“The winter wedding of Lily and Josh at Makoura Lodge”

— David Le Photography

Winter treats us to some bloody delicious light but with that the odds of a bit of stormy rain and wind also increase. But lucky for us we had the sketchy stormy weather in the morning and it cleared perfectly as the ceremony rolled around for Lily + Josh.

Quality people, with quality vendors, few juicy snaps from the weekend

Authentic, chilled, fun and an all round lovely guy that we have had the pleasure to get to know via good ol’ Instagram. We think David’s style of documentary journalism with a little bit of creative portraiture is pure magic.

The Paper Gazelle Wedding Series

Katie + Christen, Queenstown New Zealand

It has been a whirlwind couple of months not only in New Zealand but around the world. But for little old New Zealand we managed to get through covid-19 and post lockdown we were free again to get out and about around the country. And what a awesome way to dust of the tools then fly down to Queenstown and capture some post wedding goodness for Katie and Christen.

Here’s a little stop motion recap and a few snaps from our time down south. Thanks to Jay from The Paper Gazelle, Anna from The Wild Flower Wellington and Jessie from Cameron Jewellers for supplying some wedding accessory goodness!!

Friday weddings are a dream scenario during summer as it gives me the weekend to chill with the fam. Even better still is when you do a Friday wedding and you’re just a bunch of good chill people and you have the best vendors involved to make it run like a dream.
