Nat & Quins Elizabeth House Wedding
On Sunday 10th October 2010 (10/10/10) Nat & Quin tied the knot in a beautiful intimate ceremony with their closest friends and family at Elizabeth House in Christchurch.
We were very honoured and excited to be a part of their special day which began at 7am at the Novatel in Cathedral Square. Nat, her beautiful bridesmaids Niki & Jasmine were veeery relaxed and soaked in every minute of having their make-up done by the fabulous Ava Wilson and getting their hair done by Haley Saul.
Once Nat was in her amazing dress, we popped downstairs to the Novatel foyer area to take advantage of it…
Then it was time to head on over to Elizabeth House – Nat & the Bridesmaids were collected in one of the groomsmens cars.
Meanwhile… Sarah was over in Huntsbury at the Grooms parents house while Quin & the boys got themselves ready.
Arriving late… but not too late… it was time to make the walk down the isle out into the gardens of Elizabeth House, through her admiring friends and family to her anxiously awaiting groom.
After a heartfelt and humorous ceremony from the NZ Armys chaplin, it was time for Mr & Mrs Bunn to celebrate with friends and family.
After being congratulated by friends and family, it was time to enjoy photos with them and then we were off to Mona Vale for photos with the lively bridal party before heading back to Elizabeth House for speeches and a meal with friends and family.
Congratulations Nat & Quin… thanks for letting us be a part of your special day. We wish you many, many years of love, friendship & happiness.
beautiful babies…
We have had quite a few wee ones through our doors lately… Skyla & Madison in particular were two little darlings… both around 6 months old and just a delight to photograph…

So we didn’t have a great response to our first competition away from Facebook – would appreciate your feedback on this because we just love to run competitions…
so anyway, the winners have been contacted but just for your info – here is the list from Random.org
Would love your ideas for a new competition too!!
Meet Kaea, LJ, Paul, Kylie & Gemma
On saturday we had a very fun photo shoot with Kaea and his lovely parents L-J & Paul.
Kaea was all smiles as soon as he came in the door and was the perfect wee model!
and so were his parents! LOVE this gorgeous photo
Sunday saw us take on a Trash the Dress shoot with Kylie & Gemma. Kylie from The New Black Web Design actually designed our website for us so it was fun to be able to do something for her 
We originally planned to head out and find some snow… but time got away from us after the girls had their hair done by our wonderful hairstylist Kendyll Mitchell and their makeup done thanks to Ava Wilson.
We opted to head up the Port Hills to see what we could find… we came across a car rally…
we met some lovely people who invited the girls in to warm up next to the fire
the fog started to set in so we headed down the hill a bit to Victoria Park and had a Kiwiana food fight! What a way to Trash the Dresses!
