Hollie and Kevin had a beautiful wedding planned by Laura from Mint Events Wedding Planning. The ceremony was held outside on the lawn at Stoneridge Estate followed by the reception at Mt Soho. All the details that went in to the wedding were amazing, everything from stationery to table settings worked perfectly together. Hollie looked absolutely stunning in a unique dress and with her gorgeous red hair – she was a pleasure to shoot. The weather was perfect and guests had a great time enjoying old fashioned lemonade and having fun in the photo booth before dinner.

Sharon + Nick’s Spring Wedding

Fredrik — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:52:07 +0000

Time flies, Sharon and Nick had a great wedding day a couple of months back and one of my favorite so far of the season. Not only because they showed how much they were in love but that I got to shoot around Cromwell. We had met a couple of times before the wedding and one of them for an engagement session so if you haven’t seen it check it out! and I had really been looking forward to shoot their wedding.

The ceremony was at the beautiful Bannockburn church and the reception was held at The Golden Gate lodge in Cromwell. Sharon and Nick had really transformed it and it looked amazing on the day.

Winnie and Alex had a great Heli Wedding here in Wanaka. I was shooting for the brand new Wanaka & Queenstown Wedding business, heliweddings.co.nz and we had so much fun.

We did some shots down by the lake before heading back to Mountainrange lodge to meet the helicopter for heli shots up on Coromandel Peak. A beautiful and sunny day with a bit of wind which Winnie found out by having her veil fly away. A quick catch by our pilot saved the day.

Photographers from over 90 countries entered this years prestigious International Loupe Awards , so It felt great to take home 7 Awards! Last year I got a Loupe award for a heli wedding in Queenstown and i’m proud to say that I scored high with my weddings again, but this year I also won awards for my commercial work. Here are two of my favorites. The first commercial/fashion award is of local model Charlotte Gardiner with makeup by the very talented Gena Bagley. The Second shot “The running girl” was for a worldwide campaign for a client of ad agency Interbrand. Feels good to get recognition for all the hard work and big thanks to all my clients – weddings couples and corporates!
