at the Botanic Garden and outside the old Parliamentary Library. And they didn’t let a little bit of typical autumn Wellington rain get in the way of them having a wonderful time!

Nathan and Rachael, I wish you all the very best for your life together.

I was also fortunate enough to have the chance to take the engagement images of this lovely couple a few months earlier.

Dani and Hadi had an intimate wedding in the top floor suite at the Bolton Hotel with a small number of family and friends, including Hadi’s father, who had flown out from Italy for the wonderful occasion. After their Bolton Hotel wedding ceremony, we headed down to the Wellington waterfront for some images.

I wish Dani and Hadi a fabulous new life together!

What an amazing day this was for a Zealandia wedding! Simon and Jade got hitched in the middle of a beautiful native bush setting – Zealandia ecosanctuary. It was all about friends, family, love and plenty of smiles. And an occasional photobomb from a cheeky Pukeko!

Simon and Jade, I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love.

It is a real joy to share a few images of Ben and Brooke’s Wellington City wedding. Needless to say that the day was very special. It was great to feel connected to so many people there, because I had earlier photographed their engagement session at some of their favourite places in Welly, and over a year ago I had photographed Brooke’s sister Courtney’s Boomrock wedding, to another Ben!

The ceremony was at the beautiful St John’s in the City, and the reception was at Prefab.

All the day’s pretty touches were designed and arranged by them with the help of their family and friends. And most importantly, Ben designed and made Brooke’s wedding band himself. See if you can spot it on the Pontiac’s dashboard …

Ben and Brooke, huge congratulations again, I wish you a lifetime full of joy and adventures together.

Many thanks to Kylie Cornwell who was my second shooter.

Chris and Heidi chose a natural setting to hold their relaxed and beautiful wedding ceremony, the Wellington Botanic Gardens. And what better place for tying the knot in the middle of summer than among the trees and the green foliage – after all, trees symbolise unity and love.
Chris and Heidi, I wish you all the best!

Many thanks to Kylie Cornwall for all her help.

This lovely midday wedding took place at Old St Paul’s in Thorndon, one of the greatest heritage places that Wellington offers. Steve and Lisa had an intimate and relaxed ceremony where Steve’s kids played a big part. The bridal party images were taken in the grounds of the Parliament Library building which was just perfect for the three kids so they could also have a lot of fun. And after that, the newly wed couple headed off to the Backbencher for a delicious lunch with family and friends.
Steve and Lisa I wish you all the best!

Mark and Adele celebrated their very special day at one of the most beautiful hidden treasures in the city – the Chapel of Futuna. Its fantastic large geometric stained glass windows allowed through beautiful small patches of light, even on that rainy day. It was so great to work with Mark and Adele, they make such a fantastic couple. Adele looked stunning, and Mark looked really sharp too. It was also great to meet their family and friends who all played a special part in their Futuna Chapel wedding and the rest of their special day.

Preparation: Bolton Hotel | Makeup Artist: Kate Boyd
Ceremony Venue: Futuna Chapel | Celebrant: Kylie Welch | Flowers: Beautiful Flowers
Reception Venue: Dockside

A few weeks earlier, I had the pleasure of doing an engagement shoot session for this lovely couple.

Indian weddings are full of so many small details. They are colourful, fun and vibrant. Devang and Reena had all of that. Their small wedding ceremony at Devang’s home will be followed by a big one in London later on this year. Here in New Zealand they were surrounded by close family and friends, including some who flew from the UK. After their beautiful and traditional Indian wedding ceremony, this gorgeous couple exchanged their vows in a brief civil ceremony. Then we headed off to Pauatahanui Inlet to take some images.

Devang and Reena, it was lovely photographing your NZ ceremonies, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
