Jeff and Micaela a Waiuku wedding

Jeff and Micaela were married on a gorgeous autumn day in Waiuku's Catholic church. It was a lovely service and we later discovered, while doing the family photos, that Micaela's grandparents were neighbours - a mere 300 metres down our road! what a small world:)

We headed off to Karioitahi beach, with barely a cloud in the sky, for photos with the bridal party, and stopped off at a few of our favourite photos spots on the return trip - to the Pukeoware Hall for their wedding reception. The hall looked amazing - and was such a nice venue.

Micaela's lovely flowers were from Designer flowers Pukekohe and her gorgeous gown from Bride's Corner, Manukau City.

Thanks so much for having us along to photograph your wedding - it was such a pleasure.

Congratulations to you both again:)

Kelly and Andrew - Auckland Wedding

A quick upload of Kelly and Andrew's wedding in Auckland City recently - and what a marvellous time we all had. The best wedding service ever - in St George's Epsom - and then on to the Auckland domain for a quick photo by the "tree". However a busload of tourists very quickly got in on the act ...cameras everywhere!! No doubt our couple and the wedding party will be famous and feature on a site somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere!

Then on to Sals' Pizza in downtown Auckland - where a number of hot delicious pizzas were demolished rather quickly - then over the Harbour bridge to Northhead and Cheltenham - and then to the reception at the wonderful McHughs.

What a great day, a terrfic wedding and such a wonderful couple. Thanks so much Andrew and Kelly for allowing us to be part of your day ..

Rochelle and Mark - wedding at Castaways

Another super wedding held at Castaways recently, being that of Rochelle and Mark. My first shot of the day was of Rochelle's gorgeous ginger cat, who was wondering I imagine, what all the fuss was about, as he was removed from his perfect grassy hideaway. The gorgeous flowers were by Lisa Hamilton at Bridal Flowers. After shots of the family and attendants at home - it was then a comfortable ride via Rolls Royce down the southern motorway to Karioitahi. It wasn't long before Rochelle, who was given away by her son Lachlan ,was being piped down the lawn at the Castaways venue, towards Mark and the wedding guests at the cliff edge.

Another windy day on the West Coast and it was perfect for the glider type aircraft zipping past overhead during the perfect wedding ceremony - which was taken by Chaplain David Smith.

After family photos it was off to the beach for fun shots at the beach. Sally was again assisting for the day (thanks so much Sal) and was a wonderful help to us. She has discovered my penchant for jetplans :) and Mr Mike had to make do with what was left!

Rochelle and Mark and the wedding party were great fun and we had the best time - with some terrific images produced, a perfect mix of fun, casual, arty and classic shots. We returned to the Castaways venue later in the evening for the sunset shots and we were rewarded with colourful sunset.

Much thanks again to Rochelle and Mark and the great cast and crew at Castaways for another awesome day!

Lisa and Greg - Wedding at Castaways

Another great wedding held at Castaways recently - photographing Lisa and Greg.

It was a windy day (there have lots of those windy -type days recently!) so had a few photos at down at Karioitahi beach and the remainder at the Castaways venue and at one of our "special" locations.

Lisa looked stunning in her gown and the whole bridal party were lots of fun and looked terrific. The celebrant Seonid Horne - did a fabulous job as usual of the lovely wedding service. I enjoyed the readings during the ceremony, which were not the usual ones.

Got some fun shots too at the throwing of the bouquet and the garter retrieval/throwing.

We had a great time at Castaways - (Yes--it is our favourite venue) where the service and staff are the best in the business.

Thanks so much Lisa and Greg for allowing us to share in your day, photographing your lovely wedding.
