A few favourites from Vicki and Chris's wedding at Belsaas. .......

Vicki and Chris

Vicki and Chris were married recently at Belsaas Estate in Ardmore. It was a very hot day – with gray clouds threatening rain and the air was thick with humidity, when Vicki and her three bridesmaids arrived in a beautiful Daimler from First class classics.
Vicki and the girls looked stunning! Vicki’s lovely gown was by Susan Tasker and Hair and Makeup by D’aguiar . Chris and the boys looked very handsome in their suits from Dress Circle . (I think they were a bit surprised I remembered their names - I especially remember the cheeky ones.....)
Mike Bailey conducted the wedding service and after signing the marriage certificate and quick photos family photos – we headed to the kiwifruit vines for some fun wedding party shots. Before long it was time for Vicki and Chris to make their entrance as husband and wife at their reception at Belsaas.
Thanks so much Vicki and Chris - we have some lovely shots... - We will catch up soon . Congratulations!

Donna and Chris

Another lovely wedding held at Castaways Karioitahi recently. Donna and Chris were a great couple and lots of fun. Donna's gorgeous black dress was sourced north of Auckland at Orewa from - Chocolates for Breakfast (just the name encourages me to visit!) A surprise for Chris, (although he had suspected the dress would be different:) ) when they met prior to their wedding for a fun photo session at the beach. Donna loves animal prints and the setting at the wedding reception at Castaways was gold, black with a splash of animal print - including the cake - from Celebration Cakes in Manukau City. Donna's flowers were another totally original design from Scent "World famous in South Auckland" for the stunningly different floral designs they produce.

It was a very breezy day on the sunset coast- and I was quite relieved that Greer Dyson - (Donna and Chris's celebrant) had not worn one of her famous hats... I think it would have ended up way down the cliff in the surf and eventually made its way to the Australian Gold Coast ! Also - it was not a great day for "short" flowy dresses.... if you had a handbag in one hand and a glass in the other :)

A ring "warming" was carried out while Chris and Donna said their vows and the ladies present at the wedding were all given a beautiful red rose..

It was good to catch up with Donna and Chris the following day, with their beautiful daughters and take some family photos with Dick at Papakura.
