Bridgewater Estate Wedding Photography – Melissa & John

Shine Studios — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:00:23 +0000

On a day that could only be described as RAINY, Melissa & John were married.

The super organized team at Bridgewater Estate were hoping for the best and had both indoor and outdoor ceremony location ready to go in case of a break in the weather.

Fortune smiled on us and a gap opened up just long enough for their vows to be shared in the open air just as Melissa had wished, and then closed….

Kelliher Estate Wedding – Jaime & Harry

Shine Studios — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:10:25 +0000

I thought I had seen colour… but I hadn’t SEEN colour at a wedding like this before!

Grey and raining certainly wasn’t going to dull Jaime & Harry’s gorgeous wedding at Kelliher Estate on Puketutu Island, (near Auckland Airport). These two along with their hilariously funny bridal party were having a blast despite the weather.

Devonport Wedding Photography – Kellie & Dave

Shine Studios — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:34:20 +0000

A truly modern love story.

Kellie and Dave were reunited through Facebook from opposite sides of the world after losing touch for many years. The university friends went their separate ways as their students days came to an end, Dave back to the Isle of Man and Kellie eventually found her way to New Zealand. Dave never forgot about Kellie and one day plucked up the courage to contact her via the social media site! The rest as they say is history – congratulations!

Waiheke Island Wedding Photography – Bernice & Jamie

Shine Studios — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:34:59 +0000

On Saturday I was invited along to a very special ceremony at Whakanewha Regional Park here on Waiheke Island. Bernice & Jamie are a fun loving couple who half-eloped to the island for a morning ceremony with just the closest of friends and their daughter Ashleigh.

I agreed to prepare these images so they cold enjoy them at their Auckland reception later on that day. Hope you had a blast!

Cassels, Bethells Beach Wedding – Lucy & Eric

Shine Studios — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:50:13 +0000

Lucy & Eric tied the knot in one of our first beautifully sunny summer wedding days! Cassels, in the Waitakere Ranges is a great venue and only a short drive to Bethells Beach where I love to take photos. Their gorgeous son Jake was very much a part of the day. Such a lovely family and such a relaxing and enjoyable day!

Mudbrick Vineyard – Waiheke Island Wedding – Aimee & Dale

Shine Studios — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:47:16 +0000

Aimee & Dale struck a stunning summer day for their beautiful Mudbrick wedding.

From the Onetangi Beach Apartments the boys headed across the road hitting the sand for a bit of beach cricket while the girls were busy inside. With many guests traveling from the UK & Australia the whole place was buzzing with pre-wedding excitement.

Aimee surprised us all arriving to the ceremony in a big red double decker bus!

That wasn’t the end of the surprises either. Aimes & Dale announced during their vows that they were soon to be expecting an early arrival to their newly formed family. It was news that set tears and joy rolling around the closely gathered group.

Congratulations Aimee & Dale, all the best from all of us at Shine Studios.
