Otaki Wedding Photographer – The Milk Station, Kelly & Lyle

2017-02-17T00:14:02+13:00

Otaki Wedding Photographer - The Milk Station, Kelly & Lyle   OMG - this wedding was simply stunning! I had seen lots of lovely weddings from The Milk Station, but was yet to photograph a wedding there. When Kelly emailed to let me know that they had changed the venue for their wedding and that is was going to be The Milk Station and was just a little excited! Just before Christmas I met with Kelly over there to check it out and it didn't disappoint! This wedding was always going to be absolutely gorgeous with Kelly and her creative talents, but it now all had the perfect setting! Roll on January and this wedding was every bit as perfect as what I had hoped for. Kelly & Lyle were so incredibly sweet together - you could see just how much they meant to each other. Andf having their two small [...]

Wairarapa Wedding Photographer – Jackie & Con’s wedding at Poppies, Martinborough

2018-01-30T00:05:58+13:00

Wairarapa Wedding Photographer - Jackie & Con's wedding at Poppies, Martinborough   What an absolutely stunning day this turned out to be! Up until about three weeks prior to the date we had no idea if the wedding was going ahead or not. Con had had an accident a few months prior and when Jackie let all the vendors know they were not sure if he would be recovered enough in time for the big day. We were are very relaxed about it and happy to go ahead at a moments notice or postpone if needed. Jackie and Con decided to go ahead and they really couldn't have picked a better day for it! It was one of those typical Martinborough summers days, beautiful warm sunshine all day! Jackie got ready surrounded by family - everyone pitching in to help make the day run smoothly. Jackie looked incredible but not [...]

NZIPP Iris Awards 2016

2021-03-23T20:50:53+13:00

NZIPP Iris Awards 2016 It had been quite a while since I had entered the NZIPP Iris Awards for one reason or another. So this year I decided to give it a go. I have to admit I was pretty nervous as it is not easy getting an award at Iris and it had been such a long time...... Oh well I figured why not! And then spent weeks agonising over what to enter, getting the prints right and all the other things that things that you worry about! The thing is although it takes a lot of time, a lot of mental energy and also a very patient and supportive family (thanks Glen for listening to me going on about it for weeks!), I always learn so much about my work by going through the process. It always help to lift it up a notch. So even if [...]

Last minute wedding planning – Sam & Michael

2016-05-15T03:42:47+12:00

Last minute wedding planning - Sam & Michael Sam contacted me around two weeks before the date they were planning on having their midweek wedding. It was a last minute decision for herself and Micheal. As we were checking out the stunning lakeside location for their ceremony, she told me that they had been engaged for a while now and although they had put plans in place for a wedding before, things just kept coming up which would put pay to it all! So they decided to ditch the idea of a big wedding and opted for just a small gathering of just their closest family and friends. And the decided that the sooner the better! Luckily Sam and her bridesmaid already had their dresses, the location was a beautiful spot on the farm where Micheal works and they would have a dinner at home afterwards. The only things to [...]

Brackenridge, Martinborough Wedding Photography – Andrew & Rachael

2016-05-30T21:27:39+12:00

Brackenridge, Martinborough Wedding Photography - Andrew & Rachael Brackenridge Country Estate in Martinborough is one of my favourite venues to photograph at. Rachael and Andrew choose this lovely spot for their wedding day celebrations back in December. As part of Rachael's work she plans events and it showed in the attention to detail throughout the wedding! Because of Rachael's meticulous planning the whole day went without a hitch - the only person who didn't get the memo was the Wairarapa weather gods and we were blessed with the wind! It didn't seem to faze anyone though! The day was very special for Rachael and Andrew - they spend a lot of their time travelling with work so its not often that both families get together. Rachael comes from a family of four girls - being the last one to get married. So, who better to have as your bridesmaids than your three sisters who [...]

Brackenridge Wedding Martinborough – Ali and Andrew

2016-03-18T02:26:04+13:00

Brackenridge Wedding Martinborough - Ali and Andrew   Ali and Andrew were married in at the lovely Brackenridge Country Estate in Martinborough. I love working at Brackenridge - it is such a beautiful rustic location, and there are so many opportunities for photographs. So many, that Ali and Andrew decided make the most of it and have all their picture taken onsite. These guys were just so lovely! The day was all about family and hanging out with the people who are important to them. Ali opted to do away with tradition and have her two brothers as bridesmen. I have to say I was so impressed - they certainly did an amazing job taking care of Ali. And the attention to detail - they were always there helping out with the dress! She couldn't have asked for more! Andrew and his groomsmen were so much fun - I though I [...]
