Mel and Myles Wedding at Awhitu

What a full day we had - starting off down at Karioitahi - Mel and Myles had a fun adventurous start to their wedding day - being chauffeured in the Variety bash tour limo - by their wedding celebrant and well known celebrity Ewen Gilmour.
A quick photo session on the beach - and then a few stops on the way - including a bus shelter and dairy, before a another quick photo session at Awhitu.
Their wedding was held at the Awhitu Regional Park - near the Brooks homestead where many of the guests had been given roles on the trip down and had parts to play" including Frodo and Sam who had the rings , hidden in a packet of Burger rings - much to their surprise. Onto the PBC double decker bus - we travelled back to Auckland City - for a cruise around Waitemata harbour in the Soren Larsen.
A long day, a fun day - and one we won't forget in a very long time.
Congratulations Mel and Myles - Awesome time!!!
Not much swimming going on here :) but the lifeguards had a laugh!

Being Good Friday the dairy was closed - no chance for an iceblock today!
The school kids bus stop - we have no idea what the locals thought was going on

Liz and Albert




Liz and Albert were married at St Anthony’s Church in Waiuku recently. Liz and Albert’s wedding was a lot of fun and it was great to be photographing again in our local town.

We "grabbed" Liz and Albert for a private photo shoot on their way to their wedding reception on a family farm on the
Awhitu peninsula. After an awesome late afternoon photo session, high up on the hills at the very old Kohekohe Church overlooking farmland and the Tasman Sea - we headed up the peninsula to the reception.
The location photos with the bridal party were taken on the farm as the storm clouds rolled in – giving a dramatic backdrop over the stunning valley views. The girls, wearing gowns from
Modes were as stunning, as the guys were cool and we have some great photos to show you :)
The marquee was huge, with a great dance floor and the catering was from the
Spit Roast Catering company
Congratulations to Liz and Albert - a wonderful couple – All the best guys! We will catch up with you again soon.
