Craig and Carla New Zealand Winery Wedding

Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you'd hope and your left waiting longer than you'd like to for something lots of people come by easily, or so it seems...  And sometimes life leaves you broken hearted wondering how things could ever be normal or whole again... BUT just when we're convinced the soundtrack of our life is gonna keep playing the same sad tune, God does something beautiful, he brings it all together in a beautiful song, harmonizing the low notes with the highs, creating an unexpected symphony of redemption and love.
Craig and Carla, I couldn't be happier for you in the song God is writing across your life! Your wedding was a beautiful tribute to the unexpected symphony, wishing you both the best!
Enjoy the new soundtrack of your life together!
 

Matt and Anna Spring Wedding Ataahua Garden Venue & a Big Announcement!

I had the privilege to shoot with Jane Keam early this spring and catch Matt & Anna's beautiful wedding with lots of Kowhai blossoms and my personal favorite pink cherry blossoms! It was a beautiful day, lovely ceremony and stunning venue! Flowers by On My Hand. 
 

And now for my big announcement! Drum roll please!!!!!  
Our family has decided to make the big move back to Southern California and I will be opening up my calendar for weddings for the 2016 wedding season! Needless to say, we are so sad to leave our friends here, and this ridiculously beautiful country, but are looking forward to all that is ahead of us Stateside! 

Hope you enjoy Matt & Anna's beautiful day!

Meade Backyard Wedding

This wedding was everything you'd hope a backyard wedding could be. Charming, relaxed, hip and fun. Oh and don't forget the backyard chickens! Set amongst a beautifully maintained garden, the Meade's wedding oozed vintage inspired style! The guest loved their custom brewed beer, homemade pies and Instagraming the night at the best hashtag you've ever wished you came up with, #PaulyEstherblend . The cherry on top for me was the "Mariachi" band, really a trio romantico, but who's heard of that. They we're the perfect addition to celebrate their heritage and set the mood with their romantic melodies! Hope you enjoy...
