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.
Venue: Rose & Smith
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
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.

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’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.

Tarureka Estate is one of the places / venues I can never get tired of.
One of the very first weddings I’ve ever covered was in Tarureka and the excitement I had then at that first wedding is still very much present whenever I’m back there.
Especially when there are amazing people involved.
Matt and Anna were married on the day they met 8 years ago.
A friend had set them up for a blind date in Wellington and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
Their wedding day was filled with sunshine and laughter.
The perfect day for two very beautiful people.
Matt and Anna, thank you so much for letting us play a small part on your big day.
Jay and I truly enjoyed hearing stories about your adventures together and getting to know you more.
We wish you both a lifetime of wonderful memories you can share together.
Much love, Candy & Jay
