We moved
As some of you may be aware over the summer break my partner and I moved into our new house down in the Waikato. We packed up our bags and moved about 1.5 hours south of Auckland to the countryside. Our new home and the TN studio are situation in the rural outskirts of Cambridge. We are surrounded by so much natural beauty, it's hard not to be inspired all the time! During my lunch breaks I've been getting some fresh air by going on little runs around our 'neighbourhood'. Here are some images I captured during my adventures. More about our new home and the studio soon!

Chloe & Matt
A little over a year ago one of my closets friends in New Zealand asked me if I could help her on her big day - of course my answer was YES! Chloe and Matt had the most picturesque farm wedding where so many their close family and friends played a special part on the day. I particularly got to help by making their wedding invitations and being the coordinator / decorator on the big day! They had others help out in so many ways: Matt's sister hand made the beautiful personalised spoons for each guest, Chloe's grandparents did the service, the boys hunted all the meat for the day, one Chloe's sister designed the dress and her school friend made it (did you see that detail work!), and Chloe even baked her own cake! The list goes on and on of those everyone came together for this spectacular farm wedding. Here are some lovely images captured by Peta Mazey of the breathtaking day! 
The lovely couple are moving to Matt's farm (where the wedding took place) this coming June where they will be reminded everyday of this wonderful event! To Matt and Chloe - the best couple I know! x Band: The Unfaithful Ways Hair: Jenna Grey & Caroline Antonsen Makeup: Lucy from Beauty on Location Caterer: The Mihi Cafe Photography: Peta Mazey Styling & Stationery: Toodles Noodles
