Alex and Scott
Wed on a beautiful Autumnal day – looking breathtaking – Alex married her Scott in her gorgeous Mum’s wedding dress…. Overlooking the Tasman on the sweeping lawn of Ahu Ahu Villas they tied the knot with their closest and missed those that couldn’t.
Heartfelt vows, laughter, wind, sand, family, friends and wine – an intimate affair that celebrated the love of these two was the perfect way to see out a shortened wedding season for 19/20. Thanks for the memories Mr and Mrs Nelson xxx

Once upon a time in a rather different world than the present, I had the pleasure of capturing Robyn and her lovely extended family.

Blessed with morning rain and blue skies, Auckland couple Olivia and Sean’s day was truely unforgettable. Arriving in pure Indiana style, Olivia stole the show in the original Temple of Doom Duesenberg Auburn and her gorgeous Made with Love gown. Not to be outdone, Little Sam did a brilliant job of ring bearer – scoring a try enroute, and the personal vows shared shed many a tear. With guests making themselves at home playing games on the lawn and befriending the local equines, we adventured to the Gully and finally on to the beach for some time out…. Topping off the evening with some beautiful food, a bunch of laughs, heartfelt words and some burns on the D floor….
