Liddington Gardens - Kerkeri Northland {NZ destination wedding photographer} Elisah and Heremaia

Such amazing destination wedding in Liddington Gardens {Kerikeri, Northland, NZ} where Elisah & Heremaia celebrated their special day with close friends and family. It was a great pleasure for me as their official photographer captured so special for couple wedding moments. {need to say just day before I shoot wedding in Russel, Bay of Island, it was amazing to shoot weddings in such a beautiful places in Northland}.

There was a lot of laugh, crying moments, some fun, dance and LOVE! 

Elisah shared their love story: "We meet years ago in high school. We were so close in school but unfortunetly went our seperate ways. About 3 years ago we happen to both be back in Kerikeri and decided to meet up and the rest is history...haha!"

Proposal been just amazing: "On my birthday, at the garden where we are getting married, by the man made pond with candles, it was so sweet." Heremaia's 4 years old son was there too and Elisah loves "him to pieces" from her words :)

Couple really looked forward to spend their time with friends and families on the wedding day and it was just amazing, so much positive emotions from bride and groom getting ready, through the ceremony in the gardens, to bridal party and bride and groom session around Liddington Gardens and finally great reception under marquee with a lot of emotional moments, speeches, dancing and bouquet tossing with first dance and guests dancing till night time!

Elisah & Heremaia, Happy future together!

Waiuku-Pukeoware outdoor farm wedding {Auckland weddings photographer} Sandra and Cory

Great full of fun and positive emotions wedding in Waiuku-Pukeoware {South Auckland} outdoor in the farm environment with ceremony in the paddock, Sandra & Cory celebrated their special day with close friends and family. It was a first wedding what I shoot as photographer with rain during the ceremony {luckily there was prepared umbrellas around, one lovely lady even been holding one above me for a couple of minutes, thank you!}. Luckily weather not had any influence on level of fun and love!

We started from couple's first look at their friends garden in Waiuku, with shoot around and then follow to the Pavillion and old traditional buildings in the Waiuku town centre. Following the ceremony in the Cory's parents farm | paddock and reception in Pukeoware, not far from Pukekohe {South Auckland}. One of the most exciting parts of the day was big dance party, bouncy castle in Pukeoware Hall and a lot of special for couple moments!

Sandra shared the story: "We met at a dance class - Cory was brought along by a mutual friend. He fell in love with the dancing, then fell in love with me :) We have been together 5 years. Cory proposed at Rainbows End- he arranged to be part of a magic trick". This couple know how to dance and there definitely something magic between them!

First Look - Bride and Groom pre-ceremony photo session {Auckland NZ wedding photographer}

You know a lot of couples prefer to not spend much time away from the guests between ceremony and reception as they want to have a quality time with friends and family. First Look is a great solution for have pre-ceremony photo session right after getting ready moments and save the time in between of important for newly weds events. As an Auckland wedding photographer I captured a lot of traditional weddings when bride and groom prefer to see each other at the ceremony site when bride walking down the aisle and groom waiting to meet her. I understand this special tradition and meaning behind it.

But if you not mind to see each other before the ceremony First Look can be a great option for make your timeline special and flawless. You still get those special emotions as groom will be waiting for you turning back to you {he usually wait for quit a long time, so all emotions became really intense and ready to explored with happy laugh or tears at moment when bride gently touch groom's shoulder or close his eyes, or maybe even give a little kiss - whatever feels more natural to your couple}.

Its amazing moments to captured, so much mystery, intrigue, waiting moments, expectations and then happy positive emotions with smiles and tears in the eyes. Im as photographer and romantic person in love in this tradition {so popular in USA, Canada and Europe}.

Right after the first look we can do a family shots (if they are around}, bridal party and bride and groom intimate session and then with no pressure move to ceremony and reception. 

Some couples also considering to do first look and intimate session between ceremony and reception as they want to do pictures in different location and change atmosphere. Its still save the time between ceremony and reception. 

Usually bride and groom session can take between one and two hours {depends on location), so sometimes guests waiting for couple been back to reception after few hours {including family formals and bridal party shoot}; with first look option with time go down to 30 min - 1 hours {depends on amount of extra images required by couple}.

