Stoneridge Wedding
This was a wedding with a difference. The little flower girls charmed eveyone with their scattering of the flowers and their beautiful singing during the signing. Theresa and Erik held their wedding and reception at the Stoneridge Estate. Our day started with a visit to the Rydges in Queenstown. Theresa along with her bridemaids ,four flowergirls and a ring bearer. It was a busy room for sure. The ceremony was conducted outside the chapel at Stoneridge by Father Tony from Queenstown. After we took all the family photos , we spent a couple of hours taking the wedding party photos before going back to the reception area at Stoneridge.
We got to spend several hours at the recpeption, capturing the singing, dancing, speeches and toasts. Did they know how to celebrate.
Wanaka Wedding in the trees
Friday was a great day for Tori and Jeremy's wedding. The girls got ready in Wanaka. We spent a fun morning with the them while they got themselves ready for the big day. The girls did the majority of their hair and makeup themselves and they did a great job. Jeremy and Tori wanted to do their photos before their ceremony. We spent time by the lake, in the trees and at a couple of our favourite photo locations.
It was a fantastic wedding. The ceremony was held in the trees up the Cardrona Valley and was conducted by Bev Clark. It was just a beautiful day from start to finish.
Brides Letter
From the moment we got in touch with you, you both put us at ease. The complimentary engagement shoot really helped relax us in front of the camera. On our big day you both set the tone for a fun and laugh filled photo shoot from the offset. We had our photos done before the ceremony which I recommend because we were walking on sunshine by the time we arrived at the church. Your approach was very natural, there wasn’t a lot of positioning or directing, which has resulted in us all looking at ease and comfortable, no stiff or forced looking smiles. On several occasions you went out of your way to help us, collecting and delivering our flowers etc, and even posting our photos to Australia. Thank you Jan and Wayne for being a special part of our day!”
Wedding in Queenstown
This was another wedding for the Ultimate NZ Wedding company. Christene offers a huge range of services and wedding packages for overseas couples. Elle and Jason had based themselves at the Hilton Hotel Queenstown for what was going to be a very busy day. Elle had prayed for snow for her mountain wedding and she got her wish. Sarah from Absolutely Fabulous Hair and Renee Little makeup artist took care of Elle and Jason with their preparations. After a morning at the Hilton we travelled with Black Limos to the Helecoptor line for our flight into the mountains. After the ceremony we took lots of photos with the couple by the lake and in the snow.
When we arrived back in Queenstown we spent time in the Gardens and around the lakefront for more photos
We had a great time with Jason and Elle. Cant wait to process the video and photo images.

Central Otago Wedding
Rebecca and Thomas's day started early with Rebecca and the girls getting hair and makeup done at Olivers in Clyde and the boys at Thomas's parents home in Clyde. We visited the boys first while they played a bit of soccer and had some fun with us on the street. The girls had their hair and makeup done by Alice and Gemma. Olivers is a great facility currently undergoing restoration but offering some lovely themed rooms that suited the girls perfectly .
The couple were married in the St Dunstan Church in Clyde.
We took our formal photos in and around Clyde and Cromwell . The rain started as we began shooting in Clyde so we took shelter under the verandah of on of the old buidings. The rain follwed us around for the afternoon but between showers we took some lovely and very funny photos before we went back to Northburn Station for all the family photos.
Jan and Wayne really enjoyed being with a group of people who really enjoyed the photo shoot despite the weather.
Walter Peak Wedding
Lisa and Jeremy travelled to Queenstown for the wedding of Diana and Kevin. After the trip on the TSS Earnslaw with the guests and the boys, we all arrived at Walter Peak Station for a lovely garden ceremony that was conducted by Marion Patton . After the ceremony we spent time taking formal shots around the gardens and woolshed and down on the lake front.
The whole group were so much fun to work with. We all had a fantastic time. It was great being part of their wedding day
Wanaka Wedding
We spent our Saturday with Teresa and Eamon on their wedding day. Thersa's day started at Alices where she and Bridesmaid Christina had hair and makeup done. We also spent time with Eamon and Claude before we headed to Edgewater for the ceremony. Jools Macknight was the cerebrant and she (as she always does) did a fantastic job of the ceremony. Its is always great to hear all the wedding guests comments enjoying the ceremony out on Edgewaters front lawn with the views.
After the ceremony went to one of our favourite farm locations and also to the lakefront, wharf and Edgewter grounds for more photos.
We are so lucky being able to work with wonderful people like Teresa and Eamon. Thank you both for letting us be part of your special day.
