Kelly and Mark's wedding has been the biggest pleasure to photograph and edit! I have become so involved in the photos as I edit them... they have made me laugh out loud, smile widely... and admittedly, there were even a couple times that a wee tear trickled down my cheek as I worked through them. I dare you not to sit here with a big grin on your face throughout this blog!

I first met with Kelly and Mark to talk weddings in July last year... and I had been crazy excited about their wedding since then. I just knew it was going to be something special. These guys are awesome. Like actually AWESOME. They are both the kind of people you just instantly want to be friends with - it has been great to get to know them! Liam and I had sooooo much fun on their incredible wedding day!

Before I begin, you will be forgiven if you have come in search of a blog for Kelly McGregor and Mark, and found the wrong bride and groom! Wanna know something crazy?! I found out from other photographers that the same day that THIS Kelly McGregor and Mark got married... another Kelly McGregor was marrying another Mark in Dunedin!!! How crazy is that??! Annnnnd there was ANOTHER wedding in Dunedin that day for Kelly and Mike!!! Unbelieveable!!

Anywhoo, back to it.... let's start at the very beginning and head to the groom's house...
Enough of the boys just for now... let me take you to the pretty girls!

Kelly is unbelievably gorgeous. She is one of those girls who just captivates you because her beautiful smile is so genuine and vibrant! She radiates happiness and makes you feel like you are one of the most awesome people in the world at that moment, even if you have actually done nothing... a very rare gift! She is so encouraging, excitable and just utterly lovely!
And her sister Sarah, and best friends, Kaz and Kura, are also stunning girls who just made the day a breeze! We loved working with all these girls!
I LOVE how expressive Kelly is!
Kelly's gorgeous dress was bought in Dunedin, and altered to fit her perfectly. However, when she went to put it on not long before the ceremony, she realised it hadn't actually been finished off properly inside, and it was missing a few vital ribbons! I honestly still cannot get over how calmly and amazingly Kelly dealt with this slight mishap! A few phone calls later, and a lady from the bridal shop was up in an instant, sewing up Kelly's dress while she was in it!!!
And her Dad thinks she looks pretty darn amazing in the finished product!!!
Off to meet her husband-to-be at the gorgeous North Taieri Church!
And they were so excited to become husband and wife!!!
About now was where the tears welled up in me while I was editing. I totally adore this series of all the grandparents hugging Kelly and Mark and sharing their wisdom and knowledge.
During the family photos after the ceremony, we had a very sudden but awesome shower of little autumn leaves... it was like natural confetti!
And juuust before we left with the bridal party for location shoot (and consequently, just before it began to bucket down with rain!), we snuck back into the church for another couple of gorgeous portraits!
I have learnt that some computers or browsers aren't coping with some of my blogs and going a bit spazzo... so in an attempt to rectify that... I will now continue onto Part II of Kelly and Mark's blog... make sure you check it out... this is where it gets really good!!

Take me to Part II of Kelly & Mark's Blog!

 
 
Just in case you missed it... check out Part I of Kelly and Mark's blog here!

And so we pick up where we left off... ah yea, just when it began to pooooour down and we were about to head outside to some awesome locations! Plan B was called upon, and we went straight up to stunning Larnach's Castle for the whole shoot and their reception! And it was actually perfect... the rain was slightly softer up there, and there were sooo many times I just wanted to gasp at the beauty we were able to capture of this couple!
The whole bridal party were absolute troopers getting out in the rain! I think the raindrops in the background of the following photos totally add something to them... rain can be ah-mazing.
I'm just gonna put it out there... these two are going to have the most beautiful babies ever!
Some guests watching on from the best seats in the house!
We walked around the corner to this gorgeous patch of cute little white flowers, and look who decided to join us! Life couldn't have been more perfect!
Liam and I dropped off Kelly and Mark's full set of photos to them last night.  They were talking about how much they loved the photo shoot part of the day, because they could get away and just snuggle and have some time together; that's all you wanna do when you have just married your best friend!!! And secretly Kelly was totally loving how much Mark was loving it and getting into it too!!
Soooo romantic!
Kelly and Mark, and your whole bridal party... you guys were super fun and amazingly good-looking! Thanks again for having fun with us, getting out in the rain and just saying 'of course!' to all our crazy requests! We loved your wedding day and we hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them! XOX
 
 
The Lookout Lodge near Wanaka was the perfect setting for Susan and Bryce's wedding, with the most stunning backdrop for the ceremony, and a very nice reception venue. It was a day full of love and a lot of laughs! Susan and Bryce created a beautiful and intimate family-based wedding - it was a lovely day which we were lucky to be part of. The location was just so peaceful and inviting... and Wanaka was ridiculously hot.

