Ryan + Charlotte wedding at Poppies Martinborough

View fullsize

Winter weddings in New Zealand. You get dreamy blue hour light after sunset, the skies and clear and the full woollen suits actually make sense to wear. Back at it again with another Stills + Motion collab with Sink or Surface.

Ryan + Charlotte, looking dapper, married in the tiny church that is Burnside and partied the night away at the beautiful Poppies in Martinborough.

So many goodies to share, so little time…check back for full blog post

Fried Chicken, Porsches and a wedding at Swan House

A little bunch of love at Swan House

There is a secret hidden gem right in the heart of Palmy and it happens to be part of IPU in Aokautere. Swan House was the venue for the sweetest little wedding of Aaron and Rebekah. Outdoor lounging, trays of glorious Crafted n Co Fried Chicken, and the widest, lowest Porsches you ever did see.

Great day with great people and an awesome reminder that the world is a good place!

He's a rocketman, Phil + Aimee at Wakefields Lodge

Accountants have better work stories, as a Rocketman

February is coming to an end and it’s been hectic. With me travelling all over the North Island, it was nice to get one back in my hometown. Aimee + Philip married at Roseburn PArk (formerly known as Wakefield Lodge) just on the outskirts of Palmy.

A few gnomes, a clothesline of Rosemary Beads and remembering Emily’s dog, it was a beauty of a day. A few snaps from these classy kids wedding.

The fine 9 at the Milk Station, Otaki

I finally managed to have a Friday off for the first time in the last 6 weeks and that’s because Kelsi + Cam got married on a Thursday, at the beautiful grounds and probably up there with on of my favourite venues in New Zealand, the Milk Station in Otaki.

A little mid ceremony rain, a quarter of a chippie sandwich and a bit of youtube tying tutorials, as always, this wedding was a goodie, a few quick frames from these high school swethearts big day.

Looking like a piece of art at the Dowse Museum

Wellington Anniversary weekend brought me down to the Lime Scooter capital of New Zealand Lower Hutt, specifically the Dowse Art Museum. Hannah and Mike did things their own way and caught up with guest during cocktail hour before the ceremony and married in the courtyard in the heart of the Dowse.

Good wine, great artwork and good vibes, how weddings should be.

Amaya + Joshua | Engagement

Last night I caught up with Amaya + Joshua for a little location scout for their wedding day in March and while we were at it we snuck in a little engagement shoot.

Here’s a few frames from these two cute kids, looking forward to the wedding team.
