Kelly & Paula's Raglan beach engagement shoot.
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,..
Barend & Jade's Raglan Wedding
Just a super quick blog post for this lovely couple with a few images in from yesterdays epic wedding out at Raglan.. Just as we thought the weather was going to pack in and turn grey and rainy for the day it had a change of mind and decided to be lovely and warm so Barend and Jade could get married outside on the clifftops at Raglan beach just as planned.....Here are just a few form the Bridal party photos.
We found the most adorable vintage bridge with an old willow tree hanging over and a tree lined driveway that was just dreamy !!
Oh my gosh that car......Wow !!!
The girls were absolutely on point and looked amazing !!
And the boys looked super handsome, although my tough man pose turned into everyone practicing their best Zoolander expressions and ended it fits of laughter......!!
Then we headed to the beach, just as the sun was almost down and casting long end of day shadows across the beach........
And as we were all still giggling away from the boys Zoolander poses, A bit of skipping down the beach seemed appropriate!!... We couldn't stop laughing... and of course we made them do it several times.......!!
Then down to some dreamy photos for the newly married couple on the rocks as the sun set behind the cliffs.......
Thank you so much for sharing your day with me , It was truly stunning !!!
