Last week I had the pleasure of photographing my good friend and excellent make-up artist Hil Cook. Hil and I have worked on many weddings together and she always creates beautiful and timeless looks for her brides. Hil has invented the fantastic Solution Buds. They are cotton buds filled with makeup remover so you can correct little makeup smudges caused by mascara and eye shadow. She originally made them for her make-up artists to use on high definition tv and movie projects, but soon realised she was on to a winner and I couldn’t agree more. You can by Solution Buds from New World supermarkets and many chemists are stocking them too. Rush out and get some now.

It was a beautiful winters day for Rachael and Bruce’s wedding. For the second time this year I took photos in the lush surroundings of Wilton Bush, you can see more images here. Rachael and Bruce and their combined families wisely had their photos before their ceremony at Wilton House. With daylight savings gone the light is better earlier in the day and having photos done before the wedding lets couples stay with their guests for all of the wedding. Wilton House provided a fitting venue for a winter wedding, with the ceremony conducted in front of an open fire.

Rachel and Rene’s small, intimate, family wedding was the perfect setting for my 150th wedding. Thank you to all the couples who have helped make up that 150. That’s 300 people I have taken photos of as they declare their love for each other and say “I do”. Here’s to the next 150 weddings.

Jules is a good friend of mine, and I was recently lucky enough to photograph her and Bridget’s small and intimate wedding. They were fortunate with their wedding venue at Otari Bush in Wilton, as the weather held off long enough and there was no nasty Wellington wind to contend with. They both looked fantastic and we had a great deal of fun taking photos around Civic Square and in Wilton Bush. Their reception party really took off at Red Square on Blair Street. Thanks guys for a fun day.

It was a fine and sunny day for Suzanne and Craig’s wedding at Erskine Chapel in Island Bay. I met Suzanne at Is Bliss Salon and Spa for hair and makeup before going on to the Lighthouse in Island Bay to get ready. Erskine was perfect, as it always is. We had time for a picnic in the gardens and then we nipped down to Island Bay for some beach shots. Suzanne’s beautiful gown was by Wedding Belles and her lovely hydrangea flowers were arranged by Susan White Florist on Taranaki Street.

We recently photographed Mandy and Christian Cullen’s wedding for the New Zealand’s Woman’s Weekly. Mandy and Christian chose the beautiful Assisi Gardens in Gladstone, which overlooks the Wairarapa, as their wedding venue. Guests arrived by bus and enjoyed the impressive views which were made all the more amazing by the stunning weather. Friends and family joined the couple afterwards for their reception at Greytown’s iconic The White Swan.

Claire and Nathan were married at The Woolshed on Ohariu Farm on a beautiful clear autumnal day. Claire’s dress came from Australia and her flowers were handcrafted by Victoriana florist. Their flower girl Bailey added cuteness and the Cottage, on site at Ohariu Farm, provided a rustic backdrop for the bridal party photos.

It was a family affair for Kathy and Graham who included their three children in their bridal party. They were married at the idyllic St Christopher’s Church in Seatoun and then carried on to their reception at The White House restaurant on Oriental Parade. Kathy and the girls had their hair and make-up done at Cathy Davys hair design and day spa and Kathy’s exquisite gown was a perfect fit from Jane Yeh.

Rebecca and Josh spent their wedding day at the beautiful and convenient Parehua Country Estate in the Wairarapa. Beautiful for great locations and convenient because you don’t have to leave the grounds the entire day. Nestled in between grape vines and with its own mini lake it offers many great spots for photos. Rebecca and her bridesmaids had their makeup done by the talented women from Hil Cook and her dress was by Australian designer Essense. We all had a fun day and the party was in full swing by the time we left.
