Alex & Chris - September 7, 08

Alex and Chris were married at Morgan Creek Golf Course.  I started the day with the girls getting ready.  Here are a few shots...

Alex and Chris decided to meet before the ceremony.  We arranged this at the Stewart Farmhouse.

We did a few shots there....

...before heading down to Crescent Beach.  The beach was the most crowded I've ever seen, but we still managed to get some good shots...

Then it was off to get married......here are the rings....

Our beautiful bride.....

And our groom and brother kickin'....

Then it was on to the reception.  Here's a sneak peak of the first dance....

Congrats you two - it was an absolute pleasure to photograph for you.  All the best!

Wendy & Andrew - August 17, 2007

I first met Wendy and Andrew the day before their wedding. All of our communication up until then had been by email or through wedding planner Kerry Reid, as they are based in the States. I was surprised to find myself surrounded by Kiwis as Andrew is from Hawkes Bay and 3 out of the 4 groomsmen were also from New Zealand. Some family and friends had also made the journey over for the wedding.

We started the day at Wendy's hotel room in White Rock. I love getting the detail shots at this point.

Their ceremony was at Morgan Creek Golf Course. Although rain had been forecast, the weather held and the ceremony took place in the gardens. Maori blessings and readings were incorporated into the ceremony which brought a tear to my eye.


Andrew's ring is truly awesome - it has the carvings of his tribe in the design. Very, very special.


We took some photos with the bridal party in the gardens.


Then we had some time at the pier in White Rock to get some shots of the happy couple before heading back to the party.


Canuck + Kiwi = happy

All the best, Wendy and Andrew!
