Rippon Vineyard Wedding

I first met Barbara and Richard in a cafe in London together with Laura from Mint Events.

The ceremony was at St Pauls church, Arrowtown, after which guests were transported to Rippon Vineyard, Wanaka. Barbara and Richard had an old school VW combi waiting outside the church to take us to Lake Hayes where Over the Top helicopters collected us for heli shots on route to Rippon Vineyard. The rain was hanging in the air and  we had to find a good spot below the clouds, away from the worst rain for the location shoot before heading over the ranges to Wanaka. We did some more shots around the vineyard with the bridal party. The bridesmaids wore bright yellow Lanvin designs which made them stand out in the rainy weather.

The reception started with a champagne tower and lots of excellent videos and speeches. Its been great to see the venue take shape and its such an asset for weddings in Wanaka. For me it was great to be the photographer for the first wedding in the new building!

A great wedding that was planned  by Mint Events Wedding planning
