We had a lovely day out in VERY sunny Matamata with Shannan & Anthony at the wonderful Longlands venue – it was really REALLY hot, and they were such a great couple to work with! Shannan was SO photogenic, and Anthony was the epitome of relaxed on their day – is NICE! (It’s a private joke!)
Have a peek!

Wharewaka Point in Taupo was the scene for Cassidy & Karl’s lakeside wedding. The weather was perfect – some overhead cloud to filter the light, the joyful colours of the the bridesmaids dresses and those rich blue wedding shoes were a special touch! Thanks Cassidy and Karl, and all of your bridal group – you were all such fun to photograph!!

Selena and Darryn were married in one of the gorgeous gardens of Lichfield, south of Putaruru. Selena’s sleek red wedding dress was perfectly contrasted against the colours of the garden and the sky. This day will truly be remembered for the warmth and happiness of the bride and groom, their families, and the wonderful support and friendship of their bridal party and guests.

This year’s A & P Show fashion night dazzled with a wonderful array of fashions, music and dance, with a guest appearance by Nerida Cortese and Aaron Gilmore. The audience was wowed over and over with the brilliance of their performance. A real privilege to see!

Bobby Lee and Barry had a gorgeous spring day for their wedding, and St Faith’s church looked wonderful offset against a blue sky. We were able to take their bridal portraits as the sun was edging towards late afternoon, and the light was strong and dramatic. See our wedding gallery page for more images!!

Kathleen and Brian flew home from Melbourne to be married in their family garden. The weather was perfect (hot!) and the happy couple had an awesome bridal party, three of whom had also flown over from Oz. We spent most of the formals time out on a farm at Atiamuri – totally gobsmacking views and lots of solar flare! Fun times – thank heaps to Kathleen and Brian and their bridal party for being so obliging! (-;

We had the pleasure of being at Anahera and Louix’s wedding in Rotorua, just past the beautiful St Faith’s Church, and the historic Tamatekapua Wharenui. With this area being a part of their family ancestry, it was a really nice touch, and a wonderful area – Te Papaiouru Marae being the family marae.
They were such a *smiley* couple… nothing could spoil their day, and everyone was SO unflappable! I think that if a tidal wave came over the lake, they would have shrugged and carried on through!
We began at the Ventura Suites in Rotorua, and then made our way down to the rear of the historic St Faith’s Church in Ohinemutu where they had their ceremony, followed by lots of family pics (and a few midgies!)..
Here’s some of their wonderful images – more to come when they get them! (We can’t wait either!!)