So as we mentioned first look worth to consider if you want to:

1. save the time between ceremony and reception;

2. not make guests wait for a long time; 

3. get interesting experience with non-traditional wedding timeline;

4. make the best out of such emotional moments along with bride and groom {and their close family, without all ceremony guests}

5. get all intimate photos done before the ceremony and move it out of the way.

Consider:

1. First look not suit traditional couples who prefer to see each other on the ceremony site.

2. Sometimes time before the ceremony not best for pictures as light not so soft as at late afternoon {but if its scheduled at morning you can still get beautiful photographs; and also good photographer can take pictures even at noon bright sunny weather}.

3. you can always entertain the guest with  games on the grass, cocktail hour, snacks and positive things. Most of the time they are enjoying each others compony and happily laughing {if you have a second photographer on site he can capture these happy moments what you are missing being on location bride & groom photo session}.

4. obviously first look will be an intimate moment so all guests can't see bride's and groom's first reaction when they seen each other after getting ready.

So its your call what traditions closer to your couple and what can perfectly fit in your wedding day timeline. Its great to know all options and consider some other ways of wedding planning!

For photographers I would suggest to have a second shooter / assistant who can capture the moments from different angles and with different focal length for give a gallery variety. {thank you Matt and Fengjin for assistance on Langham Hotel wedding!}

Also note: you can make a similar idea first look with bride's dad. Its unforgettable memories!

Less words more images! Have a look at firsts look from our recent wedding in Langham Hotel with Basma and Mohamad. Such amazing and emotional moments! Love is all around :)

Markovina Vineyard Estate - Kumeu {Auckland wedding photographer} Ellise and Wasim

Beautiful couple Ellise & Wasim had such a special wedding day in Markovina Vineyard Estate {Kumeu, Auckland, NZ}.

I met couple beforehand on their engagement photo shoot on Muriwai Beach {West Auckland} just few weeks before their wedding {we really want to get special couples photos on the beach, which had different atmosphere from their wedding venue and also its a great opportunity to know each other and understand how we are roll :) This session just recently been published in world famous wedding Blog - How He Asked by The Knot. You can check out Ellise & Wasim's Sweet Love Story.

Couples story started from their meeting "early 2005 on our first day of University (orientation day), there were sheets of paper on desks and Wasim thought he had to sit at a desk that had a sheet of paper, which happened to be one next to me (Ellise). We carried on as good friends for 8 years until Wasim went away on holiday to the USA and came back and told me he really missed me and wanted us to always be together, so we should be a couple! I think we dated about 2 years before Wasim proposed, (he had jokingly proposed a few times over the years) and it started a week before when he started putting on dvds for me every night, some of our favourites, then ended the last 2 nights with blood diamond (relevance to diamond engagement rings), and the final movie was 'Walk the line' (Johnny Cash and June Carter story where he proposes many times before she said yes). The next day he took me to a couple of meaningful places for us and at the first one pulled out a burger ring and asked me to marry him (as a joke), the second place he pulled out a plastic ring and did the same. The third and final place was at Sails restaurant in Aucklands viaduct, where he proposed again with a bag of plastic rings! spread them all over the table and asked me to see if there was a real one in there - while I was looking through he came over with the real ring in the box and got down on one knee!" - such a great couples story from Ellise, sounds like romantic movie! 

Their wedding was amazing, full of love and positive moments, laugh and cry! Markovina Vineyard Estate such beautiful and cosy venue where you feel as you home, surrounding by real care from owners and stuff. When we been out at bride and groom session lovely lay come to wipe water from the swing when she saw us shooting around this area {there was really rainy just before}. Im just in love in this place full of beautiful spots all around (with little pond, trees, boat, red phone box - this is my favourite, I already told about swing etc. There plenty of photo opportunities! I looking forward to come back there for my other awesome wedding clients next year!

Rainy weather can't stop couple's beautiful celebration with bridesmaids and groomsmen, close family and friends. So special day and so much beauty around (I loved all details around, decoration, natural wood around, even wedding cake had special meaning and totally matches with couples personalities!

We had a chance to sneak outside during the reception and get some amazing night shots {I always try to add something extra to the gallery).

