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

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
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.

We have always tried our best to limit the weddings that we shoot in the Wellington/Wairarapa region during the Summer season because as parents of a school kid,
it’s just easier.
However, we did the most traveling we’ve ever done in a wedding season this Summer because who in their right mind would really say NO to beautiful destination weddings?
Our mantra has always been ‘we will make it work’, and we did, with the help from our amazing village of friends and family who always have our backs.
Felix and Kristina’s wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
Not just on the wedding day itself, the days leading up to the wedding, doing all sorts of activities with their friends and family who traveled to celebrate with them, were just incredible.
It was raining really hard the day before the wedding, but on the day, despite the threatening dark clouds in the horizon, there was not a single drop of rain.
It was our first time in Rarotonga, and we loved every minute of being there. The island reminded me so much of the Philippines and we will definitely be back again.
Felix and Kristina, thanks again for taking us to this paradise-like place. It was so beautiful to witness you celebrate with your loved ones!
We wish you both a lifetime of many more awesome adventures!
Much love, Candy & Jay
January was probably our craziest month to date, on top of 6 weddings that we documented, we spent 10 days exploring the South Island for a commercial work that we were doing for Volkswagen NZ.
Morgan and Charlotte’s day was one of those beautiful weddings we got to photograph in January, and 5 months later, here I am finally showing you the photos from their amazing day.
If someone asked me how I would describe being in love, I’d simply show them photographs of Morgan and Charlotte, because that’s how they are, so head over heels in love with each other.
The way they look at each other, the way they smile at each other.. there’s just so much love and joy.
And their wedding day was filled with just that, love and joy. So much of it.
