Hi guys,
On Friday, we headed out to Vilagrad winery to photograph Mike & Shelley’s gorgeous wedding. I love Vilagrad, it’s one of my favourite Hamilton venues to shoot at – and this time was no exception!
Shelley was worried that their daughter (and flowergirl) of 3 years age would be camera shy… no chance! In fact, she got so upset when we tried to do some shots with just Shelley & bridesmaids that we assigned Holly as her personal photographer, and they went & played on the swing!
After their ceremony, we headed down to the vineyard for some shots with the bridal party, and then finished up in the cellar – where we love to get our lighting out & really play with different ideas & looks.
We had some ideas for a few shots in the vineyard, but they really needed the late afternoon / sunset light to work best – so we suggested that we stay around & sneak out for a few shots after their meal – and it was definitely worth the wait! The lovely golden light is just so good to work with, and hits the vines perfectly 
It was an awesome day – enjoy this little peek at how the photos are looking!
Isaac & Amber

Wow, what amazing photos, they are all gorgeous but the ones taken just before the storm hit are simply spectacular. Shelley looked stunning and the photos really show that.
Wonderful shots, really looking forward to seeing the rest.

Cant wait to see the rest of the photos. Lots a love Helen and Jimmy xx

Love the fresh open portrait of you Shelley alongside the ’sepia’ etherial effect in the hallway. Stunning captures of Bella especially the one with her hippo.
Great effects in the cellars, black and white, so appropriate for your wedding, of course. Fun, laughter and love encaptured beautifully.
Thanks for your choice in photographers as with all your choices for your special day. . Your album will be very special.
It was a privilege to be there.
Thank you and much love from us.

The pictures brought a tear to my eye – so sad I couldn’t be there to celebrate with the lovely couple. Shelly and Mike both looked amazing as did little Isabella.

So sorry we weren’t able to be there , we were under several inches of snow at the time!! The pictures are beautiful and so atmospheric, Shell Bella’s already staring to look like you and obviously shined for the camera. You all look like you had an amazing day , love to you all.
