“One of the Berriskuxx weddings, where #andimethermitch”

— Andrea & Mitchell

Another stunning spring wedding for September at Rose & Smith, makes the long season ahead exciting when I get to be involved with beautiful wedding days like Andrea & Mitchell’s.

These two were Berriskuxx as they say in the wedding game. Andrea & Mitchell, bloody good people surrounded by a good time crew. With a game winning spreadsheet, Andrea sorted all the planning pre wedding day which meant her, Mitchell and the rest of the crew could get on with enjoying the day unfold in front of them. Always a pleasure never a chore.

“The best homemade cookies, a Freddo Frog and Flying Emirates”

— Danielle & Jono

It’s starting to come to the end of my wedding season and makes the long season easy capturing beautiful wedding days like Danielle & Jono’s. Whenever Sarah from Horrobin & Hodge is involved we know the florals are always going to be amazing, with bright pops of the autumn colours flowing throughout the day.

And I can never complain when I’m sent home with a box of fresh homebaked cookies made by Danielle, they were literally the best. Checkout their beautiful day and the amazing vendors below.

“Married on the back 9, on a wet and humid Manawatu day with old Daddy Dave”

— Kate & James

After a wild weekend mission up to the a flooded Auckland I was back shooting a double in the mighty Manawatu. Palmy turned on the humidity to 100%, mixed in with plenty heavy downpours all wrapped in the beautiful wedding of Kate and James on held on the back nine of the Manawatu Golf Course and the family Tennis court.

Bright bold splash of this years colour of the year Magenta, plenty of lush greenery and topped off with top tier wedding vendor talent in Shaun Preston, Veronica Jayne, Sweet & Tonic, Lucy Willoughby and Boatshed Catering feeding the troops.

The rain did not dampen the spirits, the morale was high and old Daddy Dave approved, check out the snaps below!
