Kylee and Aaron’s wedding day was awesome!  So much fun to be part of; they had a really close bridal party who were not afraid to laugh and cry… often!  (the girls that is, the men were very manly and not at all cry-y but definitely full of laughs!).

They were married at The Estate in Church Bay which is always a great venue to be photographing at.  We made use of their lovely big hill as well as the olive grove and a few other choice spots around the venue.  Kylee looked fabulous in a Luci de Bella dress and her girls looked super-glam in a stunning Veronika Maine dresses.  Flowers by Vida Flores in Auckland.

Getting that excited feeling just before stepping into the dress…

Aaron was totally relaxed before the ceremony, laughing with his groomsmen and generally taking it all in his stride.

The ceremony was held on the helicopter pad in front of The Estate with a view looking across to Auckland City on one side and hedged hillside and rows of grapevines on the other – stunning!

After the ceremony we took a few shots around The Estate including these lovely moments in the olive grove before popping into the Cable Bay vines (thanks to Cable Bay for permission!) and then heading off down to Oneroa Bay for the rest of the photography session.

The bridal party photos were such a laugh – let the fun begin…

OK, I know it’s not the prettiest shot but it’s a bit of a laugh!  AND, it’s not often you can get a shot which not only brings out the double chins but also allows the viewer to see up the noses of the subjects so I’d say this photo was an all-round success!

I’d love to say that Kylee and Aaron were laughing at me because of my sparkling wit in this shot but they were actually being mercilessly teased by their crew who were standing just behind my eye-line… nice.

Back at The Estate, Kylee had designed a simple and elegant theme for her reception details – hydrangeas and roses with sprigs of rosemary adorned the tables and the napkins were tied up with a simple black and white ribbon with a soft pink and white place name card.  It’s looked stunning!

We had such a good time at your wedding Kylee and Aaron – it’s wonderful to have been able to capture your love and happiness for you.  (I love my job!)  :)  Thanks!
