Onetangi Beach Wedding,Waiheke Island, NZ

This happy couple were all smiles as the weather cleared to allow them to celebrate their wedding on Onetangi beach on Waiheke Island. It was a romantic location where they chose to exchange their vows under a beautiful old pohutukawa tree.  Although it was a little breezy it was a warm day and in typical kiwi style they decided to treat all their guests with a magnum icecream after the ceremony. Their reception was held nearby at The Dunes www.theduneswaiheke.co.nz/   with it's beautiful stunning beach front location.   All the best Julie and Daniel, it was a pleasure to officiate.  Alexa xxx

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean,

The winds of heaven mix forever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in this world is single

All things by law divine

In another's being mingle-

Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,

And the waves clasp one another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

If it disdain'd its brother:

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea_

What are all thes kissings worth,

If thou not kiss me?

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

All the best for a great life together.  ....Alexa xx

Auckland City Wedding & Sky City.

Auckland is such a scenic city and has some wonderful venues for weddings.  Hideko and Phillip chose to have some wedding photos taken at the top of the sky city tower and  what an ideal venue to celebrate a wonderful event. The scenes from the tower are breath taking with views for miles, encompassing all of the suburbs around the city, and the fabulous Waitemata Harbour.

"Never frown when you are sad because you never know who is falling in love with your smile." Anon

It was a glorious sunny day when  they chose to take their vows and they made the most of a great photo experience with a New Zealand native backdrop of ferns, kiwis and some of our majestic mountains.

They day was complete with a delicious meal in the revolving restaurant and the chocolate dessert  was finger licking good!  As we sat an checked out some of the sights we were entertained by the brightly clad gentlemen  who where brave enough to take a sky dive.   Well done and thank you Phillip and Hideko, remember this location  would be a good one for a 1st year anniversary lunch!!   Wishing you all the best for many adventures in your married life.    Alexa  xx