Susan and her Bridesmaids, Jenna and Kat, got ready at the lodge itself. They all looked amazing, and Susan was lucky to have bridesmaids to keep her so perfectly calm and gorgeous!! I won't write too much more (I've been at this computer all day, and I won't stop blabbering if I start!)... so will let the images do the talking!

Let's begin with gorgeous Susan...
 And some details... always love pretty bridal things!
Susan literally had to step out of her room and she was at the beginning of the aisle to Bryce, so she was able to have a quick wee peek at her husband-to-be standing out on the lawn very nervously when he arrived!!
Love this! Cute grandparents watching on eagerly!
Despite it being an absolutel pearler of a day, the wind still decided to have a bit of a battle with her veil! Susan just laughed all day long though... nothing was a problem at all!
And that scenery couldn't get much better!
Beautiful girls!
Reeeeow! You look amazing Susan!!
Two year old Isla flew over from Australia the day before the wedding, and she was the sweetest little flowergirl!! She was very serious all day, until we reached this one location, where the wee poppet couldn't stop smiling!! Maybe the jetlag finally wore off?!
Blowing bubbles never gets old.
Susan and Bryce, thanks heaps for asking us to capture your day!! You just seem so natural and perfect together, and it was such an honour to be part of your big day!! All the best for everything. Can't wait to get your beautiful display prints to you! xoxox
 
 
Stella and Choon-Wi put on one of the funnest and fullest wedding days I have ever been to - it was a huge day, packed with so many different, meaningful, hilarious, awesome traditions! They win the "Kim and Liam got a bit snap happy" prize for this season... I have to try to be brief with my words, or this blog will end up 10x longer than it should! So let me take you back to an incredibly amazing wedding, at a lovely venue in Wanaka called, well... "The Venue".

Stella and Choon-Wi (otherwise known as Chewy) have been together for over 4 years. Chewy proposed at the top of Signal Hill, on a pitch black night. All Stella could do was say "yes!!!!!!" and then run back to car to see what her new ring actually looked like under the car lights! Their wedding day was a celebration of all that has been in their relationship, and all that is yet to come. It was a beautiful mix of their Maylasian and New Zealand upbringings. They are a gorgeous couple who like to have a lot of fun. A LOT. More on that later!

We met Stella and her girls getting hair and make-up done. Stella was calm and already looking stunning when we arrived!
Literally 10m away, in the house next door, Chewy and his boys were getting suited up. Looking very smart and sophisticated indeed.
I'll be honest though - what followed was a minor lapse in that sophistication. We all sprung into the next big part of the day - the "traditional" Chinese 'Ceremony Games'. A part of the day where we had no idea what we were in for! I have never laughed so hard at a wedding in my life...
If you didn't know any better, you would have been forgiven for thinking you had walked into a stag do, rather than a wedding day. Don't say I didn't warn you! But never fret, we will be back with the prettiness very soon!
The bridesmaids (and probably around 15 of Stella's good friends) challenge the groom (and his entourage of boys!) to complete a series of tasks in order to earn his bride, who is hidden away in a secret room in the house! The first challenge involved a lot of dancing, girls underwear, nappies, and kids juice boxes... need I say more?!
The guys also have to pay money to all the girls as an extra incentive to let them pass the challenges. And I tell you what, the girls ran a hard bargain! Inside each of these envelopes was a $5 note... and they had to be passed out continuously before Chewy could even take a step inside the house!
Singing a Chinese love song loud enough that his hidden bride might hear him... third time lucky and he passed that challenge!
A bit of balloon popping man-love...
And some physical challenges to prove he is manly enough for his bride.
A contract to sign, declaring his undying willingess to "do all the housework, carry Stella's bags while she shops 'till she drops, always put the toilet seat down and to always admit he is in the wrong"...!
And while his gorgeous oriental princess nervously waits (for about an hour!), Chewy has one more Cinderella story challenge to complete. He must find her missing shoe around the house, and present it to his bride to ensure it fits.
Oh, and also get past Aiwei, the final road-block to his bride!!
Chewy has proved his manliness, his love, and his ability to do anything without embrassment... and he earns his bride in full!
And the shoe fits!! (Phew!)
Back to the sophistication and classiness - the next item on the agenda was the traditional 'tea ceremony' where family members serve each other tea as a formal introduction and gesture of respect.
After a lunch with the family and friends, Stella had some more girl time, preparing for the ceremony.
The ceremony took place on the lawn at 'The Venue', and it was stunning!
His second glimpse at his bride, and Chewy's smile is a mile wide...
Gorgeous kids taking control of the videography...
And just like that, they are man and wife!! Wahoooo! A very good reason to dance down the aisle...
Don't leave yet! So much happened in this day that I had to split the blog in 2! I urge you to check out Part Two of Stella and Chewy's wedding... this is where is gets particularly beautiful... so check it out!! Here is one sneak peek of what you will find...

