Wairarapa Farm wedding on Tessa and Eugene in the back blocks of Tinui

You can’t beat days like this. This is what modern weddings should be all about. The people, your people.
— Tessa & Eugene

You can’t beat days like this. This is what modern weddings should be all about. The people, your people. The boys summed it up with hearty words and beautiful emotion, even for hard working farming boys from the country. Not afraid to shed a tear and let their best mates know how they felt. And I hadn’t even got to the girls who were chippy eating, white linen wearing legends.

Tessa and Eugene, you’re bloody good, real, honest people. I love that shit aye. Your wedding was a bloody dream, Tīnui put on a stellar of a day and Simon & Heather hosted one helluva shin dig. Good people, good tucker, real up the guts photos. Tbh I don’t care for art or creative fluffy stuff, give me this all day every day.

Up to Cape Kidnappers for the Wedding of Ashleigh and Marius

Ashleigh & Ashleigh’s Hawke’s Bay wedding with a side of culture
— Ashleigh & Marius


I always love getting back up to the Bay, you’re spoilt for choice with some amazingly talented vendors who are not only ace at what they do but awesome humans too. So I know it’s going to be a banging day when @debbiepearcehair and @candicedearmakeup are on the tools!
Ashleigh & Marius wedding planning had a few hick ups along the way, the major one being a fire at their original venue. But these two were troopers and their friends and family made it a stunner. Shout out to Christine for loading me up on scallop rice in the morning too, so so good haha
PS I’ve got a busy run home to the end of the year with multi wedding weekends so if I’m a tad slower to respond to messages, that’ll be why tiger!

Gypsy & Angus Hawke's Bay Wedding at Meadowood House

Gypsy & Angus married in the forest at Meadowood House.

Your vibe attracts your tribe
— Gypsy & Angus

Meadowood House

Seems like it was only yesterday that it was the start of 2020 but now we’re in the back end of the 2022 and it just blows my mind. The way that couples and businesses have been able to adapt and be flexible since 2020 has been amazing.
Gypsy and Angus whose wedding I had to get the good lad @ryanmccauleyphoto to cover for me were amazing and trusted the process even with it being a bit of a wet one out at @meadowoodhouse it didn’t put a dampener on their day or their spirits. How good are these schnapps by my ginger bearded twin Ryan, bloody legend mate.
Enjoy the scroll and check out the shot of Gypsy in her gumboots and dress amongst the mud and water, loooove it. #davidle_nz @davidle_nz

St Georges Restaurant Wedding of Sophie and Kat featured on Together Journal

Sophie and Kat featured on Together Journal

Stalking paid off and Kat asked Sophie out on a date
— Full feature over at Together Journal

Our first look was incredibly special. Kat waited for Sophie to be lead across the road by her twin- 1, 2 3 you may look! We both gasped at each other and couldn’t take our eyes off the others dress, make up and hair. Our wedding was very intimate- with just our closest people there to celebrate. The ceremony was raw and real and there was not a dry eye in sight. The vows were spoken straight from the heart and it was awesome to see everyone there that believes in us, doesn’t judge and just sees Love for Love.
