Hamilton Baby Portrait – Sam, Mark & Ruby
June 7th, 2011Hamilton Portrait Shoot – Amy, Ryan & Family
June 2nd, 2011This afternoon I met up with Amy and Ryan with their two daughters and their dogs for a portrait shoot at Forest Lake Hamilton. Some of my brides will recognise Amy and Ryan who run Amy’s Flowers.
I love to photograph portraits however my subjects like to be photographed. This is exactly what Amy and Ryan love to do and the weather played its part wonderfully as well.

Soljans Estate Wedding Photos – Vanessa & Ross
May 4th, 2011On Friday Gary (one2one UK) and I headed to Auckland to photograph Vanessa & Ross’ wedding at Soljans Estate. They chose to do their bridal party images before the wedding as many couples do this time of year with the fading light. We set-up their ‘first look’ and Ross’ face tells the story of that moment in one photo. We also organised some time so we could take advantage of the dusk shot opportunities as well.
Here are a few of our favourite shots, hope you enjoy them.

OK, lets cut the veil to length, right now – eek!
Love this shot, Vanessa’s Mum and her Sister Stephanie
Dad waiting patiently to see his Daughter, captured by Gary
Great photos need no explanation
Gary caught up with the boys but they were running a tad late due to a very extensive shaving fest
Now Ross’ turn to wait for his bride
I can’t recall what Gary said to Ross, but went something along the lines, ‘you ready to get your bride’
Love how we can capture these moment images
Great shot by Gary, talk about hitting the button at the right moment, awesome
Poor Stephanie tried so hard to keep it together, awww
Indian Wedding Photography – Radhika & Param
April 27th, 2011What can I say about Radhika and Param’s wedding ceremony last Saturday….simply stunning in every way. Full of wonderful tradition, colour, love and laughter. I love the bartering that constantly goes on to progress the ceremony, even to get shoes back to the Bride and Groom.
Radhika and Param, thank you for entrusting these special moments to Gary and I and allowing one2one to capture your wedding day.
Here are a few of our favourites. Steve
Indian Wedding Photography, Grah Shantak – Radhika’s Family
April 22nd, 2011Today we attended the Temple for the Grah Shantak for Radhika’s family. This is a very important religious ceremony. Both sets of parents are the primary figures in the invocation. On behalf of the parents, the officiating priests ask the deities to ensure stellar harmony and peace during the period of their son and daughter’s wedding.
The bride takes a coconut to her parents who are seated on ‘patlas’ (low stools) in front of the sacred fire and seats herself beside them. While the priest is performing the ‘puja’, she hands this ‘shriphal’ (coconut) to her parents, who in turn hand it over to the priest for ‘ahuti’ (sacrifice). The coconut is consigned to flames, thus propagating peace and harmony between all the nine planets.
Here’s a few of our favourites from today. Steve
Indian Wedding Photography Mandap Muhurat – Radhika & Param
April 21st, 2011NZ – This morning Gary (one2one UK) and I were up early to attend the Mandap Muhurat at Radhika’s parents house. This is the 3rd Indian wedding I have shot and you never forget the colours and the cultural intricacies of an Indian Wedding build up.
Here are a few of our favourites from today, more tomorrow. Steve
Sarnia Park Wedding Photos – Emma & Fraser
April 19th, 2011On Saturday Arie and I headed to Sarnia Park to the longly awaited wedding of Emma and Fraser. There were rain clouds all day and eventually it was decided to have the wedding inside the beautiful house at Sarnia. Fading light at this time of year is always a challenge but I love shooting natural light and we grabbed some great bridal party images. I stayed until the very end and did a ‘photo booth’ type thing for Emma and Frasers guests to leave message, great idea.
Enjoy a few of my favs, Steve
