Annaliese and Brent were married at Mudbrick Vineyard surrounded by their close friends and family.  The ceremony was extra special because Annaliese’s auntie, the Reverand Phillis McGough led the service giving it a nice personal touch and a real family feel.  The ceremony took place on top of the Mudbrick Cellar overlooking a gloriously sunny Auckland city. 

Annaliese prepared for the wedding day in style at the gorgeous Lavender Hill.  I must confess that even though I have been shooting weddings on Waiheke for the last four years, I had never worked at Lavender Hill!  So I was EXCITED!! 

I have seen many other images from my photographer friends who have shot here so I knew it was a spectacular location and I was not disappointed!  I loved it !  There were expansive areas bathed in sun, stunning architecture and a great view along with areas of lovely cool shade (which can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to find here on sunny Waiheke!).  Happy Days.

Let the festivites begin!

Stunning make up by Sharon Kenny and flowers by Vicki from Wildflower Waiheke.

I love the butterfly in this shot (captured by my lovely hubby and second shooter, Lance).  

Annaliese and her Dad having a bit of fun with his hat! Cute!!

And then we were off to Mudbrick for the main event!  Brent and Annaliese chose the stylish Mercedes available from Waiheke Chauffeured Cars for their transport.

We spent a bit of time in the vineyard before heading off down to Oneroa Beach for the rest of the portrait session.

We returned to Mudbrick to catch a few last shots in the dying light… Stunning!  Thanks Brent and Annaliese for providing so many beautiful moments for Lance and I to capture.  Enjoy your sneak peek!
