I had the massive privilege of capturing another of the Dunn Family Weddings last week.

Sonia and Kurt were guests at Kurt’s Sister’s wedding that I photographed last February and when the time came to choosing a photographer for their big day, they told me they couldn’t go any other way!

They loved the way I worked and were so impressed with the end results that I was booked without really having to respond to their enquiry…

A wonderful couple whose love shines so bright when they are together, lots of laughs, even during the ceremony!

I just dropped off their DVD Slideshow to them this afternoon and they were both very excited to see how it all came out, as I left they were rushing into the house to get the DVD started…I love that!

What a fantastic couple, I wish them both the very best for their future together…

Here are some of the photos from the day…

I just love shooting Weddings. A day of so much preparation and excitement to be captured through the lens. A couple so in love and surrounding themselves with all the people they hold dear.

What’s not to like?!

Lucy and Chris. What a great couple… The morning of their big day was shrouded in rain and grey skies. I always believe that it will be a great day whatever the weather and I frequently reassure my brides that you can’t let the weather really spoil this special day – you really have to roll with it despite all the complications that may, and usually do arise over the course of a well planned day, you really have to be flexible. This applies to the Bride and Groom and everyone involved all the way down to the guests – and the photographer!

I knew we would be shooting indoors for the ceremony, however we would be headed outdoors to the beautiful Hamilton Gardens for the Bridal shoot later so my fingers were crossed for clearer skies!

Just as we were headed to the preparation shoots the sun graced us with it’s presence and stuck around all afternoon! How wonderful!

Have a look at some of the photos from the day. Big congrats to Lucy and Chris you guys were awesome fun!

Cambridge Road, Te Awamutu. NZ.

This couple asked me to come up with a location that was a little grimy, dirty, with texture. My immediate thought was ‘Building Site!’. I was driving back from an assignment one late afternoon with some funky tunes when I spotted a derelict building close to town… It looked perfect! In amongst wild grasses, with broken windows galore… it had a really interesting look and feel that I just knew they would really appreciate. The day of the shoot was approaching and low and behold. Demolition was scheduled to begin. Darn it!

We rescheduled the shoot for the following weekend and during the week I met with the site manager to make sure we could be on site for the shoot. All was cool and we got the permission we needed, on the proviso that we be extremely careful.. Hey, careful is my middle name!

Come the day of the shoot, the buildings that were there were now rubble! Just a shell of the largest building was all that remained… Those demolition guys really work fast! Turns out, it was just right for us…That little bit of variety, not too spoilt for choice, does get you thinking on your toes…

We had a really fun time on location during this shoot. The sun came out at just the right time. I do like the harshness of the sun at times. I know most photographers LOVE those overcast days, but there is something really dramatic about full on sun…and I love it!

A little camera shy at first, but with a little encouragement and direction from me they were away! Towards the end of the session the cold Winter wind started to get the better of us…

Well, the proof is in the photos and I’m really pleased with how they came out.

Leave a comment, I would love to hear what you think.

All the best to Guys. You were a great, fun couple to hang with.
