August Wedding 4

WOW!! This was a fabulous wedding.

The bride was one of the nicest people we've ever met & the groom was just great.

We had a fantastic time right from when we got to the brides place to get photos of her & the bridesmaids getting ready.

The bridesmaids were all gorgeous & SO funny!

The bride went out of her way to get into her dress so that we could take some lovely photos of her in it well before she was ready to go.

They had a lovely church service at a really beautiful little church.

We didn't have a lot of time for the photos but everyone was so co-operative we got through it no trouble & ended up with some truly wonderful pictures.

Everyone at this wedding went out of their way to make us feel like we were part of the family & we were quite reluctant to go home at the end.

During the speeches everyone that spoke also sang a song which was really awesome.

I was just pleased that we didn't have to sing ... as I am tone deaf & couldn't sing in tune to save myself!!!

It was a wonderful day all round.

This bride truly captures the essence of the saying Big is Beautiful.

She looked absolutely stunning & had the most awesome personality to go with it.

She had chosen the perfect dress stylish, elegant & the bridesmaids dresses were an awesome shocking blue colour that set off the brides dress perfectly & the 2 little flowergirls were so cute with their little fake fur wraps.

Unfortunately Aucklands weather was not playing the game this day & we had to cut the portrits short at the park due to rain, cold & wind.

But we found a nice quiet corner at the reception & finally got some nice pictures of the happy couple... they were fantastic with all the goings on & hassle of the wet day they carried on smiling right throught to the last picture.

August Wedding 2

One of the most beautiful weddings we have ever done... the combination of the bright pink bridesmaids dresses with the Brides white dress & the guys black suits really was stunning.

Another day when the weather gods smiled on us at just the right time.

It had been showery all day & when we went to check out the location for the photos it was windy, wet & miserable... by the time we went to do the photos it had cleared a bit.

Then half way through it rained then stopped, right then I saw the most beautiful rainbow .... so I made the couple run out to the middle of the beach right under it with their umbrella & got the BEST photo.

It was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity & I wasn't about to lat it get away!

They were all such good sports we had them on the beach freezing cold, in bare feet, climbing on the rocks, hiding from the rain, wading throught the surf to get to the rocks.

And it was all so worth it as we got some really great photos.

They were both lovely people & we hope they have an idyllic life together as they were both so sweet.

August Wedding 1

This was a fabulous family wedding.

We were really lucky with the weather... when we got to Auckland it was raining & windy half hour prior to the service it all cleared up & by the time we got to the park to do the photos it was a beautiful day.

The entire bridal party were just fantastic, they ran, jumped & did all sorts of crazy things so we could get some really great photos.

The newly weds were such lovely people, very relaxed & so happy to be married it was nice to see a couple that was so supportive of each other.

At the reception kids ran riot, there was Tongan dancing, funny speeches & just a nice family atmosphere.

In all it was very much a warm fuzzy wedding.... oh & the groomsmen were as funny as a fit, as you can see in some of the group photos!!
