Introducing Kelly and Chris

Alex and I throughly enjoyed this special Napier wedding! Kelly and Chris, what can we say… kindest, loveliest couple ever! And the cutest art deco themed wedding we have ever photographed!
Enjoy this little sneak peak! Of course more to come soon, once we have worked through the mad backlog! (we have been slightly crazy busy lately!)

Introducing Kate and Gary

If Alex and I were getting married now, I think our wedding would look something similar to Kate and Gary’s beautiful Matapouri wedding! It was absolutely stunning! These two were married on the beach in barefoot. Just the way we like it!
Thank you Kate and Gary for a wonderful day! Much more of this wedding to come soon. And you don’t want to miss this one!

Natalie and Karl’s incredible Mollies / Mantells wedding day!

In early February we were honored to photograph Nat and Karl’s Mollies / Mantells wedding day. These two were such a treat to spend time with! In the morning, Coralee photographed Natalie and the girls getting ready at Mollies while Alex hung with Karl and his groomsmen at their house literally one street away. When it was time, Karl took a stroll down the road to Mollies where he patiently waited to meet his bride. Natalie was just as blown away as Karl when they first made eye contact – she didn’t have any idea of what he’d be wearing either. Karl works with Crane Brothers so is always looking immaculate but looked especially sharp this day in a tailor made  crazy exotic french cotton Crane Brothers suit. Nat looked absolutely breathtaking in her silk wedding dress accompanied by a sweet little vintage handbag. It’s one of our favorourite things to photograph the ‘first look’, and this one was certainly a tear-jerker!

Mantell’s is always beautiful, but we reckon that it was perfectly suited to Nat and Karl’s classic, effortless style. It was an incredible  day. A truly timeless, beautiful, amazing, incredible wedding between two wonderful people. Nat & Karl, we are oh so grateful that you allowed us to share in celebrating the day with you! C&A xx

Engaged! – Tess & Jonathan

Hey! It’s Alex! For some reason we scheduled our calendars ridiculously crazily busy this month and we’ve been tripping all across our fair nation for various reasons. Most notably, for weddings! We’ve just returned from an awesome weekend with Nat and Joe in Havelock North and this friday we’re up to Matapouri Bay to hang with Kate and Gary before jetting our way back down to Hawke’s Bay again to photograph Kelly and Chris! I don’t know who’s more excited….us or the brides and grooms! Actually, that’s a trick question…of course the brides and grooms are the most excited!! But all these miles are no excuse not to share what we’ve been working on lately with you. So without further ado I present to you a few images from an afternoon spent hanging out with the wonderful Tess and Jono at Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter. We’ll be photographing this lovely couple’s wedding this November. Super excited for this one! Look at how cute they are :-)

Introducing Natalie and Joe

It rained and it poured last Saturday! But this couple were not going to let some hurricane winds and side ways rain prevent them from having a wonderful day! And it was just that! Natalie and Joe were married at Natalie’s mum’s Havelock North home. There was a marquee set up on the front lawn and everything was decorated to perfection- lanterns, candles, beautiful flowers etc etc! Pretty much a phototgraphers dream! The below photographs were taken when we found a small break of no rain! Definitely more of this sweet wedding to come soon! C&A xx