Take me to Part II of Stella and Chewy's Blog!!

 
 
Thanks for continuing onto Part II of Stella and Chewy's wedding blog! (If you have missed the first, Part I is here!)

Stella and Chewy. Two awesome names... but two very easy names to mix up! They had to get used to me calling them Stewy & Chella, or Stelly and Chewa the whole shoot! I tried to get it right though, I really did!

The whole bridal party were ah-mazing when we went out for the portrait/location shoot! We absolutely LOVED this whole shoot... full of enthusiasm, love, ideas... these guys rocked it totally.

And how outstandingly gorgeous is Stella?? Such a dream to photograph!
Mmm Mmmmmm. Moody skies. Long grassy fields. And LOVE. Happy dance!
Too cool for school.
And down by the lake front was another winner of a location!
And a bit of playground fun never hurt anyone either!
Back at the reception, the guests were excited to see the happy couple again...
... and I felt like I had stepped back into my childhood dreams when I saw this candy bar!! Ok, ok...maybe I still dream about candy like this... Don't judge me.
Wow. EPIC wedding!!! It was so hard to narrow down the photos! Stella and Chewy, THANK YOU!!!!!!! We had soooo much fun... I just smile and laugh when I think about your awesome day! The details, the traditions, the colours, the locations, the cute kids, and you and your awesome bridal party - it was all just so amazing. And thanks for your patience with the blog too! We have loved getting to know you two, and we hope to see you again soon! xoxoxo
 
 
The heat of the sun poured down on us as we drove to Arrowtown to capture Gina and Blair's gorgeous wedding. February in Central Otago appears to have been slightly more summery than ours here in Dunedin! Add in massive doses of the warmth of love, family and commitment... and it was a scorcher.

When we arrived at Gina's parents house in Arrowtown, we found a hive of activity - the bride and all her girls were huddled around a bouquet-making work-station! Wow - massive respect for anyone who can just whip up a casual bridal party's worth of beautiful bouquets and button-holes, just a mere few hours before the ceremony!
And look at the result! Talent in extreme measures. 
Gina has three very fabulous nieces, and one very cute nephew! They were absolute stars on the day.
A sneak peek of the wedding vehicle...
We darted around the corner to quickly capture what the boys were doing to prepare... it's always a different atmosphere from the girls! Blair and his guys were desperately trying to find cool shade, and just chillaxin' with a couple of beers...
Back at the girls, Gina transformed from the florist, into the bride... and a very spectacular one she was!
Hustle and bustle... excitement and nerves...
Annnnd Bob the Builder just calmly fixing everything...
I love that the family 'Maxwell Brothers' truck was used as a wedding vehicle for Gina's last day as a Maxwell. I think the kids loved it too.
Only in Arrowtown could you get away with towing people on a trailer to their wedding... and have them feel like royalty too! Nothing expresses more awesomeness than a red tractor as the bridal vehicle.
After a slow but very fun drive down the streets of Arrowtown, we made it to St. Patrick's Catholic Church, which is surrounded by cottages and all the old town greatness that Arrowtown has to offer.
And so it begins... Gina and her father walk down the aisle to her groom...
The ceremony was exploding with loveliness! The service sheet introduced the musicians as the 'Von Maxwell Family'... and that they were! Incredible music on an array of instruments, spine-tingling harmonies, and talent in multitudes!
We couldn't forget a major dose of cuteness too!
Annnd I guess the most important thing - oozing with love and excitement as Gina and Blair began a wonderful new marriage...
And they were pretty happy about it too!
A very well-loved family tractor (which has never been so sparkly and clean in all it's life), and the bride's father, Jeff, cranking it to get it going... with a bouquet in his hand! Whatever works I guess!
Even though I have been through this set of wedding photos countless times... this photo still makes me laugh out loud every.single.time! No judgement here, it's a long day when you are a groomsman! But beware: Nothing goes past us.
Don't blame me... it was the boys who were keen for some Spirit Fingers!
While I shot this...
Liam shot this...
Gina was a perfect bride! Her every move was so pretty...
And the bridal party were beyond awesome!
Jumping FAIL! We have photo evidence it was you who did the damage Blair!!! Next he had to go crawling to the land owners to apologise for the broken fence!
Stunning bride and groom!
Gina and Blair, your day was beautiful! I'm so glad you love your photos... we loved photographing you guys!! We hope that the lifetime of years you have to come are full to the brim of love and happiness! xx 
 
