Jesse and Talia's Festival inspired wedding in Opoutere, New Zealand

Whats better than a summer festival? A festival inspired wedding! With all the people you love and not being able to stop laughing (+ crying) for most of the day.  The Opoutere forest provided the perfect spot for Jesse and Talia's big day. A ceremony where the forest meets the beach both looked and felt magical - having two different landscapes so close together meant two epic photo backdrops without venturing too far. The light coming through the trees in the forest as the sun started to dip in the sky looked like something out of a fairytale. These two were so at ease in front of the camera, they joked around and had fun together letting me snap away and capture their both their connection and their giggles. This was one of the biggest wedding days I've photographed, jam packed with personalized DIY's and additions from loving friends and family members. Being a guest as well as the photographer provided its challenges but I would not have swapped the combo for anything, I ended up having a boogie with my camera round my neck until after 11pm.

 

Thanks so much Kenrick Rhys who was amazing at taking the pressure off at times and for getting some killer shots of the boys.

Braden and Nicola's Wedding at Sorrento, Auckland

Braden and Nicola's big day was effortless and elegant from start to finish. The couple both got prepped at a high rise hotel in downtown Auckland with spectacular views over the harbour. After a close encounter in the cark park where the bride and bridesmaids had to hide from the boys behind the elevators, we headed for a first look at Cornwall Park. A couple of photos, (the bride in her trusty Redband gumboots) with the bridal party before the ceremony meant we had loads of time to chill out after the I do's and mingle with guests before heading out for a couple more golden hour shots with just the bride and groom. The reception at Sorento was full of laughter and an impressive choreographed first dance where the guests joined the fun part-way through.
