On one of our free weekends, we arranged to meet up with three couples who were to be wed over the coming summer, and scope out there venues for ideas and preparation before their big day. Our first destination was the beautiful Zen Garden in Whitford, south-east Auckland. The Japanese style buildings are set amongst tranquil, 75 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens overlook Rangitoto in the distance. Here’s a few photos before the rain set in – We’re really excited to shoot our first wedding here in February 2011.
