Dhanniya & Zach – Soljans Estate Wedding

Dhanniya and Zach chose to have their wedding at the beautiful Soljans Estate Winery in Kumeu, West Auckland. One of the main perks of shooting a wedding at this venue is the number of on-site locations we have for photos! The day went perfectly according to plan, and the speeches during the reception drew waves after waves of laughter from everyone present.

After Dhanniya and Zach had some action on the dance floor, I decided to sneak the couple out for some quiet time and a photo under the starry night sky before the clouds rolled in! It was a pleasure being there to document such a huge day and I can’t thank them enough!

Do feel free to leave a comment for the newly-weds at the bottom of the page, I’m sure they’d love to hear from you!

David & Amy – Auckland Domain Engagement Session

Sometimes you meet people who are so positive that their positive vibes just rob off on you. David and Amy are definitely one of those people which led to an awesome engagement session for the couple. We shot in two different places and for the second location, we actually spent over twenty minutes finding a car park! Regardless we still had tons of fun and ended the day with a number of cool photos.

Looking forward to your big day guys!

Neha & Hao – Pullman Auckland Wedding

Neha and Hao held their wedding at the Pullman hotel in the heart of Auckland. The ceremony took place on a terrace, and at the end of it relatives and the wedding party released balloons into the air, so cool! The couple wanted photos at St Patrick’s Cathedral (the fountain in front of it to be more precise!) due to its significance to their relationship – and we were so glad the weather turned out to be awesome. Because of the gloomy forecast for the day, I had initially come up with plans B and C for photos but they were not needed at all!

Back at the reception venue, we had lots of games to get the crowd going and before long the dance floor was packed. Slick dance moves were on full display! Thank you Neha and Hao for having me at your wedding!

Here’s a little preview of photos from the day 🙂

Taryn & Ben – Auckland Engagement Session

Taryn and Ben chose Western Springs for their engagement session and I loved the idea! Besides being scenic and beautiful, it also has a significant meaning to the couple’s relationship – this always makes the shoot much better! It was such a fun session that it felt more like catching up with friends, and it’s always a joy to see a couple warm up towards the camera more and more as the shoot goes on. We even had a few new friends join us in the photos (hint: they have feathers).

Lindie & Don – The Brigham Wedding

You can always tell how a wedding day would look like from the first couple of hours, after getting to meet the wedding party and the bride and groom’s family. Well from the get-go at Lindie and Don’s wedding, I knew the day was going to be nothing but FUN! Everyone had an awesome sense of humour, there were so many ‘interesting’ moments throughout the day and the couple was also game for some cool shots.

Thank you Lindie and Don for having me at your big day and just for the record, the cupcakes were divine!

Kylie & Kayne – The Red Barn Wedding

Earlier this year I’d covered a wedding where Kylie was the bridesmaid, and here I am shooting her wedding! Kylie and Kayne held their wedding at The Red Barn in Waikato, which is known for its distinct look and stunning location. There was never a dull moment through out the wedding day as not only did the couple have a great sense of humour, the wedding party did so too! One of the highlights of the day must have been the burnout with the Fairlane! Way to get some burning rubber on the road!

Danni & Mark – Hamilton Wedding

Danni and Mark had their wedding at Hamilton and after the ceremony we headed to the Hamilton Gardens for some photos with the wedding party. The skies looked threatening throughout the day but due to our positive energy it never went beyond a drizzle!

In fact there really wasn’t a dull moment through out the day. We got some champagne popping action going halfway through our photo session and towards the end of the wedding reception, Danni showed her appreciation for Mark’s hard work by leading a human train (with the help of awesome family members and guests)!

Thanks again for having me at your wedding Danni and Mark, hope you enjoy the photos!

Tania & Vincent – Gracehill Wedding

When Tania and Vincent told me about the timeline of their wedding day, I realized that there wouldn’t be much time available between sunset and the end of their ceremony. One other thing to note, the couple wanted to have their wedding photos done in a forest – I was more than happy to oblige as that meant more opportunities to work with cool lighting!

After spending some time scouting for potential photo locations, I suggested getting the photos done at a forest not too far from their wedding venue – the stunning Gracehill Vineyard Estate.

Tania and Vincent were awesome despite us working in a pitch dark environment. At one point we almost gave someone a scare, as a man was walking his dog close to our location and sounded shocked to see wedding photos being done in the dark. We wrapped up the shoot and returned to Gracehill for the reception. Back to where it’s nice and warm… and bright.

Lani & Frederick – The Langham Auckland Wedding

Lani and Frederick are two of the most genuine and lovely people you’ll meet, and there was nothing but positive energy throughout their wedding day! They wanted their reception to be exceptional, and decided to go ahead with The Langham Hotel as their reception venue. Needless to say, after getting some photos done at the Auckland Domain, we made it a point to have some more photos at The Langham itself! With lots of dance and music going on throughout the day, there were also emotional and heartfelt moments to be had. It was an honour being a part of your special day Lani and Fred! Enjoy the sneak peek, more to come!
