Samantha and Graham got married in style at Delamore Lodge here on Waiheke Island.  There were only 15 guests and the wedding was a simple, stylish, fun, relaxed, intimate, emotional and downright happy occasion!  I loved it!  The weather was absolutely perfect with the occasional blust of wind to catch Sam’s veil. 

Sam looked completely amazing in her Sophia Tolli dress with hair and make up done by Rebecca from Beautified.  The wedding flowers were from Vicki at Wildflower and had a gorgeous scent.  Actually Sam and her lovely mum Susan found it hard to stop smelling them all through out the day! 

OK, on with the photos…

Sam’s mum Susan was a really important part of the day and had been involved with our meetings from the start.  Her closeness to her daughter was delightful to watch and a true pleasure to capture ‘on film’.

Well it’s not as easy to put on wedding shoes as you might think.  You may laugh prospective brides, but soon enough you’ll be precariously balancing while you try and get those gorgeous shoes on too!

I LOOOVE these shots above and below, so delicate and dreamy.

Sam’s family are all really close and she pretty much made every one of them cry during the course of the day, even her brother got a little misty!

Meanwhile, our handsome groom Graham was relaxing in style with the other guests.

But as soon as he saw Sam coming down the aisle he was a goner too! :)

Delamore Lodge has so many gorgeous spots to use for photos and we made use of a couple of them before leaving for Oneroa Beach for a few photos down there.

These two really knew how to have  fun which made my job EASY!  Graham seriously impressed me by carrying his bride ALL the way down (and up) this LONG (and not flat) driveway.  20 Groom bonus points for you! (All bonus points redeemable from Sam)

Back at Delamore Lodge, the table settings looked just as fabulous as the rest of the wedding with little personalised cupcakes, exquisitely scented soaps from the Waiheke Soap Company and bejeweled napkins.
 

Sigh.  Too much gorgeousness… off with their heads!

Thanks for inviting me to be part of your wonderful wedding Sam and Graham.  I feel honoured to have been part of such a special occasion.
