Inspiration Boards – Wedding Shoes

What kind of girl doesn’t like shoes… and what’s even better is when its lots of shoes!!  This week our wedding inspiration features a few of the gorgeous pairs of shoes we’ve come across at some recent weddings.   Its fantastic to see some brides stepping outside the square and going with coloured shoes that match their wedding colours – they always look great!   I wonder what fashion will bring to this season?:) 

Inspiration Boards – Beautiful Bouquets

Something a little different for a blog post today, some inspiration perhaps for some of our upcoming brides.    With not a lot of weddings going on in Winter, our blog fills up with portraits instead – so to keep the wedding theme going – here is a selection of some of the many gorgeous bouquets and flowers we came across in the last few seasons.   Perhaps you’re looking for ideas for your flowers, or just love anything wedding related.   We saw a range of different styles and colours, although most stuck with the classical white or pale pinks.   Enjoy!

Stacey – Maternity Portraits

Stacey, Dave & Jack travelled up from Matamata today for some lovely maternity portraits.   I last saw this beautiful family back in January for some family portraits and it was great to see Jack again and see how much he’s grown!   Last time it was all about him – but this time they’re expecting a new baby brother or sister for Jack.   Stacey isnt due for another couple of months, but tight schedules meant that we had to schedule in her session just a bit earlier.  We had a lot of fun trying some different looks while Dave kept Jack occupied with toys and blocks.  Jack did very well to last almost to the end of the session before he had enough!  I can’t wait to meet their new babe in October/November for some newborn cuddles and photos.  Here’s a few images of the beautiful Stacey:)Enjoy!

Esera & Lorna’s Island Wedding

We’ll admit it, we’ve been quite excited about this wedding for a few months now and it was well worth the wait.  The perfect time of year for an island getaway – we definately weren’t sad that we missed out on all the rain and cold in Auckland!!:)  Esera & Lorna’s beautiful wedding took place at Sa’Moana Resort on the island of Upolo in Samoa.   Esera is from Samoa, and it was great to gain an insight into his culture along with Lorna’s family and many guests that had travelled far and wide (including ourselves!) to share in their special day.

Sa’Moana was the perfect location and we were spoilt for choice with photo locations, ranging from the volcanic rock, to sand amongst coconut palms, and eventually heading out the back of the resort to a tropical Japanese type garden.  Throughout the wedding and celebrations we were treated to a number of Samoan traditions which was great.  A huge thank you to Esera & Lorna for allowing us to share in their day and the opportunity to travel with them (even on the same flight out!):)It was our first time to Samoa and we had a whole lot of fun.  We took the opportunity for some much needed R&R at Sinalei Reef Resort and and to finish our week with their gorgeous wedding really was special.   We had a hard time narrowing it down for the blog – but here is a taste of Samoa!  Enjoy!

The first image is the beautiful beach in front of Sa’Moana at low tide.  Unfortunately the tide was fully in during & after the wedding and we couldn’t get down in between the rocks, but I’ve included this image to set the scene a bit:)

Warren Williams - Awesome set of photos! I can see you two doing more Pacific destination weddings next year ;)

Jameson – Newborn Portraits

LIttle Jameson made his entrance into the world earlier than expected, and he’s such a cute wee man.   Tiny hands and fingers and tiny facial features that were trying oh so hard to focus on everything around him.   Jameson was a trooper and tried his hardest to stay awake for our shoot.  He was happy to have his creature comforts such as his dummy and tv on in the background too!   Here’s a few favourites from his session.  Enjoy!
