Wow! What a wedding. This was a day to remember. Thankfully for Olivia and Mark they'll treasure the memories forever on the DVD I'm producing for them.
The weather was perfect for this wedding, hot and a little overcast with a nice breeze. The ceremony was held at Saint Matthew's in the City, Auckland. And the reception was held at Highwic House in Newmarket/Epsom. Both venues are highly recommended if you are considering a church wedding and a garden marquee reception.
I also high commend the services of Tanya Erkkila of Perfect Settings. www.perfectsettings.co.nz Tanya's professionalism and overall organisation of both the ceremony and reception was exceptional. Hats off to Perfect Settings for a great job.
The thing that caught my attention on this shoot was the way the little details were created. Each aspect was conceived and designed perfectly. From the place names on the tables to the Indian Raj style tent for the bar. The flower arrangements and the two Ice sculptures/Vodka luges were a nice touch. When I left after filming the 2nd dance, the party was in full swing and all the guests were well into it!
As with every perfect thing there is always 'one thing'. This one little issue is one I had to bring up. The flower settings on the tables were very tall. I mean Shaq tall! The biggest of them was about 6 and a half feet. That's taller that the guests standing around. Anyhow, this caused a slight problem with positioning the cameras for the speeches. Having to move the tripod every time a speaker shuffled around was not good. Usually I recommend that speeches are made from a fixed microphone so that people don't wander off, but on this occasion it was out of my control.
All in all, a very good wedding to shoot and lovely people all 'round.
Good Luck to you Olivia and Mark.
Toni.
