Happy adventures with the Giles’ xx

Mr & Mrs Fregeau
An absolute breath stealer! Michelle & Eric’s special day was kicked off with a private first look at Onaero, followed by a super fun creative session and a most beautiful ceremony – cliff top Avista. With a heavily international guest list, it was not only a celebration of togetherness but also of reminiscing and making new memories. I had such a good time, I didn’t want to leave! Here’s a sneak peek into their gorgeous day…..xx

Once upon a beautiful Saturday, I had the honour of capturing Ashley and Connor’s special day. From the finest little details – this wedding took my breath away (and had my eyes welling up!)… Such prettiness. Laughter, tears, beautiful words, manicured gardens and a sweeping seascape…. dreamy perfection. xx

Il vestito più bello
Trying to pick the “most beautiful dress” for your most special day can be a challenge…. as can working in a cyclone with mud and rain with wedding gowns… but sometimes things are meant to be and come together perfectly… all with a bit of divine inspiration. Introducing the Ruth collection at Boho Bridal….. here’s a wee taster…
Thanks for being such troopers – team Boho Bridal: Abbey and Lisa and to our gorgeous model Nora for tackling the conditions like a pro. LOVE xx

Mikala & Hamish
Coming together on a very Autumnal Taranaki Saturday, this perfect twosome tied the knot blessed with dewy kisses from the sky. The ceremony was intimate and held in the gorgeous surroundings of the Nice Hotel. Serenaded in by the angelic voice of a Bridesmaid, Mikala swapped heartfelt vows with Hamish followed by a beautiful song by the gorgeous flower girls…. and then was presented with a wedding gift from her new husband…. a Dirt Bike – her reaction ….. priceless. We adventured to Tupare in a break in the weather, had some fun at the King and Queen, and headed back to Nice for party-time!. So much love, laughter & aching smile muscles… thanks for the memories xx

Mr & Mrs Cunningham!!
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

Mr & Mrs Riley
In a splash of colour and cross cultures, this breathtaking Indonesian princess married her Kiwi prince a little over a week ago…. Catherine and Micheal’s beautiful ceremony was full of heartfelt words, traditions and vibrance. Both families were heavily involved and even though the guest list was rather full, it felt completely intimate. Held on the gorgeous grounds of Ahu Ahu Beach Villas overlooking the Pacific, friends and family gathered for a vibrant & emotional affair … laughter, tears, a second first look, bubbles, games, dancing …. bliss…. thanks for having me along on the journey – a truely beautiful couple xx

Tash + Ross
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

Set on a sweeping back lawn bordering the Waingongoro River in Ohawe, Nicole and Regan shared beautiful words surrounded by their loved ones. With the ceremony later in the day we were able to play with low light and relax into the evening in style. Thanks for the laughs, adventures and gorgeous attention to detail – simply brilliant!!… LOVE!! xx
