Kelly looked stunning with her champange coloured lace and satin dress  and a beautiful short veil which complimented her lovely blond curly hair.   Nathan looked great with his straw coloured trousers and dark braces, pale lemon shirt and completed his look with a rather cute cap.
The rest of the bridal party looked fabulous as they joined in with the festivities.

Auckland City Wedding & Sky City.

Auckland is such a scenic city and has some wonderful venues for weddings.  Hideko and Phillip chose to have some wedding photos taken at the top of the sky city tower and  what an ideal venue to celebrate a wonderful event. The scenes from the tower are breath taking with views for miles, encompassing all of the suburbs around the city, and the fabulous Waitemata Harbour.

"Never frown when you are sad because you never know who is falling in love with your smile." Anon

It was a glorious sunny day when  they chose to take their vows and they made the most of a great photo experience with a New Zealand native backdrop of ferns, kiwis and some of our majestic mountains.

They day was complete with a delicious meal in the revolving restaurant and the chocolate dessert  was finger licking good!  As we sat an checked out some of the sights we were entertained by the brightly clad gentlemen  who where brave enough to take a sky dive.   Well done and thank you Phillip and Hideko, remember this location  would be a good one for a 1st year anniversary lunch!!   Wishing you all the best for many adventures in your married life.    Alexa  xx
