It’s not, to be honest, usually a great sign for a wedding photographer when you check the news the night before a wedding and the headline news is a weather bomb. And in the end, the weather did get pretty crazy for a while, but it absolutely didn’t put a damper on Susie & Mitch’s wedding day, not a bit. The Tea Garden was a stunning venue for (as Susie put it) 112 of their nearest & dearest to share in a fantastic celebration that was filled with so much laughter, you couldn’t hear the rain anyway!

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!
