Vallinda and Nikki had one of the hottest days of the summer for their wedding and not a breath of wind for the ceremony up at Lookout Lodge in Wanaka.
After the ceremony we took a drive up to Lake Hawea for some lake shots and played around in the shadows of the trees before heading back to the lodge for the reception.
Natalie and Edward enjoyed a perfect warm day for their Heli Wedding in Wanaka. They are both from USA but had been studying in Dunedin and decided to have a small wedding here in NZ before heading back home.
We had two helicopters from Aspiring Helicopters to fly us up to the mountain peaks. Before taking off they did a “ First Look” shot in front of the helicopter hangar.
The Ceremony was up on Coromandel Peak and we did some more shots up there and at a few spots on the way back to Wanaka.
I did this shoot with Bob Robertson of Infinity for Property Investor Magazine a few weeks back. We had tried to fit it in earlier but due to both mine and Bob’s schedules being pretty full it took awhile to lock in a date. The whole shoot was done in less than 15 minutes and we got a great selection of shots inside and outside of the Infinity building in Wanaka.
Anna & Ross had a great wedding with lots of laughter and fun:) Anna’s parents have a lovely home just by the lake and it was perfect for “getting ready” shots. Anna and the girls Make up was done by the talented Nova Lee.
The ceremony was up at Criffel Station and it was a vintage theme. They also had a wedding cake I haven’t seen before and probably wont see in awhile unless they just started a new trend. The ceremony was done by one of my favorites, Rev Dennis Bartley. It was his last service before he retired from the local St Columbus Church.
For location shots we had Aspiring Helicopters picking us up in two helicopters and taking us for some great lakeside shots and after that up in the mountains before heading back to Criffel Station.
A couple of months back I did an architectural shoot for Homestyle Magazine here in Wanaka. Gaynor and John have a great house with many cool design features mixed in with bold patterns and colors. Homestyle Magazine liked the images of the house so much that I got the cover and 3 double page spreads:) So go and check it out!
Yesterday I shot another house for a magazine so will let you know when its coming out.
