Hi guys,

On Friday, we headed out to Vilagrad winery to photograph Mike & Shelley’s gorgeous wedding. I love Vilagrad, it’s one of my favourite Hamilton venues to shoot at – and this time was no exception!

Shelley was worried that their daughter (and flowergirl) of 3 years age would be camera shy… no chance! In fact, she got so upset when we tried to do some shots with just Shelley & bridesmaids that we assigned Holly as her personal photographer, and they went & played on the swing!

After their ceremony, we headed down to the vineyard for some shots with the bridal party, and then finished up in the cellar – where we love to get our lighting out & really play with different ideas & looks.

We had some ideas for a few shots in the vineyard, but they really needed the late afternoon / sunset light to work best – so we suggested that we stay around & sneak out for a few shots after their meal – and it was definitely worth the wait! The lovely golden light is just so good to work with, and hits the vines perfectly

It was an awesome day – enjoy this little peek at how the photos are looking!

Something that made our day.

We were heading out for our routine coffee @ Grey St Kitchen cafe (best cafe ever by the way) when we saw a courier bag had been delivered.

In it, was a little green booklet – from David & Lara, who are getting married soon & we have the pleasure of photographing their day

Anyway – like many of our couples, David & Lara had booked us in without meeting us, as we shoot all over the place, and often it isn’t convenient to meet up prior to booking.

They decided to make a gorgeous, handmade booklet introducing themselves, with a bit about them, what their wedding means to them, and introducing the important people on the day. There were also some ideas for photo locations, along with some pictures, maps of how to get there, and more.

Lara mentioned that they wanted to do something a little different, to stand out a bit from the multiple emails we must be getting at this time of year… and it certainly was, so much so that I just had to share!

Isn’t that just the coolest. Go you guys

Here’s pics.
