This wedding might look a little bit familiar to some. Remember this wedding? Yesterday we were lucky enough to revisit the same spot where Sam & Daya got married over a year ago – this time to photograph Daya’s brother Izzy’s wedding. The family property in Otaki is basically the perfect spot to hold the ultimate Kiwi backyard wedding, and Izzy & Sarah had made it even better by getting Lizz from Cut the Mustard to add some absolutely gorgeous details. Even though it threatened to rain, in the end the Wellington weather kicked in to make it a beautiful day for a celebration. These two made for some amazing pictures, and Sarah is indeed so gorgeous that, as her new husband put it, she puts the fairy in fairy lights! Thanks so much to the whole family for having us back – we had an awesome time!

These guys are getting married in just over a month now, and we picked today, wind and all, for a quick engagement session in Upper Hutt. Just saying ‘wind’ is actually underselling a bit, as this was more like photos in a gale. Still, it was very easy shooting – Matt describes the two of them as being good at being ‘naturally silly’ and if that’s what it is then that’s what I like. If you find it easy to be happy and laugh in each other’s company, it makes for fantastic pictures. Speaking of which…

Christine & Dale were married Saturday at Old St Pauls in a gorgeous ceremony, followed by a celebration at Rydges. Their day was full of loads of adorable moments, a lot of which you can see in their photos! I especially love the look on Dale’s face as his gorgeous bride came down the aisle, and how happy they looked during their first dance. Enjoy.
