Metro City Wedding in the Capital

Leading up to the weekend, it had been raining in the capital.  So naturally one would prepare oneself for such weather on the big day.  So researching I did and alternative ideas I came up with but in all honesty I absolutely believed that it was going to be a beautiful sunny day.  It rained around midnight the night before the wedding and in times like these there's only one thing you can do....Pray!  And it was answered....

Rocky & Nicole's day was beautiful.  It was blue skies, bright sunshine all day.  I scoped metro locations before heading into the venue.  The first one I visited didn't feel right to me, so I continued on and discovered other gorgeous metro locations that suited the style that Nicole described to me would be her ideal and when I saw the bridesmaids walking down the aisle I knew... I picked right :)

Despite having been together for 10 years, nothing would've prepared Rocky for the sight of beauty that was to walk down the aisle on the arm of his future-father-in-law.  I believe that when bridesmaids walk down the aisle ahead of their gorgeous bride it gives the groom and everyone else an idea of what's to come and I tell you I found it difficult to keep my camera and my jaw up.  I was taken back by how gorgeous Nicole's bridesmaids were and new in that instance that Nicole was going to be a vision of perfection.  And she was....so gorgeous...I didn't recognise her or her bridesmaids.

The rest of the day followed through with such ease and little stress that you knew behind all of this were some great people organising the event.  My hat goes off to anyone planning their big day.  To everyone involved it is not an easy task.  This is one of the most precious weddings I have been to....

Here is a clip of a few images from Rocky & Nicole's beautiful wedding....Congratulations...and thank you again for allowing me to capture your day for you!!! xxx  This song was the walk-in song for Nicole.... ;)

Busy Busy Bee...

About 3 weeks ago I travelled to Auckland to visit my family (Yes I am an original blue and white :) ), and when I am in town I take advantage of the opportunity to capture some special moments of some gorgeous people.

I will be posting a few of my favourites pics from these awesome sessions.  I have reunited with some old friends and made some new ones.  Good times were had by all :)

Enjoy this Sevens weekend xxx

Favourites from 2011...

I'm preparing to head to Auckland this week for a number of family portrait sessions, an engagement session, a wedding and potentially an event.  I'm looking forward to my first lot of sessions and the wedding for 2012.
I'm excited about what my lens will capture but more so meeting new families and hopefully new friends :)

I've put together some of my favourite images from 2011.  I look forward to the many images that are waiting for me this year...

Which one of these are your favourites? :)

Stay tuned for some gorgeous images xxx

Beautiful Wedding in Masterton

What an awesome opportunity I had to witness the union of Leuma & Robyn Wilson in Masterton today.  The day started very wet and windy but that did not stop this gorgeous couple wanting to see each other for the first time in secret on their special day.  When Robyn took me to the place where she would like the photos to be taken my breathe escaped me when my eyes gazed upon nature's beauty with the oak trees leaning into each forming a tunnel over a rural road.  It was meant to be.  We later found our location to have their pictures taken after the ceremony.  It was written in the stars when I managed to find out the owner of the little paddock with a chimney standing in the middle of it and received his permission to use it.  What a blessing.

Here are some of the gorgeous images from today.....Congratulations to Leuma & Robyn xxxx

 

 

First Engagement Shoot...

It had been raining all week, I had prayed that today would be a beautiful day.  And so it was.  Not a cloud in the sky.  Though it did make it quite difficult to find the perfect shot, but I am happy with the end result all the same...

Here is a very special session with Sam & Leah who will be married in 4 weeks.  This will be a new beginning for their new family. :)

 

Summer Love and some Street

I am excited to share with you today's mini-shoot.  It was only for an hour and on a typical Wellington day.  The winds were strong.  The sun was playing games with the clouds.  And my gorgeous model was not phased at all... :)

Enjoy these gorgeous pics... :)
