I really do love my job, being able to travel and catchup with old friends to capture their coming together in the sanctimony of marriage is a win win situation. Karen and I use to flat together back in the day in Hamilton, so to get asked if I could document her and her new hubby Roddie’s Wedding day in magical Waiheke was a real blessing!
The Day had it’s ‘un-controllable forces of nature” challenges with the weather threatening to rain on their parade from the outset. Thankfully the clouds parted and the sun shone on the beautiful Mud Brick vineyard setting and friends and family were treated with breath taking views and fabulous food and banter that went on into the evening.
Meeting Roddie for the first time was nothing short of amazing - I knew then and there that Karen had made an excellent choice, his temperament and cool calm and collected manner and the way he was around her boys was proof enough of the respect and goodwill this man possessed. True love conquers all, and this wedding was nothing short of this with love and kindness shown throughout.
A definite highlight as a photographer for me was the super cool old classic Jag they hired for the wedding - it made for cool romantic images just like the vineyard would fall you into believing you were somewhere in Tuscany. Thanks again guys for the great opportunity in capturing your big day.
