Once upon a beautiful Taranaki Saturday…. the breathtaking Katie and her handsome James said “I do”  amongst their closest friends and family.  Set in the gorgeous Oak Valley Gardens, we were spoilt with sunshine, laughter and all those things that make memories happy.  We mixed the river with the land and a touch of ocean breeze…. having a bunch of fun along the way for the creative shoot, and our beautiful Mountain blessed them with his presence.  Thanks for being so gorgeous and for the endless belly laughs…. xx

HAPPINESS IS……  This totally gorgeous – inside and out – twosome, wed on a friend’s breathtaking Hawera property last weekend.  So much laughter and L O V E!  We started at their home with Ross and his men getting rather handsome-ed up, on to the ladies who were in total cruise mode, then to the ceremony with sweeping green fields and old garden perfection.  The creative was super relaxed at the local beach and park…   The reception details were fresh and gorgeous – inside a purpose built man cave (yes I have house & shed envy!) – and the speeches, tear jerking in a “oh my goodness my mouth hurts from laughing” kinda way.  And don’t mention that dance!!!   I seriously have the most amazing clients.  Thanks a bunch for the great memories !!!! xx
