Wedding – Invercargill Wedding Photographer

WOW can’t believe its been over 2 months since I last posted, November and December were crazy work wise and I just didn’t seem to get my head above water in time to do any posting on my blog, but after 5 weeks holiday its time to hopefully get back into the swing of things.

These are from a wedding I photographed early January while on holiday, the groom and his brother have been friends with my son since they were young, so it was a real pleasure to be able to not only attend his wedding day but to photograph it as well :-)

kim burnham - oh wow! I LOVE LOVE that first shot - gorgeous! great locations and beautiful couple - congrats!

Schona Kessler - The first and third shots are just beautiful! Glad to see you back!

Just a few quick shots from yesterdays beautiful wedding in Te Anau, where the weather played its part and the rain stayed away long enough for us to get the photos taken.

The bride looked stunning and it was a pleasure to be able to photograph her on her special day :-)
