Waihi Beach pre-wedding | engagement session {Waikato - Auckland NZ weddings photographer} Rochelle and Matt

Excited to share with you a highlights from Rochelle & Matt's pre-wedding | engagement session on Waihi Beach {Waikato NZ} where I drove from Auckland to capture special for couple moments with their family. Can't wait to to be their wedding photographer in Tauranga, not long to go now!

It was such a great time on the beach just before the sunset, with warm and positive emotion and lots of love. 

Couple shared their love story: "Matt and I meet 3.5 years ago through mutual friends. Matt facebook stalked me by looking through the mutual friends friends list. At this time Matt and I traveled a lot for our work, we both happened to be in Wellington at the same time and tee'd up a "date" which went really well so we tee'd up another more formal date the following weekend when we were back in Auckland. he took me to a really romantic French Restaurant, I had an allergic reaction to either the Lesgargot or the french dessert wine and he had to take me home really early.... Luckily my sneezy puffy face with crying eyes didn't scare him away.... and the rest is happily ever togetherness and foreverness history xxxx". The proposal: " Poor Matt tried to Propose many many times, apparently the ring had been out with us many times whilst Paddleboarding, hiking and out on dinner dates, Fiji, and another promise type ring in Noosa. Eventually he managed to pull it off during one of our hikes."

Forest - Beach Maternity Session {Auckland lifestyle photographer}

We had amazing time with Tara and Taka on their maternity photo shoot in the forestry Karekare and Kariotahi Beach {Auckland, NZ}. We decided to have a one bonus photo shoot at the beach in addition to time in the forest. It was a great pleasure to capture so special for couple moments. I usually take on mostly weddings and engagement photo shoots but sometimes its so magical and refreshing to capture a beauty of maternity and such emotional relationship.

Auckland pre-wedding | engagement session - Anita and Jay {New Zealand wedding photographer} Parnell Rose Garden

We met with Anita and Jay on Sunday afternoon, it was a chance of rain, and we got it, but still manage to enjoy our session - engagement photo shoot in Parnell Rose Garden {Auckland, New Zealand}. I so excited about this pre-wedding session and can't wait to be their wedding photographer just in one month time! Not long to go now!

Engagement sessions always a great way to better know the couple and feel how we all roll, get some stunning photos, especially with make-up and hair trial and get a little bit more freedom than on the wedding day.

The couple shared their love story, how they met: "From the groom's perspective:
We first met on my first day of work where I was starting a new at the Auckland City Hospital as it's liver transplant team pharmacist. We worked in very different departments so the only time we managed to interact each other was via mutual friends or after work we'd stop and have a chat with each other before going home. 
It was before Christmas in 2016 that we were invited by mutual friends out for a kayak trip out at Puhoi. I had thought about asking her out before this but wasn't quite sure of the circumstances, so this kayak trip was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better ... And here we are... "

How was proposed: "Full story: I had already thought of three occasions to propose that was already in our calender, Waiheke for her birthday, June where we would be visiting the Franz Josef Glaciers and August where we would be going to Wellington. 
I had hinted it would be June with the glaciers as we would be taking a helicopter up and so it would be an exceptional occasion but little did she know I was thinking of the soonest date possible straight after her birthday on Waiheke. 
We arrived in Waiheke when the weather was less than ideal; I had booked us to stay at the Oyster Inn, one of Anita's favourite places on the island. We started the day by having a small picnic by the beach, I would have done it then, but the wind was just too much, and I would have had to shout my lungs out and she probably still won't hear, and I might not even be able to her answer... so that was a no. We went back to the inn and had a bit of tea, I also had brought bottle of our favourite champagne (Perrier Joet, even at our wedding) to have possibly after I have proposed, but Anita suggested we have this with dinner, so I thought okay well I guess I'd have to do it before dinner. Now coming back to after our picnic, we had a bit of tea at the inn and then retired to our room, I just felt it was the right time, we were alone, private and I decided to get on my knees and asked her to marry me there and then in the room and of course she said yes. Now we get to enjoy the other two activities I had set up earlier. " Such a beautiful memories!