 
A castle. Horse and carriage. A princess dress. Pretty jewels. A bride, and her charming Prince... the love of her life.

All the ingredients required for a fairytale wedding. Add in magical misty fog billowing around the castle, and you have a rich, dreamy, very mystical atmosphere. Holly and Cam's wedding at Larnach's Castle was one of a kind - I felt I was away in some far distant land, surrounded in pretty details, a loving family, and a gorgeous couple who adore each other completely!

Hoooold the horses though... I'm getting ahead of myself - that part comes a little later on down the track! First let's begin this "Once upon a time" story with a beautiful bride and her gorgeous girls getting prepared for a beautiful day ahead...
Back at the family home, the house was abustle with family members running around doing the final preparations, getting kids clean and tidy, and getting Holly into her stunning wedding dress...
Holly and Cam are lucky to have some VERY gorgeous nieces and nephews!! Most of them (those old enough!) were part of the bridal party... so there was a lot of cuteness to capture. I love this moment as Holly walks down the stairs, with the kids waiting at the bottom to get lots of big smooches...
After a quick stop over at the beach to get some photos with some of the little children that she teaches at an early learning centre, we headed to Larnach's Castle. The fog became thicker and more romantic the closer we got.
Holly's proud father watches on as she steps out from her modern day wedding car, to step back in time and into a fairytale....
This fine young gentleman even blew me a kiss after getting out of the carriage...
The sound of the bagpipes filled the gardens, and the beautiful ceremony began with some special people...
Smiles and happiness...
Giving their hearts to each to hold and protect forever...
A stunning backdrop to a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony...
Delightful bride!
Rich in love, Holly and Cam have a whole lifetime to look forward to! And they are going to live happily ever after...
Holly and Cam, thank you sooo much for allowing me and Liam into your beautiful day! It was actually such an incredible honour and pleasure to be there to capture it for you... I will never forget that beautiful mystical vibe, and your incredible love! All the best... I hope the rest of your life continues to be like a wonderful fairytale...

xoxo
 
 
As we drove from Invercargill to 'The Hideaway 201' near Winton, Liam and I were scouting out a heap of awesome locations, and praying the rain would hold off for this outdoor wedding! When we pulled up at the house where Jess and the girls were getting ready, my happy dance could not be contained... our amazing friends, Mickey & Jess, were getting married that day, and we were heading there to capture it all!!! Plus I could see a stunning bride getting made-up in the doorway, annnnnd there were long grassy fields full of fruit trees outside, which just completed my photographic happy place.

You may remember Jess and Mickey's blind date love story from their engagement shoot. The relationship and friendship that developed from that moment is something extremely precious... grounded in faith, and love in abundance and fullness.

