Susanna & Kryspin

Posted in Weddings

With the wedding season winding down here in New Zealand, I really wanted to have some fun with Susanna & Kryspin’s wedding. I always love to shoot the getting ready stages in the morning. It’s my favourite part of the day as the girls are generally relaxed and enjoying getting beautiful. It also gives me plenty of time to get some great creative shots. Susanna and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done at Is Bliss, who worked their magic and did a fantastic job!

After a short break, we headed off to do some pre-ceremony shots (which I also love BTW). We headed down to Island Bay then got some great shots in Happy Valley. The ceremony and reception were at Wilton House, which is a stunning venue in the Wilton Bush. It was the perfect day for an outdoor ceremony in their beautiful garden.

It was such a great day, and I had a lot of fun with Susanna, Kryspin, and all their friends and family. Thank you for allowing me to share your day with you!

Looks like a fun day, and you captured it beautifully! That spot with all the signs (and animal heads?!) is classic. Great work!

Could you tell me where she got her Bridesmaid dresses from? They look like the ones I want!

Great set — my favorite one is the one with the bride in front of all the signs.

Jamie & Helen

Posted in Engagement

Jamie and Helen are one of those couples with a really cool story about getting together in high-school, going their separate ways, then finding each other again a few years later. As Jamie is my brother, I was super-stoked to have the privilege of shooting their engagement session after they announced their engagement.

They were so easy to photograph, and we had a lot of fun doing it. We did half of the photos by the river in Lower Hutt, and the other half on a family weekend up in Tokaanu, which is at the south end of Lake Taupo. They love to laugh and smile, and are all over each other, making for some great images.

Congratulations on your engagement, Jamie and Helen. Thanks for letting me celebrate it with you!
