It was a fun day for our wedding photographers Jess Dewsnap and second shooter Sandi Tourell...
The team split up in the morning, with Sandi spending time photographing the Men and Jess with the Ladies over in Mana. The two groups then met up at the beautiful Old St Paul's Church for the Ceremony. Outside, it was a wild and windy day. Luckily, our experience in Wellington Wedding photography meant Jess and Sandi were able to use the wind to their advantage and take some lovely shots of the bridal party at Parliament, where the first part of the Creative Photo Shoot took place. Georgina's veil seemed to have a mind of its own, grasping every opportunity to fly away excitedly in the wind.
The second and third parts of the Creative Photo Shoot took place at Aotea Lagoon and at Gear Homestead in Porirua, where the views of the twin harbours from the front porches are breathtaking. This is also where the Wedding Reception was held.
Our team had such fun with the bridal party! Two of Georgina's bridesmaids were her sisters, and wore gorgeous dresses made by Georgina (who studied Fashion Design).
On a sentimental note, the bride and groom requested that we take a special photograph showing three generations on Georgina's side: It shows her mums hand, her Grandmother's hand and Georgina's hand, each displaying their wedding rings. A beautiful memory to treasure for the future.
Jude & Stephen
Stephen and Jude’s wedding was a whole lot of fun with a touch of crazy: Our photographer Doug Mountain felt privileged to be a part of Stephen and Jude’s big day, and, as you can see, managed to capture all the big moments for the happy couple!
Jude and Stephen's Black and White wedding
Stephen and Jude’s wedding was a whole lot of fun with a touch of crazy: It was a joining of two existing families, a bringing together of a lively bunch of friends, with laughter and smiles aplenty! Our photographer Doug Mountain felt privileged to be a part of Stephen and Jude’s big day, and, as you can see, managed to capture all the big moments for the happy couple!
The ceremony was held at Old St Paul’s, a spectacular venue always… The creative photo shoot took place across three locations: outside Parliament, at the Botanic Gardens and finally, at Oriental Bay. The happy couple drove around in magnificent 1958 Cadillacs to each location.
The reception room at the Intercontinental was transformed by Jude and Stephen into a magnificent Black and White extravaganza. Doug slipped out just as the dancing got underway- it looked like a really fun night all round. Thank you Jude and Stephen for allowing us to share this day with you!
