Bridal Shoot by Peaches & Mint

You may remember Pia's work from this gorgeous shoot here. Well this is another beauty she recently shoot featuring Patricia Vincent's bridal gowns. It totally reminds me of a perfume ad.. don't you agree? Head over to Peaches & Mint to see more of Pia's work.

Bridal Shoot by Stephanie Sunderland

Hello! I hope you've had a fabulous week... mine's actually been really productive. I'm working on some awesome custom designs at the moment. I can see my Christmas break will be spent trying to do shoots of a lot of them... when hopefully the weather settles in summer mode! 

We don't see a lot of bridal shoots around these parts but these beautiful photos by Stephanie Sunderland might have a lots of girls rushing to book one in! Megan... the gorgeous bride with her beautiful freckles!!... met her Spanish fiance Carlos in College. Their wedding planning has been somewhat challenging due to Carlos still waiting for a Visa, and being apart for most of the time, but they're finally able to get married and it's tomorrow!! Wishing you both a wonderfully happy day!!

Pretty Pink Bridal Session by Forever Photography

Good morning, good morning!! Did you have a nice weekend? I know it's Tuesday already but I took a while to get going yesterday. We had {MAG}rouge bootcamp at mine all weekend... like really ALL weekend! Four girls... all set up with computers in my dining room, and we barely left the room! My husband was a saint, putting up with raucous cackling through out the day... and even doing housework around us!! (yep he's a keeper!!). I'm getting very excited to share the big reveal with you... this time next week!! Eeeeeekkk!
In the meantime we're kickstarting the week with a huge dose of pretty today!! This gorgeous bridal session was sent it by Jerry & Jona Blackwell from Forever Photography. It took place at Rachel Ashwell's B&B The Prairie. Doesn't it just look perfectly girly and ladylike?

Cotton fields Bridal Session from Hyer Images...

Isn't this bridal shoot just lovely? The beautiful soft pink light is so pretty... and those cotton fields!! The photos were taken at the historical Boone Hall Plantation.... a place I really want to visit! Amanda's dress is from Davids Bridal and her jewelry is from Dee Ruel in Mt. Pleasant. Dee's jewelry is all made uniquely made by hand... check out the website, there are some lovely pieces on there! 

Thanks to the always lovely Billy & Rachel from Hyer Images for sharing this with us!! And congratulations to Amanda and her new husband Wes who just got married a couple of weekends ago.

Vintage Bridal Session

We're kick starting the week off with this ever so pretty bridal shoot from Jona & Jerry Blackwell of Forever Photography Studio. Bridal shoots aren't a big thing in New Zealand... in fact I'd say they're quite rare but speaking as someone who is extremely self conscious in front of the camera (like ridiculously so!) I think this is a great ice-breaker, not only to feel more comfortable with your photographer, but with yourself. Your wedding photos are for life and you want to ensure you love them, so if you can have a play around before the big day and work out some do's and don'ts then I'm sure the end result can only be better for having done so? What do you think... would you do a Bridal Session? Have any of you New Zealand brides done one?
Jennifer... the gorgeous bride below, went along with her own props and had plenty of ideas of her own to play around with. I love that gorgeous vintage car with the luggage!
