WAIHEKE ISLAND WEDDING, NEW ZEALAND | KATIE + NICK

Do you rembember Katie and Nick's engagement session we had a couple of months ago in Auckland? HERE the link in case you missed.

Some days later that portrait session, Katie and Nick finally tied the knot in Waiheke Island which is a fabulous island 30 minutes by ferry far from Auckland, New Zealand.

They decided to have Sophia from My Waiheke Weddings to help them with planning and styling and they choose a magnificent private beach to have a very romantic ceremony on the sand with their closest friends and families.

The magic flower decorations are from the amazing Wild Flower and the breathtaking Katie's dress from Vinka Design.

Was a great honor to be there, working with great experts and create an unforgettable day for them, thanks Katie and Nick for having us!!!

TUSCANY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - STEPHANIE+JONATHON

We have no words to describe how funny has been this wedding. 

We've got in touch with Stephanie and Jonathon almost a year before the date and even if we had a quick skype-call about the planning of all the things about their photoshoot we didn't understand how in love they were with our style.

They totally wanted a candid photoshoot without posed portraits so we were veeeeery excited about that, it was an opportunity to shoot a bit different than usual.

So guys, here the story of Stephanie and Jonathon full of emotional moments but also very funny and spontaneous shots.

BEST OF 2016

This year has been explosive for us, we started with a magical GREEK WEDDING IN FIJI then we walked through New Zealand, our favourite wildest country, to meet fantastic couples who gave us more than we could expect in terms of friendship, love and fun.

After that incredible experience we travelled through NORWAY just to spend a bit of time by ourselves before the wedding season that has been unbelievably full of lovely people, beautiful destinations and of course magical situations to shoot and love stories to tell.

We finished all these in the best way with the nominee from RANGEFINDER MAGAZINE as 30RISING STARS OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2016. 

So guys, here a totally random selection of all the things we did, have a look, enjoy it and leave a comment ;-)

Also, we want to thank all the couples, the colleagues and the people we have met this year and who gave us something to grow up with.

RANGEFINDER'S 30 RISING STARS OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2016

It's very hard to describe the emotions we felt on the moment we received Libby's email who said we were nominated as 30 RISING STARS OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY in 2016 by Rangefinder Magazine.

We always have been huge fans of this amazing magazine, we really love it, and we enjoy every time having a look on it. We admire the great work from talented photographers they usually share.

Some of our friends and collegues have been nominated in the past years and we cannot believe they really choose us between the 30 names.

This is one of the biggest goals we could achieve in our young career and it's the strongest inspiration and incentive to do it better every time.

We are so grateful and we cannot thank enough all our couples who made this possible, all the people we have met during our adventure, who has always supported us and believe in what we were doing but biggest thank goes to Rangefinder Magazine and all the judges for gave us this great opportunity.

And of course we want so say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to all the colleagues that made the list with us, you are so talented and a big inspiration for us! Can't wait to meet you in person (or "again" to whom is already friend)!!
