Sorrento Auckland NZ Wedding

This was one of those weddings where we had it all... a beautiful bride, handsome groom, large bridal party, well behaved flowergirls & pageboys, a stunning setting & the weather behaved itself for just long enough!!!
The whole thing was held at Sorrento in Auckland's Cornwall Park, which is a great venue.
Then we had the whole park to do the photos in so it was great.
I love the first one ... it seems to have a magical feel to it in black & white ... these guys were so co-operative with all the photos.
The second one with the whole Bridal party was taken just to the right of where the first one was.
It was great having so many people to play with & all the black outfits contrasted so nicely with the green surroundings & the Bride's dress.
Check out www.AFPNZ.com for a great video trailer from the day & also their very cool first dance.
So thats it for my first post of the New Year... I hope you are all having a good one.
Cheers,
Faith.

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.

February Wedding 3

This was such a great wedding... even though it was the middle of summer & it hadn't rained for weeks this day it poured down !!!
Everyone took it in their stride though & although it was supposed to be an outdoor wedding in the vineyard & 100+ people had to squash into the winecellar (very small) it was just great.
At first I was a bit freaked out about how to do the bridal photos as there wasn't too many options ... but I took it as a challenge & ended up with some really great creative shots which were totally different to what I usually do.

As always plenty more at www.afpnz.com & www.afpnz.co.nz

Next week there will be 2 brand new weddings & then I'll be back to counting down to the most recent from the summer.
Cheers,
Faith

March Wedding 3

Our first wedding with a Tea Ceremony... they had a traditional Catholic service & then went back to the hotel for the Tea Ceremony.

It was great.

They were such a lovely couple & their families were awesome ... we got some of the most beautiful photos of everyone in the party.

Then at the reception the bride changed into another beautiful dress & looked stunning again.

They were a fun couple & we all really enjoyed our day.

December Wedding 3

On the 23rd December this couple was married in Hastings, NZ.

A formal church wedding with their own music it was a beautiful service with lots of family & friends in attendance.

They had their reception at one of the local vineyards which was an absolutely beautiful setting.

They are a great couple & seem set to succeed in all they set out to do.

Both the families were also lovely people & such proud parents on both sides.
