Wellington Wedding Photographer | Upper Hutt Wedding | Brent & Claire (Sneak Peeks)

Posted on April 11, 2017 by candycapco

We’ve met and photographed a lot of wonderful human beings over the years, this year though, we got to photograph and be a part of our neighbours’ wedding!
Which was pretty darn awesome!
Brent & Claire live just 5 houses away from ours and it was a pleasure documenting their big day for them.
Here are some frames from their day.

New Zealand Wedding Photographer – Behold – Collaboration Shoot

Posted on December 19, 2016 by candycapco

This shoot has been featured over on Paper & Lace but I also wanted to post the photos here because they’re just too beautiful not to share in my own ‘home’.

I love collaborating with vendors in the industry.
This shoot took us just a little over a week to prepare, but I knew it would come out perfectly even with so little time because I was working with some of the best in the industry.
When I told Mindy, the genius behind Twig & Arrow, that I wanted something soft and romantic she knew exactly what to give me.
I am always so inspired by people I work with and so humbled that they always find the time to collaborate despite their crazy schedule.

Here’s the list of the awesome people who made this shoot possible:

Florals & Styling: Twig & Arrow
Location: Twig & Arrow Studio
Makeup: The Leo Style
Hair: Teagan Steed of Scout Hairdressing
Cake: Stiletto Studio
Model: Izzy Westerhuis from Kirsty Bunny Models
Dresses: ‘Ash’ and ‘Arrow’ Rue De Seine from Paperswan Bride

Destination Wedding Photographer | Cambridge Engagement Session | Alfred & Emma

Posted on September 5, 2016 by candycapco

I’m sure each one of us has our list of places we would love to visit one day.
I have to say Cambridge was never really on my list and I never really thought that I’d get to visit it one day.
But I did, and I even got to take my family with me.
Thanks to Alfred and Emma, who were the reason for our visit!
We even got to go on our private tour of Cambridge university because Alfred was teaching in one of the colleges at the time.
How awesome is that?!

I will forever be grateful for all the opportunities my job has given me.
Cambridge was possibly one of the most charming little towns I’ve seen, and I’m sure anyone who’d been there would agree with me when I say, it was hard not to fall in love with it.

Kapiti Coast Ever After Session: Tony & Ann

Posted on October 7, 2015 by candycapco

My season started with this lovely couple, Tony and Ann, who got married in Palmerston North in early September.
A week later, we went on a little adventure in the Kapiti Coast and did an Ever After Session because they wanted to spend as much time as they could with their guests on their wedding day.
And that they did, because these two certainly knew how to throw a party!

I stumbled upon this location when we spent a weekend in the Kapiti coast one Summer, so when Ann said she would like to go somewhere in the coast for their session, this was the first location that came to my mind.
If it wasn’t a bit far from the city, I would probably be doing a lot of my shoots here!
Just look at that stunning light and textures!

Tarureka Estate Wedding – Matt & Keryn

Posted on August 1, 2014 by candycapco

Tarureka Estate was named one of the world’s 10 best barn venues by a blog recently, which didn’t really surprise me because it is a beautiful place.
4 years and countless weddings later, it is still one of my favourite venues in New Zealand.
The light, the feel.. simply everything is amazing. There’s just really something about it.

Matt and Keryn got married in March and I’m really happy that I finally get to blog and show you the photos from their wedding.
Looking back, if I had to choose one favourite moment from that day, it would have to be when Keryn did a first look with her parents.
The look in her Mum and Dad’s eyes was so moving. Those moments are definitely what make me even more grateful for being able to do this.
Capturing those memories that people get to treasure forever is simply gratifying.

Matt & Keryn, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wonderful day.
It was beautiful from start to finish. I wish you love and happiness for your future.
Much love, Candy

The Landing Wedding: Tahl & Amanda

Posted on April 16, 2014 by candycapco

Ever since I met with Amanda and Tahl and did their engagement session late last year, I have been looking forward to this day.
Firstly, because they are truly awesome people and being around them is a joy –
and secondly because I knew I would see a lot of familiar faces.
I have been fortunate enough to be a part of some of their friends’ weddings as well so I knew how much fun Tahl and Amanda’s wedding was going to be.
And it was, even when it was threatening to rain all day, it was after all that famous Cyclone Lusi weekend. Not that it mattered, rain or hail could not have dampened this day.

Tahl and Amanda, thank you again for being so lovely and giving me the opportunity to capture this day for you.
It was such an amazing day filled with so many beautiful memories.
I wish you both a lifetime of more adventures and fun.
Love always, Candy
