Tara in her stunning Karen Willis Holmes gown, captured beautifully by photographer David Le and filmed by Sink or Surface, with flora and styling by Amy of Oh So Pretty Styling & Design. It was a magical day spent with their nearest and dearest. Jewel toned blooms, cascading greenery and filled the candlelit tables. With lights hanging above creating a starlit sky, it was the perfect setting to dance the night way!

I don’t often get to do many weddings in Palmy so to be able to go back to back weekends in my hometown is a bloody dream scenario. This past weekend I got to hang with Josie and Leigh. I worked with Leigh before making this photog gig my full time vocation and it was great being able to hang with some familar faces and increase the banter levels by a couple of notches.

These guys did an amazing from designing and creating their own wedding stationery and signage. Their Maid of honor and groomsmen did the florals and videography and and the weather did its part too and gave us the perfect weather.

Checkout all the pinterest worthy styling from these two lovebirds!

Mark and Ellen's Dekens Barn Wedding Oakura, Taranaki

This week I travelled up the west coast along the surf highway for the wedding of Ellen and Mark. Held at one of the most sort after venues in Taranaki, Dekens Barn in Oakura. The only day of the week where it didn’t rain buckets, was just a little bit of faith. Super big party, a whole lot of fun and finally a rustic wedding where their was no hessian or jam jars in sight!

Few snaps from the big dance!
