Natalie and Chris got married on the shores of Lake Tekapo. Only one of the most beautiful and photographed places in New Zealand! It was 34 degrees when we drove up on the Friday, but thankfully cooled down enough by Saturday for me to not have unsightly sweat patches as I ran around with my camera.
Chris and Natalie met the old fashioned way - whilst out dancing in a bar one night. I love the story of their meeting. I don't know why I think that's old fashioned.. maybe just that SO many people hope they'll meet the love of their life on the dancefloor and it so rarely happens in reality. Anyway, that's how my parents met, and since my parents have the best marriage ever then it must be a good omen.
I love it when people write their own vows, and I love it when people are as expressive as these two were when they said them infront of their friends and family, my camera, and several onlooking tourists and cyclists on the road up above. Beautiful.
(Chris is an architect)...
Chris is a very keen photographer, and photography featured quite a bit in the wedding, from a running slideshow of images at the reception, individual framed prints of the bridal party on table settings.... and this!! Steven probably wouldn't have been surprised if I'd pulled this trick at our wedding. So cool!
Thank you four random passing motorists!! I'm such a weakling...
The following shots are all taken from the observatory lookout point above the lake... This is why I see other photographers saying "Oh I'd love to photograph a wedding in New Zealand". How cool that this is my job!
Last summer wedding of 2010 folks! I have lots more to post in the next couple of months before my winter weddings kick off though....

Wow - amazing work Sinead - what a stunning setting. You've captured a real sense of the emotions and laughter of the day....
(04.17.10 @ 03:54 AM)Thanks Sinead. Almost 37 years after our first dance in the Crystal Ballroom in Dublin....
(04.18.10 @ 08:01 AM)I hate to be pedantic, but it's 41 years. Your mother's grasp of maths has always been suspect.
(04.20.10 @ 03:30 AM)It's just the first four years passed in a blur!!!!!!!!!! And then we got married...that came out wrong...
(04.22.10 @ 06:14 AM)Who is this anonymous woman who married my father...?
(04.23.10 @ 11:25 AM)The internet is so confusing sometimes!
