Kerryn + Aaron – Tauranga Wedding Photographer

charmainemarinkovich — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:59:07 +0000

Kerryn + Aaron celebrated their special day at the Elms in Tauranga on a beautiful sunny day. We started with some nice photos at the Elms then headed to the beautiful rose garden over looking the Tauranga Harbour and finishing at the Mount Beach.

Fran + Andrew – Tauranga Wedding Photographer

charmainemarinkovich — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:55:45 +0000

The day before Fran + Andrews wedding I was planning for a very rainy day – there were flood warnings and my Dad called to say its going to be very very bad weather.
So I went and brought more umbrellas, more batteries and planned some indoor settings for the Bridal Party photos. It rained all night but the day of their wedding I woke to silence, no rain ahhhh. On the way to Taupo, yes there was a bit of flooding, but we couldn’t have asked for a better day for photography – overcast. As the day progressed the sun began to shine.
Fran + Andrew had their photos prior to getting married, which made for a relaxing session. They both looked wonderful and we created some beautiful imagery for them.
Enjoy.

WIN a family holiday – Tauranga Portrait Photographer

charmainemarinkovich — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:22:07 +0000

Wooohooo, I am super super excited right now!

At the end of last year I decided I wanted to give something away to my 2011 clients – because without my lovely clients, I would not have the business I have today, which means soooo much to me.
So after a lot of thinking, searching, more thinking and more searching I decided I would give one lucky family of four a HOLIDAY!!! I really wish I could give everyone a holiday, however my budget just won’t stretch that far :-)
I felt a family holiday was the ideal prize, as it will give you more time to spend with the people who are the most important in your life – YOUR FAMILY!
If you have been thinking of having your family portrait taken for sometime now, then there is no time like the present. Don’t let another year go by – your children will change so much in just 12 months.

To book your next family portrait call the studio on 577 9000

Alisha + Cale – Whangamata Wedding

charmainemarinkovich — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 00:25:26 +0000

Holidays are over and weddings are all go. To start things off for the new year we had the absolute pleasure of photographing Alisha + Cales wedding in Whangamata. They were blessed with a beautiful sunny day which meant they were all set to share their love with family + friends in a gorgeous reserve on the waters edge. After spending some time with the bridal party just out of Whangamata we headed back to Alisha’s family home to enjoy a beautiful marquee reception.
We really enjoyed being apart of their day and enjoyed creating some beautiful imagery just for them.

Need a little pick-me-up

charmainemarinkovich — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 00:32:12 +0000

If you are wanting to treat yourself with a facial, massage or you are planning your wedding and are on the look out for a great make up artist then Chrissy Arnold from ‘Fairy Fingers’ is your girl. I had the pleasure of enjoying a very relaxing facial a couple of weeks ago and I am just about ready for another. Chrissy has done the make up for many of my brides and what a wonderful job she does, she is also one of the nicest people you will meet. So if you need a little pick me up during winter give Chrissy a call on 027 4827 555. She offers both a salon & mobile service.
