Here are some more photos of Anna and Tim's perfect day.  The ceremony was held at Tim's parents garden.  Oh my, what an amazing garden it is!  It's really more like a small park.

This has got to be one of my favourites of the day!  Isn't Anna just a splendid bride?

Hair and makeup done by Deirdre at 'Locks and Lashes'.

Possibly the cutest bride's purse I've seen yet!

The beautiful ladies, ready to go!

Meanwhile Tim is waiting for his bride to arrive.

I love this shot, look at Tim's adoring face! 

Just look at that cute little guy - Seth was completely oblivious to what was going on.

Sometimes the sneaky candids can be the most beautiful photos.

The lads.

And then they were off to Raupo Cafe for the reception.  How's this for a stylish ride?

Marcel was there to start the evening off for everyone introducing a six course meal, including some dutch favourites that made me want to hang up my camera and pull up a pew. 

The speeches went without a hitch, and got a few good laughs along the way.

What struck both Paul and I was how attractive the guests were at this wedding, so friendly and open.  I wish I could have posted lots more photos of y'all here - but alas then it wouldn't be a preview would it?  :)

It was our absolute honour to be part of your day guys.  We're looking forward to showing you the rest of the photos!

I've been a little blog neglectful lately, I've been happily updating weddings, and forgetting the fact that Paul has been taking some stellar images that really should be seen!

This was a shot for Bayleys, I think it looks just like a painting.

Tonight's sunset was promising to be rather lovely, so I handed Paul the camera and told him to get out there and shoot it.  Nice one babe!

In other news:

All our tadpoles have become frogs and finally (thankfully!) left home.  The kids had a great time watching these amazing little things, but I'm awfully pleased to have 30 less animals to look after!

We're so excited to be shooting Anna and Tim's wedding tomorrow!  Can't wait to be part of their big day, and I'm sure little Seth is going to steal the show...  Watch this space!

It was another beautiful sunny day in Blenheim yesterday!  I knew Hannah was going to be a beautiful bride, but she positively glowed, even before she had her wedding dress on!

I love this shot Paul grabbed of Lance waiting for his bride down the aisle.

After the ceremony we went to a farm that has been in Hannah's family for 5 generations.  Her veil belongs to her mother, and I made sure I made the most of the veil and wind combination!

And at Rarangi Beach the wind settled just long enough for us to have some cool shots.

It was a really great wedding, and both Paul and I had a lot of fun with these guys!

Yesterday was beautiful, warm and sunny.  Perfect for Michelle and Murray to get married!  Our new lens had arrived in time, so I was feeling pretty darn happy about life!

Michelle looked absolutely gorgeous, love the tiara!

.... and the most beautiful details on her dress.

The colour in the flowers was absolutely amazing, beautifully orchestrated by Pink Poppy here in Blenheim.

Check out Riley, don't ya just want to squeeze those cheeks?!

And three year old Jackson, who was wondering what all the fuss was about.

Meanwhile, Paul was with the guys.

Then we headed off to the beautiful Hortensia Gardens.

And then off to Brancott for some more photos and the reception!

I told the guys to pose like a Boy Band...hehe, apparently that wasn't going to happen!

So check out the cake!  Wicked :)

Michelle made a beautiful speech.

As did Murray.

Check these two stud muffins out.  Love the suits!!

More of the flowers!

Hmmm... I think I may have overdone the preview!  Anyway guys, thanks so much we were honoured to be part of your big day!
