Andrew & Amanda’s Bridgewater Estate Wedding

Friday the 27th of January dawned grey and dramatic.  With misty rain sweeping through the Auckland metropolis, Bridgewater Estate was always going to provide a stunning backdrop for  Andrew and Amanda’s wedding.  With it’s lush gardens and spacious lawns it didn’t disappoint, even in the wet!    As good friends of ours from photography circles, it was an honour to be chosen to capture Andrew and Amanda’s special day.  The day began with preparations onsite – at opposite ends of the venue.     Christelle did a fabulous job with Amanda, her bridesmaid and Amanda’s mum too – with everyone looking stunning.    Meanwhile, the lads “suited up” in between taking care of the final reception details and greeting the early guests.

As the scheduled ceremony time approached, the clouds had one final shower to impart before blue sky battered the clouds out of the way.  The slightly delayed start time was well worth the wait, as the entertaining, personal, and truly unforgettable ceremony unfolded before us – featuring music from Dr Who, and the Star Wars Imperial March(!!!) – and that was just the start.     Andrew and Amanda – it was a privilege and an honour to capture & share your day with you.   It was refreshing to see such a unique day unfold as you added your own personal touches, and broke with tradition.   We wish you both all the best for your future together.  Enjoy this selection of images, with many more to come!
