Anna and Kester Sneak Peek | Featherston Wedding Photography Tarureka | In the Olive Grove

Anna and Kester were married at Tarureka; a gorgeous location I’ve had the pleasure of photographing at many times. What was different this time, was that they also booked out the Olive Grove up the road, and I was just about beside myself with happiness shooting among overgrown buttercups and daisies in an established olive orchard. I can’t recommend this little hideaway enough if you’re getting married at Turareka; it’s perfection, and just 2 minutes away.

I don’t usually post much more than a few portraits for a ‘sneak peek’ post, but I couldn’t resist including this next shot. I got it while Anna and Kester were waiting happily for their witnesses to sign their marriage register during the wedding ceremony; a time where I love focusing on the couple since it’s usually the first moment they get to take each other in all day. Anna turned to Kester and they just looked at each other. It made for such a beautiful moment.

    Beautiful beautiful photographs, my compliments to the photographer… But let’s face it, with that sort of love it was always going to be transparent! You’ve made me blub like a small child Anna- but I guess you knew you would xxxxxxxxxxxcx

    Right now it is -20 Fahrenheit where I am, and I think that I will just keep looking back at that first image to warm me up. I love the slightly cool tones and low contrast, but the composition is what really get me. Just lovely. Thanks for a little bit of summer!
