After being in contact via email for the past couple of years I was thrilled to finally meet Katie from Quinn & Katie Photography at the recent workshop that Kate Robinson held. And I'm just as thrilled to have them up on the blog again today with this lovely surprise beachside wedding of Janelle & Mark's. The guests turned up thinking they were there for an engagement party but no... a wedding it was. And a wedding that Janelle had organised from Italy where Mark was playing rugby. Looks like they pulled it off beautifully. Janelle shares more about their day with us...

Why hello there! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend (New Zealander folks that is) despite the mostly miserable weather. I had a fabulous time at the Kate Robinson Planted with Light workshop. Kate did an amazing job, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all the attendees. We did a fun little shoot with the stunningly gorgeous Claire from Claire Mossong Photography stepping in front of the camera for a change alongside her husband Alex. Hope to have some images to share with you very soon!

Rachel from Swift & Click sent in this gorgeous Papamoa Beach wedding that she worked on with the fabulous Shaye from On My Hand. As friends this was the first time they'd managed to work together on a wedding and I love what they've produced as a team.

Hello lovely people!! Did you have a nice weekend? The sun was finally shining here... the clocks sprung forward, it was lovely and warm outside and it certainly seems like spring had finally arrived!! (fingers crossed it stays!!). Pure bliss... makes me so excited for summer!! And I'm also very excited to be starting the week off with this gorgeous beach wedding from Greta of Vela Images. I love the soft colour palette with the lavender bridesmaids dresses, and the Bride's stunning dress for Natalie Chan is just wow!! The gorgeous bride Samantha shares some details about their day. Congratulations to you both!

I love the sentiment behind today's beautifully colourful wedding from Claire Mossong. Kim & Ryan chose to incorporate their local community into their wedding as much as they could, and re-purposed what they could from times past. And how fabulous does it look? I LOVE that the bride chose a printed fabric for her dress, it just looks so fun! And the bridesmaids... sorry 'honourable ladies', look fabulous in their colourful dresses with flowers adorning their hair. I will leave it to the gorgeous bride Kim, to tell you why they chose to have their community based wedding.

Today's wedding from Quinn & Katie Photography is tinged with such emotion, but it certainly goes to show you how beautiful and heartfelt a wedding you can pull off in as little as three weeks. Read Fee and Ben's story below... oh and take note of that gorgeous feather bodice on Fee's dress!! Beautiful!

Our wedding day was delayed as after our engagement party we decided to move on and try for little ones. At the start of 2012 on a weekend in Auckland I entertained the idea with a couple of my bridesmaids and that it could be possible to organise a wedding in 3 months to be held at Easter. With the likes of an hour or so up our sleeve before an event that afternoon we perused Modes and Juliette Hogan amongst a few. After scanning Modes bridal books I was totally inspired and I fell in love with the dress and with some swift talking as no appointment was made I able to try on, needless to say there were tears, I was in love!
