Wellington Wedding Photographer

Wellington Wedding Photographer | Boomrock Wedding | Mark & Kate

Posted on October 4, 2016 by candycapco

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to blog about this wedding.
I remember this day so well because,
Firstly, It’s really hard to forget Mark and Kate, not only do they look gorgeous on the outside, they are also beautiful inside.
Secondly, I got to ride the helicopter for the first time that day!
Thirdly, Mark and Kate chose to do a ‘first look’ just before the ceremony and it was such an incredible feeling being able to capture it for them.
And lastly, the day was perfectly capped off with the most stunning sunset.
Wellington is notorious for its sunsets but the sunset that day was something else.
The sky looked like it was burning, and it was the most beautiful sight.

I think this quote perfectly sums up why I love what I do so much.
‘Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on film is captured forever.. it remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything.’ – Aaron Siskind

Boomrock Wedding: Michael & Miranda

Posted on November 18, 2015 by candycapco

I met Miranda on 01.01.2011.
I remember it well because it was the first time I photographed an Indian wedding and I remember working alongside her when she was doing the makeup for the bride.
There’s a lot of good things our photography journey has brought us to, but I will always be grateful for the friendships that have been formed through it.
My friendship with Miranda is one of them, and I couldn’t be more honoured to have documented her wedding day.

Mike and Miranda were married in the epic grounds of Boomrock and they celebrated their day with their families and closest friends.
It was a great day filled with so much laughter and happy tears with the clearest of skies.
Even all the stars were shining for them at the end of the night. It was a beautiful day from start to finish.

Mike and Miranda, thank you for letting me document this wonderful occasion for you.
I wish you both a lifetime filled with love and happiness.
Love always, Candy x

Boomrock Wedding: Michael & Catherine

Posted on October 5, 2015 by candycapco

I’m about to start making a Queensberry album for this beautiful couple and looking at their photos just reminded me of how wonderful their wedding day was.
Boomrock is one of my most favourite venues in the country, I always get excited when a couple wants me to document their wedding there.
I mean, with its amazing views and the wonderful people who run it.. add to that a sunny day and two lovely individuals who are celebrating their love, it’s definitely a recipe for perfection.
And Michael and Catherine’s wedding day was just that, a perfect day filled with so much love and laughter.

Michael and Catherine, thank you so much again for having me and letting me capture these moments for you.
I wish you both a lifetime of many more adventures and beautiful days.
Much love, Candy

Boomrock Wedding: Michael & Jenny

Posted on April 30, 2014 by candycapco

There are so many things that I love about weddings but I think my most favourite part would be the people.
I don’t think there is ever any other occasion that would have all your favourite people in the world sitting in one room celebrating love.
And to be a part of something so intimate and personal is always humbling.

Michael and Jenny’s wedding day is another reminder of how much I love what I do.
There wasn’t a single minute that day that they weren’t smiling or laughing.
They were simply happy.
Their day was perfect, filled with so many amazing details, a breathtaking venue and most of all, the people who they love the most together celebrating them.

Michael & Jenny, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day.
It was a magnificent day and I truly enjoyed every minute of it.
I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love.
Love always, Candy

A bit more soul

Posted on November 15, 2013 by candycapco

I finished editing these photos last night and thought writing about this whole experience would be the easy part.
I. was. wrong.
I have been sitting in front of my computer for the past 2 hours and I still can’t seem to find the words to describe what I felt during those 4 days I spent with these amazing people.
What I thought would just be a simple retreat learning about other people’s journey proved to be something way beyond than what I had expected. Something I didn’t even realise I needed so badly.
Yes, listening to Kate, Fiona, Jake, Mike, Oli, Sophie, Simon, Emma and Pete talk about their journey was incredible but them pouring their hearts out and giving us a piece of their soul is something that I will forever be grateful for.

I have learnt that it’s the people and the relationships you build along the way that makes this whole journey worthwhile and I’m really glad I found friends who are willing to break down their walls and grow together.
People, who, like me are just fumbling in the dark and learning as they go.