I grew up in Gore with Jess and Mickey, so heading back to Southland is like heading home for me. What I love about a good Southland wedding is the rich heritage and very wide and extended (albeit it slightly inbred?!) family support that covers the couple. Everyone knows everyone, and a wedding is a celebration for the whole community! And Jess and Mickey definitely put on a ripper of a celebration!! I have been hounded by many friends to make sure this is one of the biggest blogs I have ever done... just quietly, I don't think I am going to have any trouble with that. 12 hours of photographing awesomeness... I'm allowed a big post... 
Crazily enough, about 40% of the masses of photos we took all day were all at the girls' house before the ceremony!! And this is why...
1:17pm and everyone was all ready to go... an hour and a quarter before the ceremony started!! I definitely wasn't complaining though, and there was no thumb-twiddling here... we were going to make the most of the time, the incredible location, a stunning bride and the crazy awesome wind...
Abby, Nicole, Kathryn and Teresa were AWESOME to work with... they supported Jess with a laugh a minute and they all looked stunning!
Ohhhh my golly gosh I fell in love with Jess' veil... the wind was pretty strong, and it made everything so fun and spectacular!
One minute down the road to The Hideaway for the ceremony... Jess arrives perfectly on time...
Mickey takes a first peek as his bride begins her walk down the incredible aisle...
We headed off location for the majority of the bridal party portraits, and left the guests to wander around the beautiful gardens at the Hideaway.
Drop dead gorgeous bride.
The boys. Oh the boys... always a laugh, always smooth. Always making photos look too darn cool, just by being boys.
Except there is always one in every crowd... where are you off to Jonathan???
The next two photos were taken at the same time... almost down to the exact same second. This is why having a second shooter with a different eye is awesome... mine is first, Liam's is beneath... (he was being stealthy in the bushes with a big lens!)...
What began as a drizzly, grey day, turned into a very bright morning and hot afternoon... and we were also lucky enough to have a sprinkling of awesome moody thunderclouds for some of the portraits too! The wind picked up to something near gale-force, but the threatening rain was only that. Totally what you might expect for a Southland wedding... these mood swings just made for an awesome range of photos...
Five farmer boys and their toys...
Did I mention it was windy?!?! It was so intense we just about lost all of these parasols... this makes me giggle...
It's actually quite unreal how many photos I have of the boys carrying the parasols, and Mickey carrying Jess' flowers...
We passed this field with a lonely tree and tyre swing on the way to wedding... screeched to a halt, reversed, and popped into a random house to ask permission to use it. I totally love this location. It's serene, and makes me think of childhood fun, and lovely dates with someone you love.

We did just about get blown away here as well though...
Back at the Hideaway, the 'netball' shot was a must for the boys...
The speeches were a laugh...
Air hostess Teresa gave us all great instructions for the toilets and exits...
Some people got in trouble about the stories they were telling...
Team Rainbow had fun with our placemats...
Heartfelt love was expressed...
And we boogied the night away under the stars...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for asking me and Liam to photograph your wedding - we had suuuuch an awesome day with you all, and are stoked with the photos! We hope you like them too... they are all in the post on their way down to you!! We are blessed to know you both and look forward to many more years of friendship! You are a great team.

And to everyone else who played a part in this incredible wedding, you can all give yourself a pat on the back! It was so awesome to catch up with so many people down there... we love our big Southland family! xoxoxo
 
 
I cannot talk highly enough of Rebecca and John's Wyndham wedding on the 14th of January... they did not stop smiling all day, and they just made our photography so easy! Love was abounding and oozing out from everywhere. It was one of those weddings that gave me goosebumps and tingles all down my back from the emotion and loveliness of it all!

They intended on getting married outside in the gorgeous Mayple Glen gardens, but unfortunately rain changed that plan. It really was no problem though - Rebecca and John breezed through the day without a care in the world..."all in God's plan!" they said... and they couldn't have been more correct.

John and Bex first met a camp, and got to know each other further as John became a regular visitor to the Diack family dinner table. They became best friends, and fell deeply in love. Two months after they started going out, John whisked Bex away on a motorbike for a picnic, to the top of a hill on their farm... and asked Bex the best question she could have hoped for.
On their wedding day, we met the groom and his 'people' first. John was introducing us to everyone running around the busy household... "this is my sister, and my brother, and another sister... and two other brothers... and... another sister and brother...". My head got so frazzled trying to work out where these people kept coming from... until I found out there are 12 kids in the family!!!! TWELVE kids!!! That's a whole sports team!!! Jeeeeeepers, there must be a lot of food and odd socks and washing in that house!

They also had lots of nice manly details... including a very classy new watch that Bex had given John as a wedding gift.
John (like most grooms) was having a little trouble getting his tie done up evenly...
John's wonderful mother, (who deserves huge credit for raising a whole tribe of children full of integrity, love and respect), watches on proudly as her precious son gets suited up for his wedding day...
Over at Rebecca's home, everything was suprisingly calm, and there were smiles and beautiful girls galore!! Turns out they don't do things by halves down in Wyndham - Rebecca and John each had 6 friends or siblings in the bridal party - so we had a total of 14 to photograph for the afternoon!!

