Claire and Mark's Wedding at Tarureka Estate

Hi All What a fantastic wedding season this year. Today I want to show you how Claire and Mark spent their St Patrick's Day this year....they tied the knot at Tarureka Estate in Featherston.

Everything about this gorgeous wedding was about the detail. There was not one stone unturned and no thought and wish unfulfilled in my opinion. It took two of us to capture the depth of this wedding to it's fullest... From custom bridesmaids bags to stunning scrapbooking and handmade doors signs. Claire and Mark together with their family and friends had a fantastic and unforgettable time creating this weekend of a lifetime to celebrate the love for each other.

With these words in mind, let's look at some beautiful proofs..

Dany and Matt's Family

I just thought to share these beautiful family photo session with you. It was one of those fantasticly calm and warm Wellington days when we had this shoot at Otari Wilton's Reserve. It was a lot of fun for the kids to explore the reserve and be photographed at the same time. A magical spot, perfect for a summer picnic to finish off with as well.

Little blossom Eve with her Korowai

Eve's nana Kenney-Jean asked me to take some images of her grand-daughter Eve a few months ago. It was a gift to her daughter-in-law for her first mothers day. Very lovely idea. Eve was such a treasure to have around. I think she also wanted to make her mum the gift of some unforgettable memories as she was just the sweetest little thing throughout the entire shoot.

Kenney-Jean brought a korowai (Maori feather cloak) with her for the shoot which was an amazing piece to capture alongside the warmth of this family.

Here some true heirlooms that will pass through this family's generations

Siblings

A few weeks ago Kerrie-Lee asked me to take photographs of her family in their home which is full of character so really suited them and their children which are equally full of character. As soon as I stepped into the place I was warmly welcomed by a big hug from Freddie, their youngest son. Then there was William their oldest and Ella their daughter which has the most amazing ginger hair and porcelain complexion.

The nice thing was that the three siblings got on really well which created a great upbeat atmosphere.

Here some of the most gorgeous favourites
