Drive East....Keep Going.....Almost There

We have just returned from Gisborne for the Wedding of Max and Belinda Behle. It was my first time visiting the city and boy, it's a long drive. In total I clocked up 14hrs driving and 12hrs photographing but it couldn't have been a better weekend. I met Belinda back in 2003 where we were members of the New Zealand Secondary Students Choir and toured USA and Canada. Then in 2008-2010 we were in the NZ Youth Choir and toured Asia and Australia. I was so pleased when she asked me to do here photos and travel to her hometown. It was a fantastic day, and we spent some time in the Botanic Gardens and at the home where she grew up. This location was my favourite, with the stunning view of the main valley below and the house and surrounding gardens themselves. See for yourself. Don't the two of them look just so in love.
