Im so excited to share with you highlights of this amazing event in Tawharanui Lodge up North where Kristy and Nick get married celebrated their special day with close friends and family coming mostly from Auckland. Its such a pleasure to be their wedding photographers and capture all the natural candid moments and portraits on this beautiful day!
Couple shared their story: “Kristy and Nick met when they were 16 and 19 years old at Whangaparaoa Tennis Club. This is where the couple first met and everyone thought Nick was Roger Federer’s twin. One day Nick managed to build up the courage to approach his sister, Victoria to ask her for Kristy’s mobile number. It wasn’t long before Courtney had set Kristy and Nick up on a date and the rest is history.” Proposal: “After waiting for 9 years and non-stop hints from the family. Nick thought that it was time to propose. He took Kristy on a surprise trip away to Paihia. When they arrived at their destination Nick thought it would be a great idea to go out and explore the area. They found a waterfall and Nick thought it would be the perfect setting for a proposal. Turning to Kristy, he asked if she would like to go for a walk to the bottom of the waterfall and of course she responded “No!”. That wasn’t the answer Nick was looking for so he responded “well, we are going anyway”. So off they went down the track to the bottom of the waterfall. After taking a few photos they then headed back up the track with Kristy walking on ahead and Nick sneakily got out his wallet and begun to unwrap the engagement ring that he had wrapped in bubble wrap. Nick then reached out to Kristy and asked her to stop and look at the scenery. He started to babble on about how fascinating the moss was on the rocks. Kristy thinking he was acting a bit strange at first pointed to a few other things in the distance and then carried on up the track not thinking to much about Nick’s fascination with the moss. Nick then built up the courage and grabbed Kristy’s hand saying “I have something to ask you”. A surprised Kristy turned around and in complete shock started saying “No, no, no, no,no”. Nick responded “yes, yes yes, yes, yes”. As Nick began to get down on one knee Kristy blurted out in embarrassment “stand up”. Nick was thrilled that he didn’t have to get down on one knee for long!. He asked Kristy to marry him and had to clarify if “no actually means yes”. A smitten Kristy responded “yes, yes yes”. She couldn’t believe this moment was actually happening!” What a beautiful story!
