Wellington Lifestyle Photographer – Eat My Lunch – Fundraiser Portrait Session

Posted on September 28, 2018 by candycapco

Last month, I hosted a weekend of portrait sessions at Twig and Arrow’s studio as a way of giving back to the community. My heart is so full looking at these images because these are the families who believed in our cause and donated so generously.
With their donations, we were able to buy 900 packed lunches from Eat My Lunch and give them to children in the country, who would otherwise go to school without. I am really blown away and beyond grateful.

And of course this wouldn’t have been successful without the support from these amazing people.

Wellington Wedding Photographer | Boomrock Wedding | Mike & Lauren

Posted on June 29, 2018 by candycapco

It’s a little hard to believe that Mike and Lauren tied the knot 8 months ago now!
I remember how windy and overcast it was that day, and when we thought we weren’t going to get the golden sunset that we were hoping for, the clouds made way to the setting sun and we had the most orange skies.
It was glorious, and just the perfect way to end an already amazing day for two amazing people.

Wellington Wedding Photographer | Brackenridge Wedding | Patrick & Isabelle

Posted on June 22, 2018 by candycapco

We did a crazy thing in January, where we photographed 4 weddings in a row, and 10 in total for the month of Jan.
I thought I would be exhausted and won’t have the energy and motivation to photograph the rest of our wedding season, but being around happy people really is contagious.

Patrick and Isabelle’s wedding was one of those weddings we photographed in January.
It was a little touch and go with the weather but when you’re surrounded by people who love you the most, and who are there to celebrate one of the happiest days of your life with you, who really cares if it rains a little right?

New Zealand Wedding Photographer | Wharekauhau Lodge Wedding | Mark & Glenda

Posted on May 31, 2018 by candycapco

Glenda and Mark celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary last Winter renewing their vows in front of their closest friends and family in the most quaint little church just outside of Martinborough, and I’m so happy that I’m finally able to share their photos with you.
I love how they still look at each other as if they just started dating yesterday. These two are ultimate couple goals!

Wanaka Wedding Photographer | The Lookout Lodge Wanaka, Wedding | John & Elizabeth

Posted on January 16, 2018 by candycapco

I talk about how important it is to connect with my clients a lot.
Since I’m probably the one couples spend the most of their time with on their wedding day, having that connection helps me tell their stories even better.
I met John at one of my couples’ weddings in 2016, he was the emcee for that day.
So I was thrilled when I got an email from him a few months later asking if I’d be interested in documenting their wedding in Wanaka!
I don’t think any photographer in their right mind would say no to that opportunity really, especially when you’re going to be working with the most lovely people.

Every single one of their guests traveled to celebrate with them.
And when I asked them why they chose to get married in Wanaka, they simply said that it’s their most favourite place in the world.

Wellington Wedding Photographer | Couple Portrait Session | Isaac & Larissa

‘Like a river flows surely to the sea, darling, so it goes. Some things are meant to be.’
– Elvis Presley

They say that everything happens for a reason.
I think that fate has a way of bringing people into our lives.
Whether it be someone you choose to spend the rest of your life with or a friend you need at that point in your life.
For Isaac and Larissa, they strongly believe that fate brought them together 6 years ago.
They met at the perfect time, when both of them needed each other.
And since then they have been each other’s best friend and confidant.

Isaac and Larissa are some of the most gorgeous and genuine people I have had the pleasure of knowing through our photography journey.
And though I have worked with Larissa a number of times before, she’s the amazing lady behind The Leo Style, it was still so beautiful to see how the two of them interact with each other.
The way they laugh and hold each other is just proof that they were meant to be together.

Larissa’s engagement ring and wedding band are from Michael Hill
So is the rose gold ring she stacked with another delicate white gold ring
