There are many things I love about weddings, but I think one of my absolute favourites is seeing how excited and joyful everyone is.
Tom & Char’s big day was exactly that.
I couldn’t remember a moment when I didn’t feel just how joyful everyone was.
Being surrounded and celebrating with their favourite people, laughing, crying and dancing the night away was everything they wanted their day to be, and it couldn’t have been any more perfect.

Troy and Vi planned for a winter wonderland wedding but the weather God had other plans and gave them the most Summer-like day
on the last day of Winter last year. And despite the not so very wintery day that they had hoped for, they celebrated in style with the biggest smiles on their faces!
Troy and Vi, thank you for letting us be a part of your day!
Getting to know you and your families was the best part of documenting your day!
Love always,
Candy
Brett and Rebecca definitely knew what they wanted to do on their wedding day — to spend the majority of it laughing and having the best time with the people that matter the most to them.
And that’s exactly what they did. They laughed, they cried, and they had the most amazing day with the most amazing bunch of people.
Their day couldn’t have gone any more perfect, and if laughter really is the best medicine, then these two definitely had enough to last them a lifetime.
I think the Summer of 2018 is one that everybody who experienced it would be talking about for a very long time.
We were so fortunate that we were invited to document so many beautiful celebrations that season, and I am finally showing you one that I know I will not forget for a little while.
Warwick & Kensie’s day, to me, encapsulates what a wedding day should be.
It’s about laughing and celebrating the love that you have for each other with the people who mean the most to both of you.

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.
Jared and Liv are the kind of people who make you feel like you’ve been friends forever even though you had just met.
Liv is the kind of girl who can light up a whole town with her smile, and together they simply exude joy.
And to have played a part in their gorgeous day is something I’m really thankful for.
