Katie & Dan’s Wedding at Hamilton Gardens

Katie and Dan’s wedding… what a great wedding day!

They live in Palmerston North but chose to marry in the Rose Garden’s at Hamilton Gardens.  As many of their guests and bridal party were not from Hamilton, they were absolutely astounded at the Hamilton Gardens, something we Hamiltonians take very much for granted.

Although there were some cliché shots, for Katie and Dan, these were very different, which was great.  As for the bridal party, Katie’s bridesmaids Melissa and Meredith were stalking me with their cameras.  I have never seen so many pics captured by a pair of bridesmaids, almost more than me, lol.

I was hired all day and night again, cheers for dinner guys, and it was well worth the wait for some very funny gags at the end on the dance floor, thanks to Scott from  Soundz Good Entertainment, he did an awesome job.

Now… there was some weird photography going on at this wedding and it was not what one2one photography was doing! Katie’s sister Meredith was quite the amateur photographer but she comes from a family of professional wedding photographers, so this was just how it was to be!

Some things just get lost in translation. All I said was to walk naturally towards me and Katie must have heard push Dan into the hedge, lol

    Amazing shots Steve, thanks for helping us have a brilliant day. Everyone had a great time. I’m sure you said “Push Dan in the bush” quite clearly!! :)

    Currently enjoying the sunshine in Raro, looking forward to the photos when we get back.

    You did a fantastic day, and will be highly recommended.

    P.S. There’s still cake.
