PATRICIA HAU not only runs one of Germany's biggest wedding blogs HOCHZEITSWAHN, but she's also an accomplished photographer in her own right. Earlier this year when the colours were at their best in the South Island, she popped over to New Zealand from her home in Sydney to do this autumnal shoot with some local vendors. Criffel Station � which looks like the most beautiful place � is the second largest deer farm on the South Island and it's beauty certainly matches up to it's size. The team built a sleeping tent as an idea for newly weds to spend their wedding night out in the great outdoors� now I'm not sure my husband would go for this but I personally can't think of anything more romantic!! I adore the use of the cosy looking shrugs with the RUE DE SEINE gowns� especially as the weather starts to cool.
