Joanna & Adrian - Wedding

Welcome to the wedding season....and here's an epic blog to start the season off.
A wee while ago Joanna went to her cousin's wedding in Las Vegas. Adrian house sat for her while she was away. She returned home to find that he'd been keeping busy, had repaired her letter box and cooked her a welcome home dinner.....and love was just around the corner.
Adrian and Joanna's wedding was SO beautiful - The Dunedin Club was an amazing venue and lent an air of elegance to the day.
Enjoy!

 A little family time before Joanna says "I do".

 Joanna's mum Jillian relaxing with a little music.....couldn't help but sneak a quick pic.

 Elegant ..... oh so elegant.

Say cheese....

I am just a little bit excited - well actually I'm REALLY excited. This is the very FIRST time that I've had a family travel to me to get their family portraits taken....yep, they travelled all the way from Invercargill (well they might have tied it in to a holiday in The Catlins), but still, they have officially TRAVELLED!!
Thanks Tim, Kate and Emma for bringing your smiles and giving up a morning of your holiday to come and visit me. Even though the weather wasn't the best, this trio were amazing and did a great job of looking gorgeous! You can't really tell that it was quite nippy and threatening rain for the entire session....can you?

Trying out my new logo - and I think it really suits my photography style. A huge thank you to Donna from Donna Robertson Creative for coming up with the concept and putting it all together. She's so clever. Wishing you all a relaxing long weekend - travel safely if you're heading away. I have a wedding tomorrow at the Dunedin Club - what a location! Looking forward to sharing it with you.

Down on the Farm.

It's that time of the year again on the Reid's Farm - tailing time!! Tailing lambs...it's a game the whole family can play. Jaime and Cierra have been helping out with tailing every since they were old enough to sit on the back of the quad bike. We got hardly any tailing done during the school holidays because of the weather so the girls are having a couple of days off school to help out this week. We just can't quite manage without their help. Tonight I'm feeling tired, REALLY tired, but it's that good kind of tired that means you've done a hard days work. Usually when I'm working hard I'm sitting at the computer prettying up my photos....but this is REAL hard work.  I've picked up hundreds of lambs in the last two days and they were BIG lambs, REALLY BIG lambs. You should see my muscles!!

 The Team.

 The tools of the trade.

 Waiting their turns.

 Boyd - our heading dog, looking pleased that the lambs are all in.

 Stan - our Huntaway hanging out and looking cool.

 Dog Tired!!

We couldn't do all of this without help from our furry friends.

Hope they realise how much we appreciate them, maybe a few extra dog bikkies tonight boys!!

Weddings and family portraits coming up soon. Lots of editing going on amongst the farming so plenty for you all to look forward to. 

I'm off for a long hot bath - bliss!!
