Dana & Josh
Let the fun begin….. bespoke Nikes, shiny Fords, glitter, plaid shirts, home made sippers, hilarious vows and a bunch of laughs – the wedding of Mr and Mrs Smith! Sunshine blessed Dana and Josh as they wed at the Novotel and chilled at Back Beach. Thanks for the awesome day and the sore smile muscles! xx Here is a sneak peek into their most awesome of days….

Bruce + Joanne
Cozy cuddles, belly laughs, warm hearty food and great company – just a recipe for a great winter shin dig! I started on the journey with Bruce & Joanne two weeks prior to their wedding – photographing them as a couple as is traditional in Joanne’s culture. We had a first look at their home followed by an adventure about the Mountain…. stopping where we thought the scenery would photograph beautifully. Our Mt decided to hide, but the sun burst through, breaking up any icicles and casting some beautiful light. Then came the wedding day – a true chiller – thank goodness for traditions! Held at Deken’s Barn, a perfectly intimate ceremony with their nearest and dearest. Heartfelt vows, a tea ceremony and finished off with a boot kicking burn up on the D floor….Thanks for your awesomeness! xx

Bravehearts for Hospice
Last month this happened!!
13 Brave and Beautiful Ladies bared themselves courageously with the focus to help raise $ for Hospice…. AND what a time was had! Nerves, laughter, soul food, mulled wine and new friendships…. The result – a beautifully bold, quirky, feminine & fun 14 month calendar of local legends to be proud of. Bringing Taranaki Hard Core to the next level…
A big thank you to those 13 who shook off their inhibitions and came out feeling empowered… YOU TOTALLY ROCK!
To the super power in her own right – Barbara Olsen-Henderson – without you this would not have happened! For opening your home, leading the way, filling our bellies and pulling it all together!!
To the uber awesome Andrea Leadbetter from TGM – for producing the calendar – and of course agreeing to be starkers!
To the lovely Lyn Humphreys for her talented writing and wordly magic…
To Kim Ferens & Robin Drake for your generous donations.
And of course to the lovely and talented hair and makeup teams – Ruby Blu Hair, Emerge Beauty and Well Being and Stacey Riddick – you made everyone feel rather special and famous x
The Bravehearts for Hospice calendar goes on sale later this month – please click on the website for info and a bit of a sneak peek…
