Rachael and Andrew Charlemagne Lodge, Te Puna

I remember Rachael growing in up in Omokoroa with my own children, so was thrilled to be Rach's celebrant for her wedding, and Steve doing her photos, it was such an honour, but I kept asking myslef.....where did all those years fly to???

We are not in Kanasas anymore Toto!

 The boys team looked "marvel"....lous and as you can see the day was very formal!

Rachael's dad, Rick whispering the his final message to his daughter

"......and remember...clean your room!!!!"

As you can see Rachael had the "you can do it" attitude!

Love me and the world is mine.

Charlemagne Lodge was, as always a stunnining venue

with manager Bev ensuring that everything goes to plan.

The wedding party set off for a photo session in the area

It was late afternoon and the wheather was perfect, especially for March.

When I look into your eyes, it’s like falling in love all over again.

Is Rachael barking up the wrong tree!

A great day shared with special people

especially Dad, Rick and wife Judith

and Mum, Karen and Gary

I love you – those three words have my life in them.

Shelley and Jason - Kati Kati

Shelley and Jason both work at the mines in Western Australia, but decided that Shelley's family home in Kati Kati should be the location for her and Jason's special day.

The morning brought heavy rains and howling winds, but as Shelley arrived the sun shone, and the rest of the day was dry and the sun came out in the later afternoon.

I just loved Shelley's boots

Jason who hailed orginally from New South Wales soon got into our kiwi heritage and together with his brother the best man, they fitted in perfectly

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

The most perfect and beautiful garden I  have ever been in!

The Elms - Chrissy and Scott

One of my favourite locations in Tauranga is "The Elms" it is our hidden jewel and it is s full of history, the perfect spot for a wedding.

I just love the old barn at the Elms, you can visualise the area back in the days when missionary, Alfred Brown  first came to Tauranga in 1838.....

What do they say abut the eyes being the windows to your soul....Chrissy must have a beautiful soul!

The kiss that seals the deal between Scott and Chrissy!

Mother and daughter both looked stunning!

Eat your heart out Brad and Angelina.......a paparazzi shot of the celebrity couple Chrissy and Scott!

"I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you" (Roy Croft)

Love me and the world is mine.

It was beautiful down at the Mount, and we were lucky enough to have a cruise ship pass on the horizon

I love you – those three words have my life in them

The evening light was wonderful, everything had a fabulous glow to it , not sure if it was the setting sun or the radiance bouncing off of Chrissy and Scott!

"Love reminds you that nothing else matters."

 and friends and family are special
