When Lee and Dwight told me about what they had planned for their day, I almost pinched myself. It’s not every wedding I get to photograph lion dancers before the tea ceremony, an open air dance floor under the stars, and a massive sparkler exit. They married at Montrose berry farm, the most delightfully sweet venue…
Danielle and Marc got married and Fiji showed them every colour under the sun. It’s no secret I’m all over natural light like it’s my best friend, but in this case, given the epic surroundings, I decided to try and use this blog post to show what natural light can do. There is no off…
Beautiful shots. Beautiful couple (he kind looks like James Van der Beek – or is it just me?) Beautiful location. All around wonderful stuff here!
Beautiful shots! I love the wide vertical of them walking away.
Such lovely portraits in gorgeous light. Really nice work, Mary!
Wow Mary! Just beautiful! Love them all.
that first shot is incredible! love your black and whites and your use of flare.
Insane portraits! And your B/Ws are fantastic.
Oh Mary, I could look at these again and again, what utterly stunning images. I love the ones of the newly weds by the sea, breath taking – and how you captured the intimate moments between them – the glance they exchanged at the alter – just ever so beautiful xxxx
Geez! That is just over-the-top beauty right there! Wow!
She is GORGEOUS! What fantastic portraits. Really, really stellar work!
Wow. Amazing shots of them by the sea. This is one for the mad props thread!
Love the portraits by the sea, those are brilliant. And what colours! I need to go there!
Wow, Fiji. Great locale, and you used it wonderfully. The bride was beautiful. More than that, though, you caught some amazing moments. That shot with dad looking on will be treasured.
These are all so beautiful and romantic. Well done!
I adore these! What a beautiful day. 🙂
Wow Mary, these are so incredible!! What a gorgeous bride…I love the way you used your surroundings to frame their love for each other. Soooooooo goooooood!!!
So many amazing shots! Love that she didn’t mind getting her dress wet.
MARY!!!!! These are outstanding! Such a beautiful couple, amazing location, creative shots that use light in so many different ways…Just lovely. (!!!!!)

Hi Mary, love your work.
Regards.
So I started listing my favourites… and then realised there is no point really as all of them are so good! Those starting from number 26 are simply amazing! ALL of them.
Wow, what an amazing series. The way you started this post is jaw dropping
Beautiful photos. Love the fact that you only used natural light. That really preserves the genuine atmosphere. Invaluable memories!
These photographs are amazing. The tone is amazing, they all tell a great story and look so natural. Great work
How do I start writing about this wedding? This wedding where the clients pretty much let me have free creative rein – which is such an honor considering that it was their wedding day – this wedding that I photographed in the Mamanuca islands off the coast of Fiji, this wedding with just 17 guests,…
The first one looks so gorgeous. Like they are in the middle of their own little paradise. Love it.
These are all stunning but that first one is especially captivating. Beautiful work!
These are so magical. I really love the first one!
Wow, these are stunning. The first one definitely looks like it fell out of a dream.
Wow, that first photo blew me away. Beautiful!
Dang Mary. They’re all awesome.
Oh my gosh, the light. You make it look like a paradise. These are so beautiful!
I’m looking forward to the full post! Preview is stunning
Browser. Crashed.
Wow. That first shot is breathtaking.
Woo! So romantic!
oh wow. these are seriously awesome.
Truly beautiful! That first image is just, crazyyy good!
these are incredible!
Holy shit this is going to be awesome. Well, this is awesome, but when the entire post is up it will be that…. yeah you get the idea. That first one – damn.
Mary.. these are STUNNING. I’ll be regularly stalking your blog, awaiting the rest. <3
Really beautiful photos, Fiji is the perfect spot for a wedding.
Amazing images. The work of a truly original and artistic photographer. I am massively impressed.
I love this wedding. SO much. One of my faves is Dwight spinning Lee on the dancefloor, and the shot is out of focus. I love it. Gorgeous work, all of it. x
Mary, your photos are incredible! Always something special in every frame and all so unique! Nice work.
Thanks so much Victoria and Bec 🙂
just amazing. great coverage and great couple.
Some crazy moments captured. And just amazing night atmosphere.
These are outstanding, you nailed every stage of the day. Too many great photos to list them all but particular favourites are the silhouette of them framed in the door, the one of the girl spinning in the hallway, and my absolute favourite the black and white group shot just as they are getting themselves in position, perfect moment.
These are absolutely beautiful. What a stunning wedding!!!
Wow – what a wedding story! Soooo many beautiful details and some stunning portraits thrown in there too! Good job Mary 🙂
Love those portraits in the trees!
I can hardly stand all the cute kiddos and that baby! Love the dragon candids of the kids… Such a wonderful wedding, so well done!
Awesome frames!!
What an epic day! And you’ve captured it all perfectly
Mary, these are so pretty! I adore this couple and…dragon! So much fun to look throughout these.
Love the bride portraits and the boy singing into the hairbrush – fab photos.
So wicked. Also wicked was seeing you and Sam in Wellington! Such a fun afternoon. Until next time!
Great groomsmen tradition! The emotions are very well captured in this photo collection!
