Gorgeous flowers, thank you Naomi.I couldn’t resist taking this photo of them. Tears of joy in our house this morning… which never reflects badly on yours truly! You are Auckland & New Zealand’s most wonderfully talented florist. Can’t wait to see more of your fabulous creations at our weddings this year. Leaf & Honey, you rock!
We all know that the Auckland weather can be more that just a little unpredictable. We can’t change it but we can work with it. Rain can come just when you least expect it as Mandy & Nathan found out. Just moments before she was due to join Nathan under the wonderful outdoor chandelier in the gardens at the Keliher Estate the heavens. Pretty upsetting for them because they had planned for months to be married in exactly that spot. So what next? Did we all through our hands up in despair, where there tears and hysterics? Well no there was none of that because we had sorted out a ‘just-in-case-of-the-rain’ location for their ceremony at their pre-wedding photography planning meeting. We switched to our ‘wet weather’ locations for the creative bridal photos and then we winged it a little in the showers . Plus we got to use the funky Elizabeth Dhal umbrella!
11th September is famous for a number of things like; on this day in 1962 Ringo Star replaced Pete Best to become the drummer in The Beatles and Mahatma Gandhi creating the term “Satyagraha” to decribe the Non-Violence movement in South Africa, on the 11th September 1946 the first car to car long distance telephone call was made, in 1927 Babe Ruth hit the 50th of his 60 Home Runs on this day .
There were some famous weddings too, who-dun-it novelist Agatha Christie on this day in 1930 not to mention fashion designer Donna Karren in 1983 on the 11th September and Belgium’s King Leopold in 1941. Okay, so why all this splendid information about 11th September I hear you ask. Well, something is happening on the 11h September 2013 to rub shoulders with the aforementioned glitterati…… the launch of our new wedding photography website. We’ve gone for a full HD video which dose look pretty great on playback and new galleries which make it easy to see the photos on devices. All of the photographs are by our award winning photographer Chris Loufte and we are adding pages specifically to showcase our Indian weddings this year as Smita and Kiran’s was so much fun. Over 900 guests at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre in Auckland, I think Chris would have shot it for the food alone. You can see some of the photos on our Facebook page www.facebook/Loufte and head for the wedding photographer or in Smita & Kirans indian wedding gallery within the new website.
Chris chose this image to go with this post because it has a theme of the beginning of a new journey, It’s a photo from Amanda & Rewi’s wedding in Nelson this year. It was in a lovely picture post card church for the ceremony then off to the Tahunanui Beach for a creative photos of the bridal party.
