Whew last weekend was a scorcher! But Ashleigh and Cory took Invercargill's record high temperatures in their stride on their wedding day and it made for a wonderful sunny day of celebrating! These two got married in the presence of their family and friends at Hawthorne Gardens, followed by an afternoon of celebrating with ice cold beverages and sticking to the shade to keep cool. 

Over the past year of getting to know Ashleigh and Cory on their wedding journey, I've come to know that Ashleigh and Cory aren't the type of people that wear their hearts on their sleeves. As wedding photographers we often see brides that tear up with emotion before they're even in their wedding dress, or grooms that struggle to hold back tears at the ceremony. These two were so laidback about everything that at times I thought perhaps I was more excited than them! But what I've also come to know is that Ashleigh and Cory both have big, kind hearts! They might not get bubbly with excitement or teary-eyed but I could tell just how happy these guys were to be pronounced husband and wife. Every time Ashleigh looked at Cory it was with a huge smile. They were totally relaxed and happy to go-with-the-flow on what was an incredibly hot day. And we had so much fun spending the day with them and their awesome bridal party!

Ashleigh and her bridesmaids got ready at the McKenzie family home. The house was filled with chatter and laughter all morning as everyone got ready.

It was awesome to be back at Hawthorne Gardens in Invercargill - such a beautiful venue. And Cory looked pretty stoked to see his girl walking down the aisle towards him!

Cory and Ashleigh's wedding reception was at the Invercargill Working Men's Club which looked incredible with all the wee hunting and country-themed additions. If you haven't guessed already Cory is a keen hunter!

Ashleigh and Cory didn't want a first dance where everyone stood back and watched, so they asked everyone to join them on the dance floor for their first dance played by Invercargill band; 5th Avenue.
