These guys are FUN! Can you tell?

After a whirlwind romance, David popped the question to Caroline and of course she said yes.  These two are crazy. They speak cat to each other (and apparently have whole conversations in cat).  They are so very much in love and it is so obvious to everyone around them.  You guys warm my heart - thank you so much for allowing me to be your photographer. x

After some quite disturbingly heavy rain, this is what I saw when I left my house. The most beautiful double rainbow which, for the couple, was definitlely a good omen (not bad for photographers either!)


At the girls' camp, things were going smoothly thanks to Lucy Harvey & her team.


I love this. Caroline steps outside for a few quiet moments.



And the sun kept shining...


The boys were looking very dapper!


Caroline made the coursages - isn't she clever?!





And then... a flash mob, started by the bride herself, singing "Going to the Chapel".


Then off to the Port Hills for some shots of the bridal party.  We were SO lucky with the weather.  Plus I had so much fun with these girls. :)


Then to Rossendale Winery before the ran came ... and it SO came!


Then the rain cleared...


And the most beautiful steam was rising off the road... so I MADE Caroline and David come outside for a quicky.



It's no show without punch.  Fiona & Craig (in the middle) are honorary bridesmaids.


Back inside for speeches and cutting of the cake.  These two are David's niece & nephew - soooo cute!


Reuben's best man speech was awesome.



A few last portraits before we lose the light....


Just in time for the first dance.


Singer Caroline, gets up to sing "Fever" and of course, David has to sing "Sweet Caroline"!


And so this is where I left the night...


It was awesome.

Abbey & Isaac have been married one week today!  Last Saturday (and it was another beautiful day here in Christchurch) they were married in front of their friends and family at Omarino Wine Park.  It's been a hell of a couple of years for their families and it was so lovely to see everyone coming together for this happy happy occasion.

The boys were in fine form when I arrived, already dressed and having a few quiets.


The happy groom.

Isaac checks in on Facebook at Christchurch Airport and awaits the barrage of comments ....


Over in the girls camp it is just as relaxed.


The bridesmaids steal Abbey's phone for a quick pic.  And then it's time to get the bride into her dress!


Abbey's cute wee face is just priceless.  Love it!!!


The food was goooood!  (Huh, Camilla?).


You guys are just toooo cute together!  Thank you so much for asking me to be part of your beautiful day. xxx
