Fairytale Wedding NZ

This really was like a Fairytale wedding.

We had the beautiful princess bride, an awesome woodland setting & of course the handsome prince!

Set in the outstanding Pararie Holm Gardens south of Featherston, it was just a magical day.

I shot the first photo just before the sun set & the series turned out just the way I wanted it to, so I was stoked. The second one we went down to the lake for a few minutes with just the Bride & Groom & got some awesome photos with the old car they had.

They held their reception in an army tent under the pine trees & it was the perfect finish to a woinderful day.

I know I've been a slacker on the updating front... but normal service should resume next week!!! :-)

Cheers for now,

Faith.

Wildernness Wedding

This seemed like an unlikely place for a wedding ... it is the site of an old quarry & now is a 42 acre gardens & scuplture park.
However it was an absolutely stunning set to get married in.
The wedding had a 40's airman theme & they had taken great trouble to keep the theme going throughout the whole day.
The Bridesmaids had flapper cocktail style dresses, the boys had Biggles hats & goggles & the invitations were done in the form of airline tickets.
It was really well though out & made for a unique event.
We did all the photos at the park ... as there was plenty of room to choose from!!
They were a great couple & bridal party to work with & we even had an audience comprised entirely of cows at one stage.
They then had their reception at an airport hanger at the Hamilton airport .... which fitted in perfectly with the overall feel of the day.
A great time was had by all.
Plenty more to see & watch at www.AFPNZ.com

Crazy Cool Fun Wedding

This wedding was so much fun... the couple had come back from the UK to get married in thier hometown of Napier.

She was one of the funniest Brides we've ever had, between her & the bridesmaids we were in hysterics all morning... & they were all so laidback about everything.

The ceremony was the Mission Estate at Napier & I bet it's the first time they have had a Bride get into thier fountain!!!

He was really cool to, just went along with everything & kept on smiling all day. We got some great photos of him & the groomsmen prior to the service, which was a bit of a treat for us!

Then when we went to do the Bridal party photos after the service the whole lot of them got into the act. :-)

We all had a great time & meet heaps of really nice people, both their families were so nice.

Another wonderful day was had by all.

Irish Catholic Beach Wedding

Well, it's not every day we get a couple that has flown all the way round the world to get married on the beach in the Hawkes Bay!!

They found our website on the internet ... booked & came out trusting that we were A) for real & B) would show up for their big day:-)

As it was the Hawkes Bay produced an absolutely stunning day... everyone got sunburnt & it was the most beautiful intimate wedding with a total of 11 attendees.

After the ceremony we went up Te Mata Peak to do more photos & by sheer chance there were paragliders up there & one had a purple sail that exactly matched the wedding colours!!

Awesome!!!

They were such a cool couple too, the Groom did so well in his suit in the sweltering (especially for them) heat & the Bride was just radiant.

A fabulous day was had by everyone.

As always plenty more to see including the Movie trailer at www.AFPNZ.com

Cheers for now,

Sarnia Park Cambridge Wedding

This was another wedding at the beautiful Sarnia Park just outside of Cambridge.
We had a beautiful day & a fun bridal party, who were very good about walking heaps in the heat.
The first photo was one of the last ones we took before the reception started... they are stading on the wall outside the reception hall.
The Bride had the most awesome champagne coloured dress & she looked stunning.
The Bridesmaids dresses were also really cool, long & chocolate brown.
The boys went with the always popular black on black with brown ties.
The second picture is one of my favorite ring photos ... if you look closely you can see the Groom's reflection in the rings.
Well, I have plenty to update this week so check for more tomorrow.
Cheers,
Faith.

Forest Wedding

Well this was a beautiful wedding...
Held in a park next to Otorohanga's Kiwi House.
It was a great setting ... there was a bit of consternation about the weather as it started drizzling just before the bride was due to arrive, all the guests had their brollies out.
But the wet held off & the service went ahead as planned under the gaint pine trees.
Afterwards we went into the foresty part for the photoshoot & got some brilliant pictures.
The bridesmaids were so good they were freezing cold but they kept on smiling the whole way through & the Brides parents were the official brolly holders & kept up all the way through.
As for the groomsmen they were funny as a fit ... especially when we loaded them into the van on the way to the reception & I told them I only had a learner's liscence ... talk about backseat drivers!!!
All in all a great day was had by all.

Elegant Auckland Wedding

Hi There,
well here are a couple of photos from Adrian's elegant & sophisticated wedding last Saturday.
They were quite a young couple, but she looked just like a 50's movie star.
The ceremony & reception were at Butterfly Creek in Auckland & then the bridal party headed off to the Botannical gardens for the portrait shoot.
The boys had a great time with the whole group & they had one of the best behaved flowergirls we've ever encountered :-)
Both of us really love this second shot ... it seems to have a Hollywood quailty about it.
All in all a great day was had by all.
Plenty more photos & the Movie Trailer to see at www.afpnz.com
The DVD has turned out absolutely superb.
Cheers for now ,
Faith.

Laidback Raglan Beach Wedding

Well this was one of the most casual weddings I ever been to.... it was all about being relaxed & enjoying time with their family & friends for these guys.

The bride was so lovely & was just so happy to be getting married that she wasn't going to let anything bother her.

They had planned on an outdoor hilltop ceemony, but the weather was a little diffident so they settled for the verandha of the surf club, which worked out just fine.

After we went down to the beach for the bridal party photos, lovely walk down the hill.... bit of a struggle on the way back with all the gear. :-)

Everyone was having a fantastic time the whole day.... which is what a wedding should be coming together with your family & friends to CELEBRATE one of the most important milestones in your life.

OK... rant over ... tomorrow will be Adrian's elegant, sophisticated wedding.

Cheers for now,

Faith.

Rock On Auckland Wedding

We had an awesome weekend with 3 weddings... they were all quite different & all fantastic.
These photos are from Fridays.
This was a great wedding with 3 of my favorite things...
1) Rock music,
2) Stunning Bride,
3) Candles.

This first photo I just love as it was a lowlight shot which I love doing & it was one of those times where you couldn't plan it better.
The second one is another of my asthetic fetishes... Brides & mirrors... what can I say ... its cool.

We have plenty more excellent pictures from the day at www.go4photos.com & video at www.afpnz.com
We all had a great day with these guys... the boys photo shoot before the wedding was an absolute riot, they were great.
Then the girls all looked so beautiful & elegant, they were all a real credit to their family.
So tomorrow there will be pics from my extremely laid back beach wedding & then Wens some of Adrian's from his sophisicated elegant wedding.
Cheers for now,
Faith

Cambridge NZ Wedding

Saturday was on of the rare occassions that we did a wedding in our hometown of Cambridge... usually we are running around all over the country.
They were a great young couple so we got some really funky photos of the 2 of them.
This first one we took on the staircase before the service, then they got married right in front of it.
In the second one we had him pick her up & twirl her ... love it when we get a groom that can lift his bride easily! :-) He spun so much he got dizzy & we had to stop it before he fell over.... An awesome day was had by all & the weather was in our favour for once.
More tomorrow,
Cheers,
Faith.
