Thailand. Better late than never....

Earlier this year our family headed off to Thailand for a holiday. 

We visited Bangkok and Koh Samui and had a great time. 

A great place for a family get away.

 Our beach at sunset.

 Centara Grand Resort - a perfect place to stay. Beach out the back and shopping out the front - what more could you want?

 This guy was on the beach everyday selling corn on the cob.

 The compulsory hair braiding - I managed to get an hour long foot massage while the "Braidy Bunch" got their hair braided. One hour massage - $8.00 NZ. Bargain!!

 All this and much much more right outside our resort. The street stretched a few kilometres and was filled with Thai treasures...... and a lot of sarongs, bikinis, t-shirts, sunnies ........ over and over again.
Same.....same ..... but different.

 Our awesome travelling buddies - these guys are the best! Thanks so much for another great holiday!

 Dinner at Fisherman's Village - beautiful sunset and an amazing display of wildfire.

Koh Samui we love you and we'll be back again one day!

Loving Summer - a day at the beach.

The sun was shining so The Reid's decided to have a day off and head to beautiful Brighton Beach.

Cierra and Jaime perfected their cartwheels and handstand while Rob and I enjoyed our books.

 A lovely day in the sun!!

Happy holidays everyone!!

Lana & Trav - Married @ Orchard Gardens in Clyde

You might remember Lana and Trav from their engagement session earlier this year. here we are back in Central Otago once again to capture their wedding day. 

The rain came down and the wind blew - all in all it wasn't a good day to get married.

But....at 3 o'clock - just as the bride arrived at Orchard Gardens (one of my favourite places ever) the rain stopped and the sun almost came out. The ceremony was held inside instead of in the maze but it had dried up enough to cut the cake in the middle of the maze. So pretty. 

Dale and Wendy of Orchard Gardens have created such a gorgeous indoor area that was perfect for the reception - I think the bridal party was quite happy to be keeping warm in front of the fire.

Fun and laughter - along with a couple of sneaky tears were the order of the day and it turned out to be one of the best weddings I've been to. 

Lana and Trav are an awesome couple who love each other to bits and have loads of fun together. 

A huge thankyou to Lana and Trav and their fantastic bridal party for being so photogenic. Thanks to Central Otago for the stunning scenery and for Orchard Gardens for being such a cool place to get married. Loved this wedding so much!

Have a lovely festive season and pop back to visit the blog for more wedding loveliness in the New Year. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