More pretty girly details - including the stunning gold bangle John had gifted Bex for their wedding day.
How many people does it take to lace up a wedding dress? 6 bridesmaids + one mother apparently!
Wow. Bex, look at you!! You are sooo incredibly stunning!
You were radiant with love and excitement all day... and it was beautiful to watch!
These girls were all fabulous. Not only did they look amazing, they were so helpful and giggly and fun!
Sisterly love...
The ceremony was held in the Wyndham Presbyterian Church because of the rain... John and Bex are so popular and loved that it was packed to the brim in there!
I'm pretty sure there was not a dry eye in the whole congregation as Rebecca walked down the aisle... it was a very emotional moment. It's a good thing I have a camera to hide behind in these moments, because I was welling up something chronic too.
They were just a little bit cute together throughout the whole ceremony!
The pastor reminded us all of the importance of a husband cherishing his wife's heart, and of a wife continually respecting and honouring her husband. I have no doubt in my mind that Bex and John understand this fully. They are so sweet together.
Just married, and pretty darn happy about it! Bex and John totally rocked the shoot. The heavy rain decided to cease just as we arrived at our first location, and we were able to head outside for all the portraits!
Meet the bridal party of awesomeness. Truly, all 14 of these guys and girls totally rocked. They are most definitely in running for the cutest big bridal party ever award. If you are thinking about hiring a bridal party at any stage, I suggest you seriously consider this crew.

Cameron, Peter, Paul, Andrew, Hannah (Miss Groomsmaid!), Hayden, Hannah, Emma, Kimberley, Jess, Alana and Claire ... (phew, that makes you breathless)...you did an amazing job at making the photos fun and helping with poofing dresses, keeping Bex and John fed and watered, jumping in stillettos, and keeping calm and cool. It is very obvious that Bex and John have an awesome and loving support crew around them!
I've been sitting here trying to type a wolf whistle... but "wit weoo" is the best I can come up with. Anyway, John you have scored yourself a very hot wife!!
I really wasn't joking when I said that this massive bridal party was so cute! Check this out... we took Bex and John away for a little bit to do some portraits, and when we looked back at the rest of them, they were all huddled around in one big group hug. Although only 6 of the 12 were either Bex or John's siblings, they are all just one big happy family!
I am mostly including this photo because it makes me giggle! Liam and I have fun playing around with different sun flares and colours... and get a bit competitive over it... but we didn't know our bride was something out of Star Wars! When we looked through the photos the first time, I was like "Look Liam!!! You gave her a light-saver!!!!!". He pretty quickly laughed in my face... turns out, it's actually a light-saber. Whoops. I'm clearly not a die-hard Star Wars fan.

Bex can even make a light-s.a.b.e.r look awesome... watch out John!
You are truly an amazing couple, and it was such a privilege to photograph your wonderful wedding!
Bex and John, we wish you the very, very best for soooo many happy years of marriage and life together! Your wedding day was incredible... yet that is only the beginning! You share an huge amount of love and now you get to live a beautiful life together because of it. We hope you have enjoyed your sneak peek of your photos... there are so many more to give you! Bless you both hugely xoxo
 
 
Eight and a half years after meeting at a 3rd form rave, Krista and Brett each committed their lives to each other. They are best friends who complement each other completely.

We are going back in time a tiny bit here... just to November 25th, 2011 - to a very sunny and extreeeemely windy day in Timaru. This lovely wedding took place just as I hit peak busyness, and I was unable to blog it... so I am catching up! Again, I am going to let the pictures do most of the talking... because there are plenty of other blogs lining up to be done as well!

Krista is an absolutely stunning girl, and she made a perfect bride. She is my brother-in-law's younger sister, and my sister-in-law, Laura, was a bridesmaid... so there were a lot of family connections during the day! The whole wedding was incredibly gorgeous...
Krista's elegant dress was made by my mother-in-law, Christine, and the bridesmaids dresses were made by Krista's Mum, Lynette! They are two very talented ladies... Krista looked amazing in her dress.
Putting on her great-grandmothers ring...
I love this moment as her parents peek around the corner and watch their stunning daughter become a bride...
While I was at the girls, Liam spent a wee while with Brett and his mates, who were getting ready all very casually...
It was insanely windy... so much so that Krista's veil got blown straight out of her hair! With very little shelter at any of the locations, they did amazingly well to cope with being blown in all directions!
Stunning, and utterly in love...
Playing with a bit of sun-flarey goodness!
Krista and Brett, you are an adorable couple... and Liam and I totally LOVED shooting your wedding! Thank you for letting us be part of your celebrations! I am sure we will see you again soon xoxo
