Yesterday was winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and the start of winter. Today is one of my favourite days of the year, not only am I excited for all the fun in the snow and beautiful winter weddings, but from today the days get longer, which means we are closer to long summer evenings with wine. Are you a winter lover or hanging out for those long warm summer days? 
It’s been a bit since I have been on social media but it’s not because I haven’t been active. I have been spending time photographing some awesome people, doing a bunch of learning, putting together some epic packages for @shakenandstirredweddings coming up, trying to spend time with the hubby and doggo and editing, editing, and a bit more editing. This has made me think about how proud I am of where I am at now and what I can offer my couples but also how excited I am for where I am going. What’s so awesome when you book me for your wedding next year or even the year after you aren’t booking the today me you are booking the me of next year, which is the today me with tons more experience, tons more knowledge and even more ideas which excites me. For today, here is the honest excitement from Sundae Jason’s amazing Queenstown elopement. 
Ziggy and Jess had a beautifully intimate civil union at the start of the year. January is the middle of summer but it felt like winter, we postponed and spent hours staring out the window and messaging each other to find the best time, but we timed it right and got the only 30 minutes without rain for about 4 days. Their ceremony was perfect and then these adventures were more than happy to have a play in the rain, even if it was a bit cold. Thanks for having me tag along Ziggy and Jess ❤️❤️ 
Autumn sunsets and all the yummy golden tones 🧡💛🧡💛 
Everything passes by so quickly and your wedding day is one of those things, so give yourself time. Time to take it in, time to hold the one you love, time to be fully present in the moment. 
It’s been a cold, wet and windy weekend in Queenstown. So I have decided to ignore the world, light a candle and get stuck in to a bunch of editing. Here is just a little sneak peek on the most stunning and extremely heartfelt Lake Lochnagar wedding.
