I totally agree with everyone Kylie Cassidy photography is fantastic, reasonably priced but amazing work, I cant wait for her to come down to Christchurch in November and do my glamour photoshoot going off some of the other ones she has done. So while I cant say to you lilfatty that I can show you mine I cant since Im having it in November - but I can say that the ones I have seen have been amazing and she is super lovely to deal with. ]]> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:31:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34728&PID=1100354&title=wellingotn-peeps-can-you-recommend#1100354 <![CDATA[Wellingotn peeps, can you recommend : Ditto on recommending Kylie.

Chris & Mel McCarthy (thephoto.co.nz) are fantastic, can recommend them. I don't need to recommend Kylie, you know she is great.

In terms of accommodation the citylife and quest apartments are good value for the space you get. I've stayed twice now at the Bolton hotel suites which I think are amazing but it is probably at the wrong end of town for a socal rather than business trip. The only Quest I don't hear good thinkgs about is the one on Lambton Quay, apparently it is a mixed bag in terms of the rooms and can be quite noisy.]]> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:03:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34728&PID=1099896&title=wellingotn-peeps-can-you-recommend#1099896 <![CDATA[Wellingotn peeps, can you recommend : Esther Bunning was the Wgtn photog...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34728&PID=1099774&title=wellingotn-peeps-can-you-recommend#1099774 Author: scribe

Central Near Frank Kitz hmm The International Plaza

The Holiday Inn is new and pretty central, can't remember what street it's on but it's pretty much opposite the Train station and also Shell and Sakura (Jap restaurant) if that area rings a bell for you! And don't worry you can't hear the trains as it's like trains, train station, road, building, hotel so a fair distance!]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:42:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34728&PID=1099481&title=wellingotn-peeps-can-you-recommend#1099481 <![CDATA[Wellingotn peeps, can you recommend : oh bums, I thought my idea was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34728&PID=1099461&title=wellingotn-peeps-can-you-recommend#1099461 Author: TheKelly

Our wedding photographer was Stuart Maclaren. He had great ideas for shots that were a bit quirky and wqas great to work with. His website is maclarenphoto.co.nz . Also, a friend of my sisters has just started doing this sort of stuff, is really reasonable and you get all your shots on a cd. She did some for us when we were down recently and of the ones we've seen, they look pretty good.  If you want her details, let me know.

Have you checked out wot if.

There are the Brandon Street apartments, self-contained accommodation with 2 bedrooms.
They're located off Lambton Quay near Kirkaldies.

If your going for the weekend, most hotels have cheap deals, as welly is pretty dead on the weekend.

If your after more hotel style, James Chancellor is good, they have a good weekend rate.

Depends on if you want to be down Lambton Quay end or Courtney Place, Manner Mall.

The Duxton does a great weekend rate close to Courtney Place, there's also Central City Apartments on Dixon Street they're self contained accommodation too.

I've stayed at all of them, and they're all really comfy.

The only place I stayed that wasn't up to scratch was IBIS pretty average and my room stunk.

lilfatty, I can personally recommend Simon Hoyle of Southlight Studio in Wellington. He has done a few shots for the magazine in the past, and I've found him to be amazing. If I lived in Wellington, I'd go to him for my family photos.

Our talented magazine photographer Fiona Tomlinson does travel -- it would be worth getting in touch with her to see if she's planning to do any shoots in Wellington anytime in the near future. Her website is www.fionatomlinson.co.nz. She does the vast majority of our photography shoots for the magazine and she is wonderful, with a great manner.

Thank you for bringing this up. There is a pretty clear difference between someone posting something like, for example, "My sister has opened a new baby shop in Wellington named XYZ, go check it out!" and something like, "Can you recommend some good baby shops in Wellington?" Product reviews should be posted in our Product Review boards, but in general, recommendations -- as long as they are genuine personal opinions -- are not frowned upon.



I would like recommendations of accommodation in the central Wellington area (preferably CBD) with two bedrooms

and

A photographer in the Wellington region as I want to get both glamor shots and family photos while we are down on holiday.
