Fab Wedding Photos at the Red Barn
Kelly & Pete, Waikato

I Had a Whole Bunch of Fun as Kelly & Pete’s Wedding Photographer at The Red Barn – Woop! Whoop!

Kelly and Pete absolutely rock! These two are friendly, hilarious and a whole lot of fun. So, as you can imagine, their wedding day was a blast. They were married in an outdoor ceremony at The Red Barn, a wonderful Waikato wedding venue, with their five fabulous kids by their sides. I started the day with photographing Pete and the boys getting ready. Then I headed off to photograph Kelly and girls. Seeing and photographing the Bride getting ready is one of my favourite parts of a wedding day. Once she was ready, Kelly looked super stunning in her Coco & Lola dress. And you’ll see in these photos, she didn’t stop smiling all day. Pete was all smiles as well especially when Kelly arrived at their wedding escorted by her Mum and Dad. They said ‘I do’ in the company of their family and close friends, and while they signed the marriage register, Kelly’s daughter Eva sung Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’. While Kelly and Pete’s guests started celebrating, I photographed the happy couple and their kids before the sun disappeared for the day. The Red Barn is in the most spectacular setting and the views are incredible. I was in my element shooting there and Kelly and Pete worked the camera like stars. I’m stoked with these photos and so are they. Once we were back in the barn, it was party time. I was cracking up along with everyone else during the speeches. I must say I was really impressed with The Red Barn’s ‘Walk and Fork’ menu especially the vegetarian selection. Once Shabang, an 80s covers band started up, everyone was cutting up the dance floor and the party was in full swing. The team of wedding industry pros working on Kelly and Pete’s wedding were top notch. A big high five to all of them. And here they are:
