I love a family farm wedding – and these two nailed it. Wed on their own slice of country, Sarah and Liam held their ceremony on their lawn with views to their rolling hills. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they shared beautiful vows and then on to 4WD adventures and whole lot of reception shenanigans. So much fun and thanks for the good times! See below for a sneak peek… xx

Celebrating their togetherness on their own gorgeous slice of Taradise – Joanne & Steve bet the rain for their beautiful ceremony, held on their bush clad lawn with close family and friends carefully undercover. Adventures for our shoot around the property was such a treat – bush, farm, lakes and glades – the perfect backdrop for their special day. Thanks for the ride and god times! See below for a sneak peek into their special day.

When Brittany married Harry ….. wed at Lakeside Waverley – a place filled with special memories and family history – a farm based wedding was never so pretty. Arriving by Horse & Cart, Brittany stole the show with her entrance and her Pallas Couture gown. The ceremony was gorgeous, heart felt and blessed with sunshine & great company, and a well deserved tipple afterwards. Creative shots were around the farm and on to their own land, then back to the reception at the Homestead graced with gorgeous food, great tunes and brilliant speeches. Such a beautiful couple and so much fun working with these two again. Thanks for the memories and see below for a little teaser xx

Photographed for Craig MacLeod Construction, this gorgeous new addition to St. Georges by the Sea is perfection. I love the blend of materials used and the effortless flow from interior to the exterior environment. Beautiful work team! Designed by Arden Peters Architects and winner of the 2019 NZIA Western Architecture award for new housing.
Planning an international wedding is tough at the best of times – let alone Covid times….. With having to pop their plans on hold until borders open, Tash and Kai decided to play dress ups at Oma and Opa’s house, including them in a mini wedding shoot. This shoot was rather special as it was to celebrate their one-day-special-day mixed with celebrating Barbara and John’s 60th Anniversary. They also included their precious fur pup . … Just having the thought to do this gave me tingles, and with times uncertain it’s so important to love each moment and live in the now…. and to celebrate life in every way possible. xx
Finally!!! Long time couple Sara & Daniel tied the knot on Saturday at Ohangai after a first look at home in Hawera. Filled with personal touches, hand made flowers, a fairy garden, a man cave, laughter, wind, rain and a pirate. I love a winter wedding – you always get something a little different and this filled my boots. Thanks for the good times and the sore smile muscles xx
