Have been meaning to show this for a while.
The beautiful wedding album of Diane and Les

Still trying to work out where my blog header has gone … hmmm.

Was so thrilled when Diane asked me photograph her wedding. I knew it would be magical, indeed it was. She was STUNNING. I loved the day and adore the resulting images. How can you go wrong with such a beautiful couple.

Sophy and Katie did a gorgeous job with hair and makeup, the gorgeous bouquets were by Starz Florist and Kumeu Valley Estate was the perfect venue.

After a long wait in Singapore (around 12 hours and worries about what volcanic ash was doing to create so many engineering problems), we finally made it to London late Sunday and arrived in Belgium a day later. Spring is in the air and the trees are blooming (must get a pic of the gorgeous cherry blossom trees, I’m looking at one in Sarah’s back yard right now). Gorgeous for session pics!

In the meantime, another from Di and Brad’s wedding. Full post very soon!

I was supposed to fly off to Belgium today but am one of the many grounded. All european sessions next week will be postponed until … they let us in.

Which gave me a moment to post a quick preview before they fly out on their (surprise for Di) honeymoon tomorrow. Well we think they’re flying out. Brad didn’t seem too concerned about volcanoes erupting so I guess it’s not europe ; )

More on this gorgeous wedding soon… the first below reminds me so much of the Italian countryside. Huge thank you to West Brook Winery for providing the beautiful backdrop for the bridal party pictures.

Sigh. Here they are. Mr and Mrs.

Lalitha and Joey had such a wonderful heartwarming wedding. The weather was PERFECT all day. The started with a beautiful ceremony at the Anglican Parish of Kohimarama, then lots of fun capturing their family and friends in the church garden, then over to Long Bay for fun pics on the beach, and finally to Long Bay Restaurant for the reception. Incredible setting and a gorgeous evening.

My second shooter/assistant on the day Meg was fantastic. Was great to see a second angle on the important shots, she had some great captures which will really add to their album.

Thank you so much Lalitha and Joey, to you both and your families for welcoming us and allowing us to be part of your day, which was absolutely beautiful and magical.

To shoot a wedding and especially so when the bride is the mother of a cherished friend. Was flown to Christchurch for the wedding of Diane and Les. What a beautiful ceremony and absolutey gorgeous couple. Wishing them so much love and happiness.

Amazing how calm and relaxed Shari was the morning of her wedding. Enjoying every moment. Stunning bride glowing with happiness. They made such a beautiful couple and was wonderful to see their love, tears and laughter. A perfect wedding day. So much fun to photograph.
