Anjuli and Oliver

Hi Everyone

What amazing summer season we had – especially when you take a look at the stunning seaside ceremony of Anjuli and Oliver!

Oliver and his groomsmen overnighted on his yacht. I checked up on them in the magical calm sunny morning of Oli’s wedding day and thought it was THE way to start a great day (if you love sailing that is!)

Anjuli and the girls relaxed, chatted and got ready in Anjuli’s home.

The ceremony took place in Wahine Park on Wellington South coast – One of my all time favourite spots! That combined with the dutch-kiwi culture brought a lot of dutch traditions alongside simply great ideas like gourmet ice-creams for everyone – Perfect idea on a hot and sunny day!!

Enjoy reliving their day.. Continue reading

Hannah and Tom’s Wedding

Hi Everyone,

Here some highlights of Hannah and Tom’s beautiful wedding.

The ceremony took place at one of my favourite churches in Wellington, The Sacred Heart Cathedral.

The reception and photo shoot took place at the picturesque setting of Ohariu Farm. This venue does not only shine with its rolling hills and amazing evening sun but also offers an increasingly beautiful reception venue. Thanks for having us Jude!

Hannah and Tom have been together for around 10 years already and have now tied the knot to celebrate their love for each other with their closest family and friends. It was a magical day for everyone!

To the topic bridesmaids, I have to say Hannah had the sweetest and most helpful bunch. We were joking on the day how she must have had the criteria of “You’ve got to be blonde and look like you could be my sister!” when she made her choice in that. These girls were just great together which is something I wanted to capture for them..

Enjoy their wedding day stills:

Marisa and John’s Wedding

Hi There

Marisa and John’s wedding was a few weeks ago. I joined them just before the ceremony at The Boatshed and it was great to see the mingling of cultures…The Cook Islanders where present and reflected Marisa’s side of the family and the Irish flew in for John’s. So really nice to hear the different accents. Combined with my Giwi-accent (aka German Kiwi) we had a lot of fun trying to understand each other…haha.

Everything was buzzing and full of life giving me loads of candid moments to capture….so let’s take a look and get a feel for their day..

 

The littlies arrived and hit it off with this cute-as giggling session..

Interestingly enough I also found the time to photograph birds (outside of the wedding love birds ;-) I had a few moments in between so kept my eyes open and connected with those seagulls..

Zoe and Matthew’s Wedding

Hi Everyone

How are you? It’s been a busy few weeks wrapping up the wedding season and exhibiting at The Wellington Wedding Show last Sunday. It was great seeing many of you there, thanks for coming by!

The nicest end to the day was when I won the “Best Stand competition for the Capture Category (Photographers/Videographers)” which was great feedback from the industry…

Today I’d like to share Zoe and Matthew’s wedding with you.

The energy and harmony between them is really contagious and passionate which is something you will see throughout their wedding story. I loved every minute of photographing them as many things unfolded so naturally throughout the day..

Their ceremony was at the Magpie lawn at the Otari Wilton’s Bush. It’s a magical spot for a garden ceremony.

So let’s start with the shoes (or the getting ready..) Midnight blue hot heels indeed!!

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..

Wei and Shanshan’s Wedding

Hi Everyone,

Wei and Shanshan’s wedding was a few weeks ago and very beautiful. Both being chinese it was amazing to see how the chinese and kiwi culture blended into each other.

They had their marriage ceremony at the Old St. Pauls followed by an evening reception at the Grand Century Restaurant on Tory St.  which is one of my locals as our studio is just up the road! The food was amazing, fresh and healthy and everyone had a fantastic time as you will see proven now..

Hayley and Stuart’s Wedding

Hello Everyone,

Today I’d like to share Hayley and Stuart’s wedding day with you. We were really lucky and had some fantastic weather which is wonderful when you plan an outdoor ceremony at Ohariu Farm!
If you are watching TV here and there watch out for Ohariu Farm latest TV advert which features Hayley and Stuarts wedding and some of these shots. Star spotting indeed!

But let’s start from the first minute I spent with them in Hayley’s beautiful tranquille family home in Whitby. Her parents place is gorgeously overlooking the Whitby estuary and simply bathed in sun.

Hayley and Stu’s colour scheme was yellow….such a great choice but yet so rare.

Kellie and Phil’s Wedding

 

Hello Everyone,

Time to show how I spent my days lately! Remember this wild weather Saturday a few weeks ago? I do and Kellie and Phil do even more as it was their wedding day. And it was FANTASTIC. I actually think the weather made it even more cozy, cuddly and passionate…but more to that as I tell you their story..

Their wedding was at the very picturesque Pauatahanui church St Alban’s followed by a photo shoot around the greatest spots of Whitby and finished off by a beautiful sing-a-song reception at the Paremata Boating Club

So let’s start with the Getting Ready…here her gorgeous shoes which she loved so much she wore them even when she had her make-up and hair done!
