Micaela and Tom were married on what turned out to be a bright sunny day in Martinborough after predictions of rain during the week. They opted for a first look before the ceremony to ensure their day was a relaxed affair. Penny found a private location and captured the moment they saw each other for the first time in an intimate setting. The ceremony took place on the beautiful lawns of Brackenridge Country Retreat. A perfect setting to mingle with guests and enjoy delicious Ruth Pretty catering. Congratulations Micaela and Tom! Bride's dress: White by Vera Wang.

Did you know you can type/paste multiple file names into the Meta-data text search in Lightroom 5 and it searches for all those images in one hit? "So what?" I hear you say. Well . . . Let me explain. . . Imagine for a moment that after photographing a school over 2 or 3 days and then after extensive quantity reducing of the photographs you find that you are left with 1000+ images that are shown to the parents of the school. Of these photographs we need to go through and pick all the photographs the parents have ordered . . . over 400 photographs! That is a lot of searching and labelling in Lightroom. Now by copying and pasting all the file names (files separated by spaces), into the search box in Lightroom's Metadata filter you can search for all the files in one hit saving you hours of time and tedious fun. Maybe I am getting all excited for nothing, but I thought all you other photographers out their may benefit from this revelation of mine. Happy Lightrooming Simon *** Edit - I have just found this advanced plugin for the same feature. Now I am really exited. Sad I know - http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/extended-search *** Kate and Andy are Kiwis who currently reside in the UK. They choose to get married in Kate's hometown Wanganui last year at the lovely Puketea Estate. Many guests had traveled some distance to join in the celebrations and the couple put a lot of thought into making sure they would enjoy the weekend. Kate (and her Mum) planned the smallest of details, from the handmade pom poms to the lawn games for guests to play. Everyone had a great time, the packed dancefloor at the end of the night says it all... Happy Anniversary Kate and Andy!

This was taken in beautiful dappled light shortly after they saw each other for the first time. More to come in a few weeks... We photographed Mother and Daughter duo Nikki and Jordan for Woman's Day magazine out in Lower Hutt recently. This week the Masterchef 2014 contestants made the cover. Here is a little more from the afternoon including Jordan's daughter Elsiana. American Joey and Kiwi Trudy met when Joey and his friends were traveling around New Zealand. Fast-forward a few short years, international trips and a romantic proposal bringing us to Penny photographing their wedding in Miramar on the 23rd of March 2013. Trudy has been involved with many weddings so she and Joey were well prepared for planning a day that everyone would enjoy. The day started with a ceremony lead by Rev Tim McKenzie at St Aidan's in Miramar. The warm wooden church was filled by family and friends, many of whom took part in the ceremony. Everyone then moved outside to partake in bubbles, dumplings from the House of Dumplings and a delicious chocolate and fig wedding cake baked by Trudy and iced by her Mum. The reception at The Roxy started with pre-dinner cocktails while Trudy's cousins played the piano. A mutual love of books and scrabble showed through in the venue decoration. Family style tapas encouraged guests to interact, finished off with mini desserts and a donut tower. Happy 1st Anniversary Trudy and Joey. Here's to many more! - Hayley Dress: Re De Seine Make up and hair: Claudine Stace Flowers: Flowers Manuela Bridget and James chose a stunning homestead for their wedding celebrations last month. Te Parae is a homestead set in stunning grounds just outside Masterton. James and his groomsmen got ready for the day at Te Parae and enjoyed a spot of golf and shooting in the morning while Bridget and her girls were pampered. The Masterton weather was perfect and following the ceremony the guests enjoyed the al fresco setting. The bridal party had all their photographs taken within the grounds, isn't the boat shed gorgeous.... Simon recently photographed Ben Sigmund, his wife Deanna and their two children Cameron and Ashley for Woman's Day magazine. The All White and Wellington Phoenix footballer talks about how the family is adjusting to life as a family of four. The article is in Woman's Day this week on page 30 so we thought we would share a few extra images from the shoot... As promised we have a bit more of Karlie and Jason's wedding for you today. Karlie's day started at The Wellesley Boutique Hotel where she got ready and Penny captured some stunning portraits on the staircase. Meanwhile Jason and his groomsmen got ready and headed out to Boomrock for some clay shooting before the wedding. Karlie grew up in Tasmania and Jason in New Zealand, so they chose Boomrock for it's beautiful views over the Tasman sea. They had a glorious sunny day with a little Wellington wind that almost claimed Karlie's veil at one point. Flower crowns, chalkboard messages and a candy buffet - we will let the images of the rest of the talking... |
