It’s been a while between drinks but I’m chomping at the bit to get amongst weddings again starting this weekend with a double down south. Winter has treated me good and the work gets cranked up a few notches with a busy week ahead. To all my couples this upcoming season, can’t wait to capture your big day and my Auckland peeps, fingers crossed will see you soon too! Throwback to literally the hottest day last summer for Shannon & Hamish’s wedding blackwalnutvenue shaaanxo #stillsxmotionnz sinkorsurface davidle_nz #davidle_nz ...

You encounter plenty of curve balls as a wedding photographer and that always means you have to be able to adapt to ever changing situations. That was the case for Sarah & David’s wedding day at blackwalnutvenue

Make up ran 2 hours behind schedule, the forecasted torrential rain arrived right on cue and the ceremony had to be moved inside and pushed back an hour while we waited for the tiktoks to be completed. These two were legends though and it was fitting it rained on their wedding day as every time we planned to meet up for their engagement shoot in the lead up to the big day we had rain. Cool as cucumbers these guys were, with great friends and fam who could of all been official bridesmaids and groomsman and even David’s mum rocking her sparkly pink number after dinner.

Was great to work with the legend marriedbykelsey as always and the plan B option ceremony space in the glasshouse is a pretty mint backup. Fingers crossed we get a summer next season but for now here’s ten snaps 🫰🏽#davidle_nz davidle_nz ...

Brea and Andre asked me to get as much natural and candid photos I can, they don’t wanted poses photos and they are those kind of couples that jokes and laughs are part of the 99% of their day hahaha.

So here we go! With the first sneak peak of their wedding that was in the gorgeous venue blackwalnutvenue in Tauranga on last Saturday! .

I had so much fun and it was definitely a day full of laugh and emotion!

Their bridal party brought all the good vibes along to the photos and the day 🙌🏼.
