Tina and Josh are pretty much an old married couple by now, and I'm finally blogging their wedding! ;)
This was a fantastic, beautiful day in the Catlins... the gem of the south. Honestly the Catlins is soooo incredibly beautiful, I don't know why it's not more populated (not that I'm complaining). We began our day at the gorgeous Tiromoana House, near Owaka... with THIS stunning view! This was the location of the ceremony, and where the guys and girls both got ready for the big day ahead.
And to match the beauty of their location, we had an amazing couple. Tina and Josh had been together for 10 years before they got married! They are a gorgeous couple, who love each other deeply, laugh together, and annoy each other playfully... as all good couples do! Their wedding was the perfect mix of sincerity, fun and love.

Tina was an absolutely stunning bride! She owns a hair salon in Balclutha, so the hair and make-up was a big part of the day... they did an amazing job!
When the girls were all ready, they went down the family house, so the guys could come to Tiramoana House to get ready too. The guys were in good form - lots of laughter and car talk calmed the nerves!
We met the girls back down in Owaka for their final prep, and then headed to the ceremony...
As we drove back up the steep hill to the ceremony location, we were pretty shocked to see that the completely clear sky from before had fogged over fully - you could only see about 5 metres ahead, and the gorgeous view decided to stay tucked away. But it added a new and unexpected feel to the ceremony - the fog was soft and beautiful and magical!
Tina and Josh's guests went a little crazy on the confetti!!
Plans had to change pretty quickly for the photo shoot time of the day, because the previous locations Tina and Josh had sussed out were all pretty dependent on the gorgeous Catlins coastline views. We made use of the gorgeous mystical fog for a while, and then slowly but surely it began to clear.
Josh LOVES his car... it featured a lot throughout the day!
Just when we needed it, the blue sky began to come out, and we were once again treated to stunning views! This bridal party were amazing! They were so happy all day, and laughed a lot.
Beeeautiful bride! Love this!
Their reception was held at RiverRidge Lodge - a beautiful wedding venue in the Catlins! We loved shooting here as the sun dipped behind the mountains.
We ended the awesome reception with some sparkler fun!
Tina and Josh, thanks soooooo much for asking us to photograph your beautiful day! And thanks for waiting so patiently for your blog too! We loved capturing your love so much - you are a great couple xoxo
