Andrew is Welsh (YEY!!!!), Leah is from Dunedin, and they live over in Barry, South Wales with their gorgeous daughter Seren (what a lovely Welsh name!). Not only did Andrew and Leah fly halfway around the world for their New Zealand wedding... but they managed to haul over TWENTY SEVEN of their friends and family! A number that so impressed the local press here that they appeared in the Otago Daily Times.
The day started with champagne and strawberries at Leah's mum's house, and was followed by a service at St Joseph's Basilica. A and L then organised a tour of the city for their lovely Welsh guests, before ending up at Glenfalloch country lodge, where the fire was burning and the night ended with dancing and sparklers. I love sparklers.
Oh and one more thing. Leah and Andrew were just a delight to work with - from keeping in touch with me regularly after our first meeting a year ago, to sending me little tidbits about their wedding, to being like two completely in love MODELS on the day itself. I couldn't ask for more.
Have a fabulous honeymoon in Thailand you two!
I have another wedding coming up to show you, with a ceremony inside a cave.....
Sinead... he is JUST adorable! I love the picture of him smiling.
(06.08.10 @ 04:03 AM)Oh, that smile, it's just so divine! Actually he looks very like Steven in the smiley photo. CAN'T WAIT

Exhibit A: Me with long hair, before baby, on holiday in India with Steven:
Exhibit B: Me with long hair and highlights, approximately 1 million years ago (where is that dress now I wonder...):
Exhibit C: My hair at the moment (semi short):
And lastly, Exhibit D: Me with a hat (short hair???):
Hmmmmm.
I like exhibit A. Probably also because it has that 'we are wonderfully carefree and on holiday' look. But you also look great with highlights and a hat... is this helping? I like them all! you could also wear a hat for the next 3 months. This is Dunedin after all. Oh but you're going to warmer climates. Hmm, I think I should stop babbling now.
(06.02.10 @ 10:36 PM)Personally I like long with highlights. Definitely long... but highlights is your choice. xxx
(06.03.10 @ 03:39 AM)I think long hair. Use it while you've got it that's what I say.
And I've just noticed we have the same teeth. Weird.
(06.03.10 @ 12:52 PM)Long : )
(06.04.10 @ 08:54 PM)Woops... it was me that said long : )
(06.04.10 @ 08:55 PM)I think long then!! How exciting. For some reason I was thinking short.. but actually the worst photograph of the lot is the recent one with me and the short hair. Decision made. Thanks for the comments!
(06.04.10 @ 09:52 PM)I am totally late and am going against the grain! I like semi-short Exhibit C. I think it's the best photo! Elmer helps :)
(06.06.10 @ 11:31 AM)Yes, you've thrown a spanner into the works there Belinda. But thank you for the compliment! A non-blowdried version of the current me probably isn't the best image to post! Well,I will be leaving it as it is, and seeing if any growth looks good. Thanks for your help folks!
(06.08.10 @ 12:09 AM)I'd say long, too. I always think of you as a short-haired person, but you do really suit it long. Remember when I gave you a graduated bob with highlights? That was quite ambitious for an amateur.
(06.10.10 @ 03:37 AM)Another Queensberry Wedding Album to show you, that I've just dispatched to Sean and Sacha. They chose a stylish black silk cover with classic ivory mounted images inside. Yum:
God damn.............. awesome pics !!X
(06.03.10 @ 01:06 AM)Thanks! :)
(06.20.10 @ 01:25 PM)Sinead: "Hey, I think Nana is getting a bit fat, you might want to cut back on her food."
Steven: "No she's not fat, that's just her natural shape. She looks good. And anyway, she gets less food than Nails as it is." (Her 'natural shape'!)
Sinead: "Yes, although Nails is very energetic and works off his food. He exercises. So he needs more."
Steven: "Oh Nana exercises! What do you think she's doing all day? She's out chasing rabbits and guarding the place whilst Nails is lazing around here looking for pats..."
Which just goes to prove what I always say - Nails is the most loyal. And therefore the best! Look how he jumps up to the window and then as soon as Nana comes along shifts to the side so that she can't jump up too. So cute!
And the look of dismay in that last image ("She is ALWAYS cramping my style").
Oh and for people thinking "I want to see pretty weddings on the blog not dogs!" I have two lovely winter weddings coming up in the next couple of weeks...
Ha ha!
(05.31.10 @ 05:00 PM)Hi Sinead, it's Megan (midwife) here!! I love Nails he is so cool, this time last year he was sneaking in the door while I was visiting!!! I love your pictures and have loved looking at that beautiful baby of yours!!! hehe
(06.19.10 @ 10:22 PM)Aww, thanks Megan, lovely to hear from you! Haha, I remember Nails sneaking inside to listen to the baby conversations :)
(06.20.10 @ 01:27 PM)
Gorgeous photos! That lady in purple, with the tear in her eye -- must be the mother of the bride, no? She looks so moved by her daughter's beauty in that dress!
(06.17.10 @ 06:06 PM)wow...what can i say.......so excited........these are wonderful.....well done jolene.....
(06.18.10 @ 11:15 AM)hi sinead....so sorry i called you jolene....i had just emailed jolene to tell her how beautiful her flowers were....
(06.19.10 @ 11:24 AM)Haha, no problems, I was thinking "Jolene??" She did do a lovely job with the flowers!
