Wedding Love, No. 10

Happy sunny Anzac Day to all the New Zealanders and Australians. I currently feel a bit lost in time, almost like I'm jet-lagged as I woke up at 4.30am for the Dawn service. Crazy early, however I'm glad I got up as it was amazing standing there at Auckland Domain with thousands of others as the darkness disappeared and we honoured all those who fought in the wars for our countries. Afterwards a bit of McDonalds for brekky never hurt anyone either! I hope you're all having a nice day off and stop to think about those soldiers just for a minute as you enjoy your freedom. Now, to add some more beauty to your day...
This is a beautiful wedding I second-shot for Kate Robinson Photography earlier this year. You can see more photos on Kate's blog here.

Assisting- Lucy Rice at Mt Victoria

Lately I have been doing some assisting with the delightful Lucy Rice. I love helping out on these shoots and this one was especially pretty! With some combined girly effort for styling including dipping into my overflowing drawer of pretty headbands we created some delicious looks. Hair and makeup by the Elise Wilson beautified the girls even more. These are a few of the 'behind-the-scenes' shots I took. You can see some more of my shots here and Lucy's here

Fashion/Beauty Shoot

Hope you are all having a lovely Easter break in the sunshine. SO happy the sun has decided to stay out this Autumn and we are finally getting some beautiful weather me missed out on in Summer! This week I have LOVED going to Easter Services, trying the new Whittakers peanut-butter chocolate (amazing!), having a few little shopping sprees and planning some exciting shoots to come!
This studio shoot was lots of fun with Ella from Clyne and the beautiful Gabrielle Houghton doing Make-up. I wanted it to be quite simple, minimalist styling with a strong face and bold lips. These are a few a of my faves...
