A Wedding at the Agrodome

11/25/2013

This was an exciting wedding for us.  It was the first official wedding at The Agrodome, so it was nice to go in with fresh eyes and explore the place.  

The ceremony was held at the Bowen house.  The guests arrived by tractor and trailer.  Afterwards they were taken down to the reception venue while we jumped on board another trailer with the bridal party to travel around and take the wedding portraits.  The styling and wedding bouquets were awesome!

Here are the photo highlights.

A few of my favourite things.... Dr Who

My Tardis teapot. I also have salt and pepper shakers.
Me and my oldest son, are totally geeking  out over the Dr Who 50th anniversary special playing this weekend, plus the new Doctor!  So it seems right to add 'Dr Who' to my favourite things blog/list.

Dr Who is a favourite thing because:
  • It's just totally cool!!
  • It's older than me and yet still going strong.
  • I cannot pick a favourite Doctor as I have liked them all.
  • I like the weird creatures.
  • It makes you laugh.
  • It makes you a little scared, but not enough to keep you up at night.
  • I am collecting the series (well my son is, but I'm paying for it!)
  • My cousin bought me a tardis teapot.
  • I have tardis salt and pepper shakers and Dalek glasses.
  • Spell check correctly knows how to correctly spell Dalek, so it must be important :D
  • I've got my Tom Baker afro and long scarf all ready to wear to the Dr Who 50th anniversary special!!  Whoop Whoop and Kermit flappy hands!

A Wedding at Olive Tree Cottage

It had been awhile since I'd been to Olive Tree Cottage in Tauranga, and it is still just as I remembered.  A lovely picturesque spot in the Tauranga countryside.  Tim and Hayley were the lovely couple we got to photograph on a day that had rainbows, mini storms, and sunny spells.

Here are the photo highlights.
Just click on a picture to see the larger image.


Thank You Tim and Hayley for letting me share your wedding day,

Our Outside Studio

11/13/2013

This is a set up I did just outside the door of our house/studio, in the lakeside reserve.  It was for a coffee group photo shoot.  Yarn bombed the willow tree, put out a comfy chair, a kid sized jack in the box, and my first attempt at sewing a teepee :D

A coffee group shoot is a great way to share the cost of a photo shoot, plus the kids have a good time playing!
Message me if your group of friends are interested in a combined shoot!
