…and so on….

We met Gorgeous Megan and Aaron kind of last minute. They had already organised photography for their day, but decided to change to us….something that we didn’t take lightly as we know deposits are lost at that point! I’m so grateful they did! Not only are they a really amazing couple….but they wanted us to capture the elegance and fun of their Day in a creative way (EXACTLY what we believe wedding photography should do!)….so we knew we were a perfect fit from the moment we met them.

Together we had so many ideas buzzing through our heads, and locations were not a problem as they got married at the Stone Church on the Cashmere Hills, but the Reception was at Tiffany’s….so between those two spots there is a TON of great shooting places.

Megan! you are stunning!  Magazine Bride! wow!

There Party Wall was heaps of fun…especially since we shot outside and guests were able to come out and enjoy some fresh air by the river, while also having their crazy photos taken and laughing at other’s antics! The speeches were funny, emotional and moving….and of course the food was great!

..and so was being able to do an Evening Shoot in the heart of the city….

Okay let’s be honest….is it just me or did Brothers and Sisters just get WAYYYYYYY hotter?  …and don’t even bother pretending you don’t know what I’m talking about!  I loved him in Sex & the City (okay I know he only had two lines…and I’m in such much trouble if E reads this post!) but come on, how many lines do you say when you are in the shower! I confess I went to see the movie twice (and not for the Sex or the City!) but because it involved a wedding and a photoshoot for Vogue, by Annie Leibovitz …my idol!

Other geat show of the year is FlashForward, but if it turns into another “Lost”, then I’m switching off.  Lost was the appropriate name for that series, as there is not one person I know who wasn’t completely “Lost” by the whole plot and what the heck was happening.  I think the actors probably needed counselling after working on that show!

Upcoming news…our last few weddings of the “season” are nearly done.. three to go, and then we are going to release some exciting news and new projects for us …and with that in mind I need two models…a bridal and a 17-18 year old (guy and/or girl is fine)…just hit the contact button above!  All images supplied on disk and facebook ready too!

I’ve worked with Aleisha and Curtis on a couple of occassions now….some of you may remember their cool Engagement shoot over in Lyttelton…so it was fantastic to finally get to see them becoming Mr & Mrs.

Not only are they super fun to hang out with, but their friends and family were awesome too!  Everyone was so excited to be part of their Day and as soon as I saw the dress, jewellery and flowers, I could already picture exactly how it was all going to come together and not only look fantastic, but be perfect for them as a couple as well.

Aleisha is so incredibly talented that she even made her bridesmaid dresses!  Wow! and they were totally HOT!…as were the bridesmaids.   Curtis’s Top hat & Tails was so perfect for him…he is such a fun, quirky, cool personality ….and really suprised Erick and I when it came to the dance!  Curtis, it isn’t that we thought you couldn’t dance, but WOW!…we had no idea how good a dancer you are…you totally rocked the dance floor as a couple!  I couldn’t resist shooting a few frames and then adding them here for other’s to admire your totally slick moves!  Since we both suck at dancing, we left at the evening feeling quite envious!

It was hard to decide what images to post here, so after I had selected a few, I realised that I had a LOT to embed….and so once again, I’m just posting a slideshow for you to enjoy!  I will come back and add music (cos everything goes better with music ….except some of the latest American Idol contestants of course!)  ….so just give it time to download..

and a special thank you! to the wee gymnastic girls who were more than happy to come and “play” in front of the Bride & Groom….I love it when we have all our shots “in the bag” and get a chance to try something different and push the boundaries, and client’s that love it when we do that too!
