For I have a brand new blog, and here it is:
www.sineadjenkins.com/blog
Blogger has served me well over the last couple of years, but the time has come for my blog to be a bit more glamourous, more in keeping with its owner (joke). Please update your bookmarks, and RSS feeds and whatnot. I promise to blog more on the new blog too. Honest!

Kim and Steve's Wedding
Hello there! I'm back with some images from Kim and Steve's wedding in Becks, Central Otago this month (not photographs of me or the barn as per my mum's request!) March has been very very busy for me so next month I'm going to catch up on blogging and also update everyone back home on my news.
When I turned up to the hotel that Kim was getting ready in the morning of the wedding, I was SO excited to see it was like a mixture of an old wooden balconied wild west hotel, and also a fancy country lodge. I could have stayed and photographed Kim getting ready all day but she did have to leave at some point to get married. Here are her wedding shoes, which says a lot about what an outgoing, happy and fun person Kim is:
Looking radient!
Kim's mum couldn't decide which shoes to wear, so she brought three pairs with her on the day. She works in a shoe shop!
Kim and her dress. I love it when brides wear something they feel fabulous in and then really make the most of it for the day - how often are you going to look this good?
So of course this was Steve's expression when he first saw his wife to be:
Kim half crying half laughing during her vows:
Married!!
The guys...
A photograph at the old sign for Steve's family's farm:
Well done to everyone who held it together for Kim's dad's speech!
The cake cutting was outside after dark, so I employed some extra lighting - here is the complicated photography lighting setup below:
Not only did they have a really relaxed, happy and beautiful country wedding, but Kim and Steve also had what I would consider a dream honeymoon. Steve set up a holiday spot for him and Kim which involved moving a hut to somewhere in the Hawkdon (sp?) range, filling it with wine and food and a coal range, building a verandah (!!) and then surprising Kim with a week's honeymoon there. Seriously. Oh, and they also MADE eachother's wedding rings, as in - buying some gold and diamonds, and making rings for eachother. And look how amazing they are!!
As you can tell, I'm more than impressed. Thank you both for being so happy and full of life all day, and to your family and wedding party for being so agreeable and welcoming. Speak soon! xx

Amy & Bernard's Wedding
Oooh, I haven't blogged in a while - thats because March is a very busy month for me workwise and homewise. Last week we sanded the walls of the barn conversion and painted inside. I spent 12 hours painting on Thursday! More on that soon...
Amy and Bernard got married just over a week ago in the herb garden at the botanical gardens in town. Their reception was in Port Chalmers, so we had loads of cool spots for photographs. Here are a few from the day for now...
Getting married at the herb garden means you have a nice walk along the elegant pathway before you get married.
Amy and Bernard very excited to see eachother as her dad walks away in the foreground:
They didn't stop smiling the whole time.
A moment whilst their witnesses sign the register.
We found this great old green garage for group photographs in Port Chalmers. I love green backgrounds! And the rustier the better.
Arriving at the reception:
Bernards mum did a really lovely speech:
Catering was done by Bede Beaumont catering and the food was really tasty. The highlight was this dessert display which was fantastic!
Witnessing the dessert display for the first time(!)
Amy and Bernard were such gracious, lovely people to work with and took great care of us all day. Thank you guys. Hope these few little images keep you going until you see your whole gallery. Speak to you soon xxx
