Hi guys,
On Saturday, we made the trek up to Dargaville, to photograph Matt & Janine’s wedding.
It was an early start for us – about 6.30am from Auckland – so that we could arrive with plenty of time for location checks prior to starting.
Well, we did all those – found some cool spots, and then it was off for a quick coffee… or not. Waitangi day (apparently) means nothing is open and coffee is scarce indeed!
So we made do with “V” – and headed over to see the boys.
Then around to the girls – where we caught up with Janine, looking gorgeous in her dress!
We were also pleasantly surprised to see Holly, who was bridesmaid for Janine – and one of our brides from a while back 
Their ceremony was beautiful – it was really special to have Janine’s dad & Matthew’s dad (who are both ministers) sharing an equal part in leading the service… what an honour to be able to have your parents officiate your marriage ceremony
Afterwards, we headed into Dargaville town for some photos with the bridal party. We planned to go to the beach too, but decided to leave that for last – as it was so hot & sunny that shade was definitely in order.
I love some of the cool old buildings & textured walls!
Then it was off to Baylys beach, where we dodged surfing competitions, “beach bonanzas”, and other general Saturday afternoon beach traffic – and managed to find some clear space!
(important, so that we don’t have to spend forever photoshopping people out of the background in every shot!)
Enjoy the photos – thanks for having us along to share a part in your day!
