Tarureka Estate Wedding Photographer – Josh & Allanah’s Winter Wedding

I really love winter weddings and I always wonder why more couple don’t go down this road.  So long as you choose your venue carefully, I really think its one of the best times of the year to get married.

But, as a photographer the reason I love winter weddings is for the light! Soft winter light is the best and you also get to take sunset and night time shots without missing your party – bonus! And if rains – so much fun can be had photographing in the rain, and if its really bad then you will have chosen an awesome venue so it doesn’t matter! And if you want to you can always opt to go a ‘First Look’ as these guys did to really make the most of the time with your guests.

Allanah and Josh opted for this stress free option and oh my, was this wedding fun! I thoroughly enjoyed shooting the day, and I have to say my cheeks were hurting from laughing so much by the end of the day. I am sure the photographs will tell the story without me rabbiting on! So here they are…..
