Popping the corks!

Emma — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:10:48 +0000

It’s been such a great ‘wedding season’ for us and tonight we are celebrating it in style by sharing a glass of bubbly with some of Waiheke’s many fabulous wedding vendors at our Oneroa Gallery. The invites went out last week and we are eagerly awaiting the the time to pop the corks… Yay!

Big thanks to all our lovely brides and grooms who made the season such a pleasure!
Love my job.

A little teaser for locals… come and see who you know in our shop window – lot’s of lovely mums with their beloveds.

New Website up!!

Emma — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 23:06:11 +0000

I have been working on my new website for a wee while and am REALLY pleased to finally have it up online. It’s quite a different look from the last one and has all new images on it as well as facebook and twitter links, so feel free to click through and “like’ my ‘Emma Hughes Photography’ page if you are a facebook-er.

The new site has loads of lovely wedding photos, as well as heaps of cute children’s photos, baby photography, pregnancy shoots, family portraits, couples photos, boudoir and body shots and of course a whole lot of individual portraits (never really know what to call these – ‘adult portraits’ just sounds kinda wrong!).

A new portfolio section we added this time around is a called ‘generations’ – these are a selection of the multi family portraits of extended family that we often do at Christmas and other holidays when everyone is all gathered together. Waiheke is the perfect location for these extended family portraits and they are always really special, involving everyone from the smallest babies through to the great grandmothers.

Denise Roche in the studio…

Emma — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 23:27:15 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing the very lovely Green Party candidate Denise Roche a few weeks ago in the studio. She was needing a photo to be used in her campaign for Auckland Central, with the chosen image destined to be put on the side of a car. Cool!

We did a few different looks in the studio including some shots with our new … ahem… ‘wind machine’.

[photo showing Denise's partner Jon doing an excellent job of operating said wind machine... very technical!]

And the end result…

Thanks to Denise’s friend Michelle Benson for sending through the pic.