Langham Hotel Wedding {Auckland-NZ weddings photographers} Basma and Mohammad

What amazing day in Langham hotel {Auckland, NZ} celebrating Basma & Mohammad's wedding with their families and friends. It was truly special event! {need to say I never before captured any weddings all day long in the hotel environment, truly interesting experience for photographers :)}.

There was so much positive emotions, love, fun and beautiful atmosphere around. Hotel stuff and all wedding vendors worked together for create a stunning weddings atmosphere with bride and groom getting ready, first look at Great Room, family formals, bridal party shoot around and couples intimate session around the hotel and outside {Grey room, lobby etc.} - so many beautiful places. The evening take over with beautiful reception {amazingly decorated tables and stage with chandeliers), hand made chocolate items on each plate, flowers around and much more. Enter the reception, traditional dances, speeches, bride and groom first dance, father and daughter dance, cake cutting, and guests dancing away, so much fun with awesome people around!  

Couples Love story started about 3 years ago at a mutual friends graduation. Funny enough they had mutual friend during 10 years but never seen each other before! There might be a special time for it :)

The Proposal was really romantic:

Basma: "Mohammad surprised me with a beautiful dinner at one of my favourite restaurants, then took me home and there was a path of candles from the door leading into a heart outside in the courtyard. It was sunset and everything was perfect. Then once he got down on one knee and I said yes, the whole family appeared and we celebrated".

Their wedding was just amazing!

Positive Friday - Inspiration {Auckland wedding photographer}

Hi everyone! Today is a positive Friday {at least for me :) ) and its time to share with you some inspirational moments. I met a lot of awesome people while been shooting weddings around Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and pretty much all New Zealand! As a photographer and artist I feel really emotional when people sharing with me their feelings. Its understandable when we had a great experience together.

But this time I received absolutely unexpected message which made my day. This little act of inspiration was really important and come at right time as you often questioning yourself and what you are doing.

This message was sent through my website wedding inquiries and come from Angie. Hope she not mind me to share her simple words. She said: "I just wanted to say... your photography is completely gorgeous. You are incredible!"

Thats just amazing that someone look at my work and stop by to say some words of encouragement. Im really appreciate these kind words and its make me think Im on the right track ;) Its amazing sign of kindness that someone took time to contact just to say positive words.

I hope we will be saying more and more positive words to each other more often and try to help, and support. Who knows maybe person next to you really needs these words of encouragement and its a perfect timing, at least its make them feel better and maybe smile :)

Thanks again Angie! You truly made my day and motivate to think about things.

Muriwai Beach couples-engagement photo shoot {Auckland wedding photographer} Ellise & Wasim

Ellise & Wasim

It was a great opportunity to meet Ellise & Wasim on Muriwai Beach {Auckland} to do their couples-engagement photos just few weeks before their wedding. Yes, sounds crazy, but we decided to go for it for have more opportunities to get stunning photographs in different from their wedding venue location, have another atmosphere, and feel more freedom {not every couple allow themselves on the wedding day running in the waves, climbing up to the rocks, get all wet, sit in the high grass and more exciting moments. But I actually know a few of my couples who even walk in the waves in the wedding dress, ha-ha!}

Engagement photo shoot is a great opportunity to know each better, understand how we are roll, feel more relaxed on the wedding day and get more amazing photographs :)

For me as a photography artist its a great opportunity to know better couple and also get some experimental creative shots {sometimes there no time in the wedding timeline for this, but I always try to create as much romantic and real photos as I can :)

So those Sunday morning we met each other on Muriwai Beach, such a stunning location with dunes, black sand, rocks and big waves. We had a bluest with Ellise & Wasim, especially when wave unexpected come close to the edge of the rocks where guys been standing in romantic pose :) Its was extreme, but I love every single moment of our session: all tho beauty and rocks around. Unforgettable memories.

I will tell you this couples story after their wedding. Keep eye on our new publications in one month time ;) Stay tuned!

Ellise & Wasim also surprised me with a gift - basket full of some amazing goodies. Its a great pleasure to receive such a wonderful present, thank you guys that you think about me and created such a wonderful present! {you can see a picture with gift on my Instagram, I just can't help myself and shared it with everybody :) See you guys on your wedding day in Markovina.
