Through the eyes of a travelling photographer
The largest wedding of the season took place this weekend. Thirty people in the bridal party. The ceremony was held in the Band Rotunda, Cornwall Park. With the reception at Ellerslie Convention Centre. Warren & Kirst were there to capture the special day.

Today was definitely a Good Friday. Met up with a handful of other photographers at Whatipu, in some rather drab conditions (as to be expected on long Easter weekends)
Another wedding this weekend, this time a church wedding at the Mt Albert Methodist Church. No flash was used for the indoor church shots, however that was no issue. The reception was held at the New Lynn bowling club, with some photos taken down at Western Springs, at sunset.

This past weekend, saw another local wedding of Jason & Helen at the Band Rotunda, Albert Park. Followed by a reception at the Mandarin Seafood Restaurant.
The record bidding jetboat, Earthrace, powered on 100% biodiesel has collided with a fishing vessel in central America. Earthrace planned to circumnagivate the world in 65 days.

Angela and Steve had a stunning wedding in the gardens of the Brigham in Whenuapai. Followed by a Monarch butterfly release, and fun photos later at the airforce base, on a P3 Orion (NZ4206). The weather and lighting were perfect, to capture those lifetime memories.

Spent a day at Motuihe Island, planting trees, and enjoying a BBQ and some sport games. Some good volunteering fun.
Kitted with Tim’s 20D and 17-55mm f2.8 IS lens and my own Sigma 120-300mm, I made the attempt to find something interesting to do. Walked along to the information centre, grabbed some brochures, and was off for a quick read. I had my eyes fixed on the Seal visit, but seemed rather expensive, and had seen some in Kaikoura, in late 2005, so wasn’t too worried about seeing them. Decided to check out the wildlife sanctuary up in Karori.
Before heading East, took a quick stroll around Frank Kitts Park, and Te Papa…
A quick 10 min bus ride (yeah Wellington is very small ;)) – and I was already there. Surprisingly the air was still.
Soon through the entrance, I met a young German couple, Daniel & Annalena (hello!) – www.dspiecker.com
Here are just a few of the birds I stumbled across:
After walking for 6 hours practically non stop, decided it was time to head back.
I was originally to fly to Blenheim for a wedding in the Marlborough Sounds, however this wedding was postponed, so still took the flight for a weekend away to see friends in Wellington. Travelling light, I left my Digital SLR equipment at home, and took a Fuji point and shoot camera instead – this led to some improvisation.

The second half of the day, met up with another photography friend, Tim Wild (www.wildphotography.co.nz)
He was kind enough to lend me use his camera gear for the weekend.
