Wedding

MALAYSIA

I'm off on another adventure.... a country I've never been too and am excited to experience... although a 'blink of an eye trip' I know its going to reap beauty and beyond.   I will be away from my emails as of Wednesday. I may have limited access to internet however please know I will return all emails as soon as I am done cuddling my girls :) Happy week xxx

I went to Mexico to shoot a wedding

You know that moment when you realize you just witnessed something amazing.  Well I just got back from Mexico and I witnessed more than amazing.  I know how lucky I am... I shall always be humble and grateful.... ALWAYS.... This wedding I cried at least 5 times or maybe it was 6... it was that blimen amazing.  I cannot WAIT to share more xx

 

 

Thank you

Where to begin???  Sun, sand, surf?  People that made me cry with laughter?   Kind heartfelt, perfect people who unselfishly allowed me to step inside their amazing worlds with nothing but love and wide open arms. To say that these beautiful people had been through a lot over the last 17 months is an understatement.  Their loss was present however  their tears were not from sadness, but that of joy, memories, laughter and a comradery of love they shared amongst each other.

My heart is stronger now that I have spent time with these people, and my heart will always be full.

Hayley, Brown Rice.... may your stars be forever aligned and may nothing stand in your way from you both being extraordinary.

 

This is just a small small amount from our time in RAROTONGA.  There are many, many more.

Such an exciting feeling in the air.  Its makes me ignite the passion I have for the things that I do.  Its a new journey and another chapter of my life.  I hope that its a story that continues on to great things. It was pouring with rain yesterday and we weren't quite sure it would go ahead.  Standing fast, we decided to carry on, almost knowing it would be ok, and it was.  I am very lucky to have some really great people around me.  All of us striving to create something magical.  Centrewood Estate Marquee's (Jo and Johnny Sutherland) a very bespoke 'travelling' venue have 2 of the most exclusive locations in Wanaka.  These locations are new and PRIME.  Nothing like this has happened in a place so magical.  There are really no adjectives to describe how breathtaking these 'spots' are.  I, being incredibly lucky was asked to be part of this journey and yesterday we set up to try and capture some of the beauty that surrounds these locations.  THE PERFECT PLACE TO HOLD A WEDDING!

Kath Mckenzie from One Fine Day was also part of our day of beauty.  Kath is Queenstown/Wanaka based and her style, grace and eye for exception is inspiring.  Her passion and love for what she creates is beyond brilliant.  I can quite confidently say that she is amazing at what she does and is going to do extraordinary things within the wedding event/planning industry in Central Otago (and beyond).

So I am thrilled to be working with two amazing vendors, people that are not, 'get lost in the numbers corporations' but owner operators that truly have a love for what they do and the love for making their couples, family and friends smile...  This makes us a little bit different from the rest.

This first location was Burdon's beach, about 10 mins from Wanaka township, private, beautiful and completely breathtaking.

The models (ahem) as it happens were the first wedding that I ever shot!!  Yes 2 beautiful children later, and she still looks amazing (as do you Ben x) !!

If you would like more information on the venue's please contact Centrewood Estate Marquee's (their Wanaka website is coming soon)

Enjoy xx

 

To be

You know when you meet someone and instantly you realize that they are people that have the capability of making you want to be a better person. Their hearts are in these places that only some possess.   You see their friends and family  congregate with pride and the knowing that they will always have them in their lives.

Roger and Esther are these two people.  Their spirit and love they have for their closest is a force to be reckoned with.  The kindness they ooze is infectious, and the love and respect they have for one another is something amazing.  Again I am speechless and again I can honestly say I have the BEST job in the world.
