Wedding in Hobbiton: Steve and Desiree (New Zealand photographer)

Wedding in Hobbiton is truly magical place on Earth! Steve and Desiree come to New Zealand from Michigan, USA to celebrate this special day with their close friends and family. It was a honour for me to be their photographer, and to be part of this celebration.

Hobbiton is a dream come true to many people from all over the world. Wedding in Hobbiton feels just magical!

Steve & Desiree made their way from Michigan, US to get married in New Zealand in such a special place, surrounded by close friends and family.

Congratulations to this beautiful couple! Happy future together!

Couple shared their love story: “n 2011 we met through a mutual friend in high school. We went to college together and reconnected in 2021 when I moved back to MI and were both living in Grand Rapids. We have been dating almost 4 1/2 years, engaged for a year and 4 months.” Proposal was made when: “We went to the UP (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan as I always wanted to be proposed to in front of a waterfall. After a small hike to the waterfall he proposed at the base of the waterfall.”

Couple was the most excited about: “to start the beginning of the rest of our lives together while enjoying it with family and a wonderful venue.”

Hobbiton Movie Set {New Zealand wedding-family photographer - personal}

Did you ever been in Hobbiton Movie Set, one of the most famous New Zealand attraction? Im as a wedding photographer cant help myself and capture some personal images in this beautiful setting!

You may noticed how quiet its been here over last couple of weeks/months. The answer is easy, I been giving more of my time to my family before busy wedding season start rolling {I actually almost don’t have a break during this winter, such a busy time all year long}. So Im keep shooting weddings, photo shoots, but also get an opportunity to sneak out to picturesque places for a few days with my family and kids.

This time we spent couple of nights in Rotorua and visited Hamilton Gardens on the way, Was-o-Tapu Thermal wonderland, Rainbow Springs and highlight of our trip - Hobbiton movie set. Need to mentioned my mum come over to New Zealand from Russia for a first time, so good to travel around and show our amazing country with tranquil and beautiful landscapes!
