Anna & Graeme were married last Saturday at the lovely Bracken Ridge in Martinborough. The fantastic weather we had at Boomrock the day before followed us, it was as nice a day as you could imagine. The whole day was great fun, Anna & Graeme, their wedding party, and everyone there was relaxed and very friendly, making the day about as easy for us as a wedding can be!

Here’s a small selection of photos from their day, it was so hard to narrow them down, there are too many great photos to choose from!

Latasha & Mike were married at the stunning Boomrock, in the Ohariu Valley in Wellington. The day before their wedding you could barely see your hand in front of your face as the fog and mist rolled in from the ocean, but on their wedding day it was just perfect, with blue skies and just enough of a breeze to keep people cool. Latasha, Mike, and their wedding party were lovely, fun, fantastic people to take photos of, we had a blast taking their photos!

There are so many great photos from their wedding it’s hard to choose which ones to put up! Here are some of my favorites.

Fiona & Craig ~ Ohariu Farm

14 February 2010

Fiona and Craig were married on Friday at Ohariu Farm, still one of my favorite places for weddings in Wellington. We had wind and rain buffeting us all day, but luckily the weather cleared enough for us take some quick photos of the wedding party outside. The weather didn’t get anyone down though, Fiona and Craig were happy and laughing all day, and you should see them dance!

Here are a few of my favorite images from their day.

Liz and Jimmy were married this past Saturday on the hottest day of summer so far, with their ceremony at the lovely Wallaceville Church, and their reception just down the road on a family farm. With the temperature in the low thirties and the wedding party dressed for winter just about everyone was ready to melt, we spent as much of the afternoon as possible in the shade or in the car with the air conditioning turned up high! The day turned into a lovely summers evening, with a relaxed reception on the beautiful farm.

Here are some of my favorite images from their wedding day.

Krista and Chris were married on Krista’s parents farm in Te Wharau, in the Wairarapa, about 45 minutes east of Masterton. The wedding was on the top of a hill that was accessible only by four wheel drive, but there were spectacular views, perhaps the most scenic location i’ve taken photos and definitely the most challenging to get to! As you’ll see from the photos below and we had an awesome day for it.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day

Briony and Jon were married on Saturday at Lansdowne House in Masterton. They had a great fun wedding day, with lots of time for photos so we went to lots of locations. We all got to ride the model train, and Briony went on the flying fox! Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day :)

Briony and Jon wanted a few photos in the cemetery in the middle of Queen Elizabeth Park.
