The wedding of Toby and Sophie Hunua falls camp Auckland
When Toby and Sophie first contacted me regarding their wedding at Hunua Falls Campground I jumped for joy, it had been a while since I was last there capturing a couple’s big day, one that lead to me photographing many of their friend’s weddings and family photos over the years so it holds a special part of my heart and I was delighted when Toby and Sophie booked me.
It was such a privilege to be part of this wedding, Toby and Sophie are such a fabulous laid-back couple who welcomed me into their day with such warmth and made me feel more of a guest than the wedding photographer.
On the day I set off to Auckland hoping the dark moody skies would stay like that and wouldn’t produce any rain for us so the ceremony could be held in the beautiful forest setting at Hunua campground where the stream runs along the side for a magical setting for the ceremony. We were in luck, the sun even made an appearance here and there for us before hiding behind the clouds at the end of the day.
Toby and Sophie, thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your day and making me feel so welcome, I wish you all the very best for your future together!
Here are a few images from the day., Enjoy!

Oh my gosh !!! What a day !! The sun was beating down on us all day and in temperatures going into the 30’s Auckland certainly put on a show for everyone who had flown in from California and the US to be part of this couples special day !! The main focus was trying to keep everyone cool and hydrated but the bridesmaids were on point and did an amazing job of looking after the bride and everyone else on the day and then when we arrived at Allely Estate for the ceremony, Athena and the team were brilliant looking after us all !! Here are just a few from the day… and can I say… and all I can say is……..best Zoo lander impersonations ever from the boys !!!!

Matthew & Robyn, Markovina vineyard Estate.
Matthew & Robyn married at Markovina Estate Vineyards Kumeu in a stunning garden ceremony.
The venue is just a perfect mix of stunning gardens and superbly designed inside, outside flow with so many options for photos we were a little spoiled, and blessed to be part of this day.... I started the day with Robyn and the girls getting ready at Bethels Rd high at a property high on the hill, with stunning views back to the sky tower and Auckland before we all headed onto Markovina Estate for the ceremony where Matthew and the boys were waiting patiently for Robyn to arrive, and the smile on Matthews face when he saw her walking down the aisle...Just beautiful..........After the ceremony we headed for photos and then back in for speeches and bubbles..the fizzy kind and the kind that fall from the ceiling for the first dance.... and then into some legendary dance moves as the evening slipped away into night........ Here's a little taster of the day...........
What can I say..... Such a fabulous day with so much fun laughter and tears of joy.... Thanks so much for sharing your day with us XX
Aaron & Bobbie, The Hunting Lodge.
I headed up to Auckland on Friday to capture the wedding of Aaron and Bobbie at The Hunting Lodge Winery. The forecast storm managed to hold off until after the ceremony ensuring we got plenty of time to get some fab captures for them, and we were very lucky that they had chosen to have a first look before the ceremony as the late afternoon brought grey skies and and impressive thunderstorms Here are just a small selection.
Bobbies's dress was just stunning , It took my breath away when I first saw it .....
Then a first look with Dad..Such a special moment for these two........
And then off to The Hunting Lodge to meet Aaron and their own first look before heading off round the winery for photo's......
Aaron is a very clever guy, the 'Do it yourself" kind of guy and he made that LOVE sign .....In two days......yep folks...two days and it was perfection !!
The wind had really started to pick up by the time we got onto the drive way.....
How stunning are these two......
All the boys...looking very smart!!
And all the girls,..
