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.

Naomi and Kai came all the way from London to get married here in Wanaka and all guest came from various parts of the world to join them.

Wanaka Heli Wedding

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.

Rippon Vineyard Wedding

Another great destination wedding at Rippon vineyard planned by Mint Events. Angie and Brendan had an amazing wedding with lots going on over the whole day. Angie spent the morning getting ready at the Lakehouse before heading out to the ceremony at Rippon. Phillipa Cook was the celebrant and did a great job as usual. We did the location shots around the vineyard before heading back in time for the their MC, Pro Surfer Luke Monro, to invite everyone to enjoy a traditional Maori performance before dinner.

Studio shoot for Make up Artist Gena Bagley

I shot these model studio shots a while back but haven’t had the chance to put them up the blog. I love Gena’s Make up and she is always great to work with.
We had a basic set up and shot it all in in one morning, the models did a great job too.

Sharon & Nick’s E-Session in Wanaka

Fredrik — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:24:40 +0000

It was great to meet Sharon and Nick, when they visited Wanaka a few weeks ago for their e-session. I thought I’d get the blog post up of the shoot in time for their wedding day, which is this Saturday. It’s always nice when you get to shoot engagement sessions with couples, you get to know each other a bit more and it helps them feel much more relaxed about having their photos taken at the wedding. The theme for the wedding is blossoms so we managed to find one small blossom tree to work with:) A fun day out and I cant wait for their wedding.

Louise & Oliver are originally from the UK but live in Christchurch. They decide to elope to Wanaka for their Wedding at beautiful River Run Lodge. We had some fun, shooting around the lodge before heading down to the lakefront for some more photos before going back to River Run for dinner.

Trash The Dress photoshoot

Fredrik — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:34:57 +0000

I shot the beautiful wedding of Kamilla and Rodney a few days before in Queenstown and they decided it would be a waste not to get more use of the dress and the amazing nature around Wanaka.

We set out midmorning to do a couple of locations but spent the whole day having fun. It all ended it the lake and Kamilla braved the cold water for a swim in her wedding dress. If you want to see more images from the actual wedding day check this link out Queenstown Autumn Wedding

Summer was the busiest Wedding Season ever and I cant say winters been quiet, just slowing down a bit. Last week I shot Louise and Oliver’s wedding here in Wanaka and this week its Claire and Callum’s Wedding in Queenstown.

We had a family holiday at the end of June in Noosa which was great to spend time playing on the beach and in the pool with Lucas and just enjoy some summer.

I was planning to get straight into preparing for the upcoming Iris Awards but had a slight set back with a ruptured appendix and a long ambulance ride to Dunedin hospital in the snowy weather! Fortunately, no surgery required, but the reason it’s been a bit quiet on the blog and face book front, is that I had to spend a week in hospital ( extension of holiday) but I am back to full force now and feeling great!

Two days after I got home, I did another big Heli shoot with Alpine Helicopters for Minaret Station in a meter of snow, minus 7 to 10 at night with no door on the helicopter, it was a bit chilly up there. The most exciting thing was that we did the main shoot at 2 o’clock in the morning in the light of the full moon! It was definitely a new experience to fly helicopter at that time of night and the images came out amazing.

A Rainy Wanaka Wedding

Fredrik — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 01:20:41 +0000

It rained on Laura and Simon’s wedding but it was fine when it needed to be! The ceremony was held out at beautiful Glendhu Bay and the rain held off long enough until the formal shots, when a few umbrellas were needed. They used Aspiring helicopters with two choppers flying us up to a great location and we managed to get some nice misty shots before heading back down. On the way back to the reception at Oakridge resort we grabbed a few location shots by the lake. Back at Oakridge all the guest were enjoying canapes and drinks and instead of a cake Laura & Simon had opted for a Champagne Tower and I got some great shots to finish off the day.
