Mr & Mrs Reid and the most perfect winter wedding at . What a day this was! We loved being a part of this and celebrating with these two as they became husband and wife this weekend! Absolute dream! Also, if anyone’s interested in cars. This defender pretty much was such a highlight for these guys (and let’s be honest, Matt too!) and it made the coolest wedding car!! Hugest congratulations .a.reid and .j.reid we loved your day!!!

What a vibe this fam was. Caitlyn was the lucky winner of our Mother’s Day giveaway I ran on instagram! I had a wonderful time with her and her fam out at her place! She also won her makeup by .beautynz_ and she looked amaaaazing! I love family sessions which have so much more than just posed formal photos. And this was definitely that!
PS. peep her most beautiful red curled girl at the end, I was obsessed.

Luvenna and Dans Easter wedding. This was just so stunning and absolutely wonderful for us to be a part of, as the third time we have shot Luvenna (twice as a bridesmaid!). This group of people are AMAZING.
As always the Henley provides the most magical backdrop and Shay, the most magical cakes 😍

Happy Easter!!! Tonight’s post is from a summer session tht I somehow never posted. Which is weird as it’s one of my faves, with some of my favourite people to photograph.
One of the perks of autumn and winter is sunset (when it does happen!) is at a much more accessible time for little ones!!!! Have just posted my current sessions available for May and July on my woman.and.child.photography Instagram stories, or alternatively feel free to get in touch here 🥰

Nicola ♥️👌

Yesterday I posted on my stories the colour/Bw versions and there was a whopping 78% of you who rated the colour! I think I do to. She gives off kind of vibes and it’s perfect 🥹👌

Last one for now. But Saturday was the one wet day for a good 10
Day stretch. And by wet, I mean really wet, except the rain started to ease in the evening and we were gutted! So when we got a last little squall of rain we hustled these two out to get one of our fave things the classic

Big ups to and for their help with this!

I don’t often share images from the styling, but I just loved how these guys set up one of our local venues really differently. The long tables were gorgeous. I also was slightly obsessed with the florals Lorraine from made!

This photo needs a place all of its own. Beautiful bride Nicola had made glasses with their new name on them (Mr and Mrs Pyne FYI 👌), and throughout the evening we got a bunch of people to chuck them on for a photo. End result perfectly encapsulates the vibe of this wedding. These guys have epic people in their life!
Would 💯 recommend making party glasses!

One more from .kimpton.sk and .kimpton featuring the STUNNING gardens where they got married. This is Levi’s parents home and they first started turning it into this gorgeous landscaped space just on 8 years ago for their ELDEST sons wedding, which just so happened to be our second wedding ever 🥹🥹🥹! The love and care that has gone into this place is incredible! Big cheers to for all the work put in 🥂 ♥️

✨HI! IT’S ME, AND WE HAVE SOME CHANGES ✨
Happy New Year! I know it is late, but I have been flat out shooting since Christmas, and this is really my end of year. 2022 was our biggest year yet with almost 60 weddings, families and babies that we have met, laughed with and photographed through the year, so THANK YOU!
We had planned a move to the UK for 2023, but with such uncertainty brewing, especially in the UK and Europe, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our move. As bitterly disappointing as this is, we are digging deep and praying that 2023 will be a joy filled and exciting year regardless!
What this means practically is that we are going into 2023/2024 summer season with zero bookings, having turned down all enquiries for this period!
SO, if you are thinking of getting married (or know someone who is) for next season, we would love to hear from you (or them!)
For all our beautiful past clients, if you refer a friend to us who ends up booking their wedding with us, we are giving YOU $150 credit with us (off sessions or albums), just make sure your friend adds your name on their contact form!
And for those of you who DO book your wedding with us, for the first time EVER we are offering a FREE engagement shoot with all 2023/2024 weddings booked before the end of March 2023, valued at $650! (Bookings for September 2023-May 2024)
Bring on 2023, I Cannot wait to see what this next year looks like!

Let’s talk about ✨RELAXED✨ wedding photography! Everyone uses this term, but what does it MEAN? I mean, of course no one is gonna advertise as offering stiff and awkward posing, but what does relaxed mean for their style of photography? For us it means natural reaction, candid moments (heavy on the not faking it thing). BUT it still involves us positioning and instructing and helping our couples to find angles and stances that are great for them during the portrait part of the day ! It also means it isn’t on you to look great in the photos, that is our job, and we will always give you cues to get you to open up and relax and laugh and have fun! Your photographers job is to direct you in what to do, you have never done this before (unless its your second or seventh wedding then yeah, you got this!) so you generally need the guidance of someone who does it weekend after weekend! Our focus is less on sexy and moody and more on fun and romance! So if this sounds like a bit of you, for truly relaxed wedding photography! Get in touch! #weddingplanner #weddingtips #weddingdiy #planningawedding #weddingplanning #weddingphotographers #relaxedweddingphotography #cornwallwedding #cornwallweddingphotographer #cornishwedding#waikatoweddingphotographer #nzweddingphotography #waikatoweddingphotography #wedding #waikatoweddings #engaged #gettingmarried #weddinginspo #weddingphotographyinspo #ukweddings #ukweddingphotographer #weddinginspiration #weddingphotographynz #weddingphotographernz #kiwiweddings #newzealandweddingphotographer #junebugweddings #nzbrideandgroom #huffpostido #heyheyhellomay

✨SO IS IT WORTHWHILE GOING FOR 2 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS?!✨ Spoiler alert, my opinion is firmly in the affirmative. Two photographers gives two sets of eyes! Matt and I have slightly different skills and we definitely have a different eye, and it gives the best balance to a wedding gallery, Being able to be shooting in different places at the same time makes a world of difference, number 1 is pre-ceremony (and there are another whole heap of reasons Pre-Ceremony is actually really important), but also during the ceremony, to cut the bridal party shooting time down, and then for speeches and first dance! Candids are always easier, your having family photos as well as getting some gorgeous mingling afternoon tea shots. Honestly, one of the best bits though is that you have WAY more fun when working with a couple, you are a little group, there is more banter more laughter and generally just such a good time. What do you think? Worth doing? #weddingplanner #weddingtips #weddingdiy #planningawedding #weddingplanning #weddingphotographers #cornwallwedding #cornwallweddingphotographer #cornishwedding#waikatoweddingphotographer #nzweddingphotography #waikatoweddingphotography #wedding #waikatoweddings #engaged #gettingmarried #weddinginspo #weddingphotographyinspo #ukweddings #ukweddingphotographer #nzbride #weddinginspiration #weddingphotographynz #weddingphotographernz #kiwiweddings #newzealandweddingphotographer #junebugweddings #nzbrideandgroom #couplegoals
