Having
to photograph a wedding at my hometown of Petone always a gives me a feeling of
nostalgia. Catriona and Minh had
their wedding ceremony across the road from where they are living, which was
very convenient and special to them.
The weather was stunning for a late November wedding, and having a
gorgeous sunset at The Pines over looking the Cook Strait is always a
bonus. The love that Catriona
and Minh have for each other was evident throughout the day and the family and
friends of both couples enjoyed celebrating that love.
Red dresses always make an impact. They also seem to fall faster as well.
Catriona’s parents living and dining rooms were temporarily converted into a hair salon, beauty salon and changing room all at once. It was organised chaos with a lot fun thrown in. I don’t know what the grey trousers were all about, though they were certainly in contrast to those red dresses.
Catriona
looked stunning in her dress, but capturing her smile was priceless.
The
groom and groomsmen were looking spick and span.
It’s a pity we don’t dress like this more often.

The
ceremony was so relaxed and capturing Catriona’s smile was a treat.
The day ends in a blaze in colour with the bride and groom dressing in traditional Vietnamese wedding clothes, as well as a beautiful sunset over the Cook Strait.
