Donna and Greg were married at a lovely bach in Raumati on the Kapiti Coast. The lawn stretched right out down to the beach.

When we first met to discuss their wedding I could hardly concentrate because there was a cat in the room they described their vision for the wedding by explaining that they wanted to it be relaxed and laid back, but still special. Their wedding was about more than making their relationship official, it also symbolised the bringing together of their six semi-grown kids as one family. I thought that sounds pretty darn awesome.

Their wedding day, like most of my lucky couples this season, was a roaster but with perfectly timed cloud cover for the ceremony and family formals – thanks world! I love the way these photos have turned out, I wish I could share the whole set. I have a serious problem with culling for my blog posts – this one features over 100 images (but that’s only 25% of the story!!)

I’m struggling with a song for this set – I wanted this one but it doesn’t have the right atmosphere or romance for the photos. SO, I’ve selected one of my favs, hopefully you like it too, even though its not the most perfect song for this set, sigh.

Today a Chilean sailor married the love of his life. At 13:13 on the 13th of March 2013, they recited their vows in spanish at a beach mansion overlooking Peka Peka Beach and Kapiti Island. A remote control snail arrived carrying the rings, and a crowd watched from their lounge in Chile via Skype, as the local congregation of kiwi family wept with joy.

I was there.

My audio accompaniment for this collection is here – I can’t think of a more perfect song and I’ve had it in my head all day.

Thank you so much Victor and Nimue for inviting me into the most important day of your lives, for just a few hours. Your love is a truly beautiful thing to behold.

MEANWHILE…

AND THEN IT WAS TIME…

Anyone who has spent longer than five minutes in my presence will probably have heard about how much I love white walls. It might be because I am trapped inside a snot green rental flat (even the ceiling is green) or maybe I’ve spent too much time on Pinterest but, whatever the reason, I’m a big fan of white.
So when I walked into Anna’s sister’s house to photograph her getting ready, I just about had kittens.

Add to the white, a bunch of super cute flower children, including Anna and Nathan’s precious daughter Evelyn, the most gorgeous Voon dress I’ve ever seen, and my buddy Miranda Millen.

Way to make a photographer happy!
I got to the venue shortly before Anna did, and her fantastic sense of style was evident in the table layouts and little details that all tied together perfectly. I am so obsessed with DIY flower arrangements with that cottage-y feel – my favourite!

Unfortunately Anna’s gorgeous bouquet didn’t make it to the venue (I MIGHT have been responsible for that GULP) so she had to stop in at the supermarket on the way to pick up some substitutes, which ended up tying in perfectly – no one even knew.

The ceremony was simple and relaxed. One of the best moments was when one of the pageboys spotted a cicada on Nathan’s waistcoat, and stopped the proceedings to rescue it. Cute.

It was a gloriously hot sunny day out at Duck Creek in Pauahatanui. Anna and Nathan arranged croquet, cricket, petanque and other games for their guests to enjoy while I whisked them off for their bridal portraits. One of my favourite things about Duck Creek is the little pathway across the road that weaves through the inlet reserve – there are a million gorgeous spots for photos down there. We found a little paddock off to the side, and trusting me, Anna’s bravely scaled a farm fence to reach it, that was full of perfect light – shady but bright – gorgeous!

I didn’t get to stick around for dinner, which is a pity because I’ve eaten at Duck Creek before, and they put on a mighty fine spread, but I hear the rest of the wedding went swimmingly. For such a perfect couple, you wouldn’t expect anything less.

Without further a do, the photos: starting with the perfectly pinteresting getting ready…

I recommend looking at these images with this song playing for ultimate enjoyment!
