Daniel + Erica :: 14 January 2010 :: Married!

2011-02-02T01:45:00.000-08:00

Daniel and Erica were married on a perfect sunny day at Cassels, tucked away in the Waitakeres. I was lucky enough to be joined by the talented Katrina Elton from Williams Photography, as Delwyn was getting married the next day.
I went to university with Daniel [we studied Graphic Design together], and I honestly don't know who was more excited on the day, Daniel or me! :)
After a beautiful ceremony, celebratory hugs with guests and a few formal family photos, we cruised around Cassels taking photos, and then headed out on an adventure down the road to get some 'dreamy, romantic, fun' photos in a field and forest.
The day was finished off eating gorgeous food, listening to heartfelt [and funny!] speeches, dancing and celebrating with friends and family.
Congratulations Daniel and Erica, you two are perfect for each other, and i'm so happy for you both!

Kalpna and James were married a week before Christmas at the gorgeous Delamore Lodge on Waiheke Island. They are originally from England, so family flew in from England and America to celebrate with them. It was a cosy affair, James and Kalpna were married on the stairs inside the Lodge, while the rain trickled away outside.
We so enjoyed spending the day with them, and getting to know the family, we felt sad to leave at the end of the day! I think we will need to plan a trip to England to visit new friends we've made...
Thanks so much for allowing us to share your day with you Kalpna and James, it was amazing!

Kalpna + James :: December 2010 :: Engaged! :: Auckland Wedding Photographers

Kalpna and James were married on 17 December 2010 [and yes, you'll see those photos soon!], but here is a taste of what's to come! Gorgeous Kalpna and the ever so lovely James met up with Delwyn and I for an engagement shoot at Stanley Bay in Devonport. Although a tad windy, the light was gorgeous, and we had so much fun, it left us counting down the days until we could photograph them again!
Congratulations Kalpna and James, you are just perfect for each other!

Toni + Jarrod :: 25 November 2010 :: The Day After :: Rarotongan Wedding Photography

2010-12-08T12:07:00.000-08:00

Toni and Jarrod decided to have another shoot the day after their wedding, when the sun was a bit lower in the sky, to capture the delicious light, and something a wee bit different to their wedding day.
We had fun cruising around Aitutaki taking photos, being watched by the locals, who thought Toni looked amazing and were intrigued to watch the photoshoot.
We had an absolute blast, thanks again Toni and Jarrod for an amazing day, and day after!

Toni and Jarrod were married on gorgeous One Foot Island, in Aitutaki, Rarotonga two weeks ago.

The day dawned bright, beautiful and HOT! Over 35 degrees, with at least 80% humidity!

We were taken over from Aitutaki by boat to One Foot Island, where the bride arrived by speedboat and Toni and Jarrod exchanged vows on the gorgeous white coral sand shores of the island.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch, with the Ika Mata [raw fish] dish being my favourite!

We had a chance to take a few quick photos around the island, before hopping back on the boat to go to the Sand Bank, where we took a few more photos, then Toni and Jarrod joined their guests for a swim, as it was just so hot, and why not?!

The next day we met up again for another photo shoot, so keep watch on the blog for the next installment....

Thanks Toni and Jarrod for inviting me to spend your wedding day with you, it truly is paradise over there, i've never seen anything like it! I need to go back!....

Because it was SO incredibly hot, Toni and Jarrod decided to spend the last 15 mins of their location shoot time hopping in the water and having a swim with their friends, the water was SO good! :)

Naomi + Matt :: 20 November 2010 :: Wedding :: Auckland Wedding Photography

2010-12-07T20:53:00.000-08:00

Naomi and Matt have been friends for years, and realised perhaps there was some romance there [of course after everyone had been telling them this for AGES!], and they were right! They married on an overcast Saturday, perfect light for photo taking, and the perfect temperature for a November wedding.

The ceremony was so lovely, with Matt saying some really heartfelt words before his vows that even had me tearing up! Naomi is a primary school teacher, and even invited her [very excited] class to the wedding, who were only too eager to congratulate the couple outside the church.

We headed off to Cornwall Park and then Stanley Bay for some fun photos. We photographed Matt's brother Jono's wedding a couple of years ago, so we knew that we were in for an extremely fun filled day of celebrating!

Matt planned the honeymoon and kept it a secret from Naomi on the day, but I was privvy to the information upon leaving the ceremony, since I was going to be in the same location at the same time! Rarotonga! We caught up for a relaxing day swimming, eating and being generally silly on Aitutaki [Naomi and Matt flew over for the day to hang out], and finished off with a sunrise shoot before they headed back over to Raro. It was so much fun, and it's not everyday that you get to honeymoon with your wedding photographer!

Congratulations Naomi and Matt! You two are awesome!
