Tim & Becky married at the end of February in Luggate which is just a ten minute drive from Wanaka. Becky booked me as their photographer after seeing a friend of a friend's wedding I photographed last year. She contacted me online and we have been corresponding via email since.

It's a very rare thing for me to photograph a wedding without having met the couple already, but up until the day before the wedding I hadn't met either Tim or Becky. In most cases I would find this a disadvantage but the moment I saw Becky & her beautiful smile I felt like we had been friends for ages!

These two have been sweethearts for many years and I saw straight away that they both adore each other. You really couldn't find a more happy, easy-going couple! And the love they share is complete with their two beautiful children.

Tim & Becky's wedding was a day filled with happiness and had a huge emphasis on the family & friends they were sharing the day of celebration with.

I love it when bride's are totally okay with me taking their dress outside to photograph it!

Becky had makeup artist Wendy, from Revive Beauty Therapy, and hair stylist; Kylie, from Mountain Air Hair Studio in Wanaka, come to the house where everyone had a chilled out morning being pampered & getting ready.

Tim & Becky's son, Jackson, was quite intrigued with my big camera after he woke from his nap.  

The flowers in the girl's bouquets were picked from the family's garden and were a beautiful mixture of colour, wrapped in burlap and ribbon.

Matt headed over to see the guys who were getting ready at Lake Hawea. Tim took a quiet moment to read a handwritten letter from Becky, before sharing a beer with the boys.

How cool are these cufflinks?! With matching boutonnieres! I think it's awesome how the guys put their own spin on their details for the day!

The guys headed over to Luggate & started greeting guests as they arrived, while it was time for Becky to get in to her dress.

Cutie-pie Grace thought her Mum looked so pretty! I know this because she told everyone in the room quite a few times. And of course she was right - Becky you made a stunning bride!

Tim & Becky had their ceremony in their backyard! Complete with a handmade arch and straw bales as seats for the guests. It really doesn't get more special or personalised than that!

I'm a sucker for romance and love which is probably a huge part of why I love being a wedding photographer. I just love documenting the celebration of love & special moments like these precious candid shots!

We left the guests to enjoy the good weather in the backyard while we went with this good looking bridal party for a drive to a couple of photo locations. The girls had packed a picnic hamper, the guys had sorted some ice cold drinks for the journey and we had a cruisy afternoon taking photos!

I loved the rustic, country-style details at the reception which went perfectly with the Luggate Hotel venue!

The speeches were fantastic! Many stories told, a few yarns and countless bursts of laughter in amongst the heartfelt words of celebration and joy.