Mahinepua Beachfront House - Tim and Leanne {Northland - Auckland wedding photographer}

Leanne & Tim

It's such a pleasure to travel from Auckland Up North, come back exactly one year later {after shooting two weddings in Russell and Kerikeri} and as photographers to be a part of a special celebration - Leanne & Tim wedding in Mahinepua Beachfront House {Northland, New Zealand}. It was rainy but such a happy day with warm and cosy atmosphere, love and positive emotions, all on outskirts of Northland. It was a pleasure to work with Susi Liddington again, she as a wedding planner and stylist created such gorgeous tropical atmosphere in the marquee and around the space. Everyone has been amazed by this creative and talented approach!

The couple shared their love story:" We met at the university during a class we were both taking while Tim was studying towards his Master of Nursing and Leanne was doing her Postgraduate Diploma in Health Sciences. We travelled together to Nepal on a global health university project. After four weeks working together in a rural Nepal community, we then went on a flight around Mt Everest together. Tim took Leanne to the cockpit of the plane and just as we were in front of Mt Everest he proposed." Hard to imagine anything more epic for a proposal! Just funny that instead of giving full attention to Tim Leanne been fascinated looking at the Mount just the moment before.

Its so exciting to hear some unique facts about couple relationship: "We are both nurses who had had a long-standing desire (before we met each other) to work and live in rural communities and locations and have since been fortunate enough work together in places like rural Nepal, remote Kenya and remote outback Australia. Next, we are making a move to rural Northland NZ."

Its all come together with their families and friends celebrated together their special day in Mahinepua Beachfront House far north.

Excited to share with you amazing moments from Silvia & Chris's engagement pre-wedding session on Piha Beach {Auckland, West Coast of New Zealand}. I am so delighted to be their wedding photographer next year, not long to go now! Can't wait till couple's wedding!

We met on the gorgeous seaside, surrounded by rocks and mountains. It was such a great time, just walk and talk, discuss couple's story, wedding plans and relationship. It was a fantastic time, full of fun, love and positive vibe. I will always remember Chris's trick with jandals - intend carrying them in the hands while we were walking from one location to another {so they not in the frame while we walking bear feet} he just threw them in the air and needed to mention they fly far. Can't wait to see what else going to happen on their wedding day {ready for any surprises ;).

{Love story: Couple met when they were 17 through a mutual friend and fell in love from then on. They love to do together - "Everything, we consider ourselves best friends as well as a couple. We love travelling, we have been to 22 countries together, we love being outdoors but also like watching movies and relaxing with friends." Such a romantic relationship!

Congratulations on your engagement!}

News: We are back in Auckland! {New Zealand wedding photographers}

Hi everyone! You might be noticed it been quieter during last few days. The reason is - we have fantastic news - we are back in Auckland. Yes, as wedding photographers we are travelling all around New Zealand and beyond with destination weddings overseas, but most of our work and family is based in Auckland.

Hamilton has been kind to us during last two years - great community, everything handy, no much traffic :) But everything pushed us back in Auckland where our photography journey started.

We are still live on the boxes, such a hard job packing and unpacking, with next wedding shooting just in one day and meetings with awesome potential clients almost every day, it's been challenging, but hopefully will be rewarding too.

Our little ones happy to explore a new place and they got something new - a big bunk bed. What else can you wish for Christmas :) 

Looks like a community in Hobsonville, West Auckland is terrific too. Double bonus we not far from the great wedding venues in Kumeu and around the Rodney area, travel to Matakana or South Auckland not take much time either. Short stroll to North Shore or Auckland City as well.

Hopefully, dreams come true, but who knows where destiny line will move us next {it seems like two years living in each place is our tradition now :)

Excited to connect with more awesome clients up this way, in Auckland, Northland and all around New Zealand!

Warmly,

Olga & Matt

P.S.: Picture for attention with Jenna & Brodie on Raglan Beach. We truly appreciate all the opportunities that we got in Waikato with such amazing couples, nature and short drive to Tauranga, Rotorua and Taupo
