What happens when love and living in the moment COLLIDE!
Leah and Karl, both home to NZ and KareKare for a weeks vacation from Melbourne, decided the place and time had a such a resonance with them that they had to immortalise it!.
With Manu they celebrated in an entirely personal way, and here is the very first image from an afternoon I have to say I loved, and am so happy to have been a part of!
Attention to the details - How chic the Groom gets to be these days, for NZ Weddings Magazine!
Here are a few quick outtakes to show that styling the men on the wedding day should have just as much attention paid, as to the bride and her party - have a look at this next issue, and you’ll see how with a little thought and effort you can easily look cool and modern as….
Ana McDonald had Mack Baragwanath, Jordan Barron and Esbern Rasmussen looking a million bucks - with the energy they put in the results are worth waiting for, and the smiles show how this day should be!
Yasmin Bidois for Kiri Nathan goes to London Fashion Week!
With a finale gown created to give an elegance and certain amount of drama, it had to say “Wedding” - Kiri Nathan is reknowned for her ability to make a dress that’s as individual as you are, and adorned with this amazing pounamu fashioned by husband Jason, the result is something incredible!
Kiri heads to London with NZ and all of us who love her and her passion, behind her - My bet is it’s the start of another great adventure, and we’ll be seeing a lot more of her and her design aesthetic in future. If you’re looking for a uniquely Kiwi gown made just for you, or a pounamu to give your husband on your day, that you can have created to suit him alone, you can be sure it’s all done with love and attention to you!

A bit more depth / understanding, of what happens when the photographer in “me” becomes whiteproductions.co - get to know me a little more;)!
It’s a long road we travel, so we better make sure to enjoy every step!
Zora Bell Boyd @ Wunderkammer & the ring made just to suit you!
These days we men might like to show, what a woman has been able to do forever - wear a piece that defines you, and display your love always.
…who says it has to be about the girls only;)?!
Give Zora a call, and have fun creating that ring that’s as individual as the love you share - time to spoil yourself a little!
Milly Nolan for Mildred&Co. - attention to the details, with miles of style involved!
Mildred&Co. has quickly become the go-to, for anyone looking to layoff a little of the stress that comes with planning your perfect day - it allows someone else to manage you getting (or giving) the gift that will be cherished and remembered forever!
If it’s looking for that special gift that says you care just a little more, or to ensure it’s something they’re going to treasure always, you really have to get in touch with Milly - you’ll be glad you did (and so will many others!).
Michele Corty for Rue De Seine - style is absolutely apparent!
One of my most important meetings in the world of all things bridal, happened upon me late last year. I was introduced to both Michele Corty and her atelier Rue De Seine (Newmarket), and understood immediately that she encapsulated everything I thought about, when I imagined the perfect “Wedding Dress”.
She is one of those people you can just tell are living their dream, with understated yet amazing personal style, and a passion that drives - Michele, and husband Michael have got Rue Du Seine so quickly to the pinnacle of the market here, that the next step of opening into Australia was meant to happen, and that it has this quickly is something the Australian bride-to-be must be extremely thankful for;).
The image above is one from our first collaboration - there is much more to come, and this is solely a precursor to give an idea. I love her ability to both create from her own vision, and see the possibilities in something from the past that shines for itself. This dress doesn’t need anyone to tell you “I’m Incredible”, it just is!
Thanks to Dean P. for the hair and makeup, and Holly Rose Emery @ Red 11 for looking so good in it!
Follow the link to Rue De Seine, or even better pass by and meet Michele - if you are looking for “special”, you can’t miss on any level here!
Trent & Jess Power - Kangaroo Valley Dec 2012
A first little peek at a moment in the day of Trent and Jess’s Wedding - with the location, light, and family/friends they had to celebrate with, it was always going to look amazing!
Much to come, including some news on publication that’ll show just how timeless (and absolutely GORGEOUS!) the whole scenario was - I look forward to sharing much more with you in weeks and months to come!
There was so much character and love around, that the Valley seemed to unfold as the day did… All in all, just perfect!
2013 - Time to Begin!!
With the Wedding Season in full swing, and the mood of Most relaxed and fulfilled, it’s time to get back on the pony and live up to my newest “resolution” (of sorts;)) - Let me show you what I can do for you!
I look forward to hearing from, and meeting you!
Finery is….
Ella Verbenne (Clyne NZ) shows how easily you can enjoy a solitary moment or few, when all of it is about YOU!
Stylist Yasmine Ganley (anyonegirl.com) dressed her with an ease that told you she felt great, and with hair by Louise Pilkington @ Dry & Tea, and makeup by Stacy Lee Ghin, she looked like she absolutely belonged in the stately grandeur of Stafford Villa.
Feeling good, and looking GREAT! GOSS to make you feel like you have it ALL!
The irresistible charms of the woman we all know as Christy Q, were never so evident as the day we shot the pieces of Kay Goss’s luxury wear line GOSS. With Joshua Skelton as a foil, the energy just bounced around the place. As you can see you do get to feel as good as you look!
These are a tantalising preview of what’s to come - details to follow as to where you can buy something special for the woman you love (or if you feel to treat yourself), and perchance something for those nights around “the big day”?!
Go on - you know you deserve it:)!
In keeping with the last post, the beauty made evident in natural surroundings, by Seon Hwang from Clyne models - Styled by Ana MacDonald with hair and makeup to accentuate the simple yet glamorous mood by Stacy Lee Ghin, you have to agree that on any day, she looks amazing!
With beauty that absolutely engages, Seon Hwang (Clyne) backstage @ NZFW Weddings show - the loose and modern feel only adds to a dress with nods to ages past.
