“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!

Sperry Tents

These are classic handmade ivory coloured sailcloth and Spruce pole tents that require no lining or frilly detailing.

The natural colour of the sailcloth reflects a warm and embracing light viewed from both inside and out. The high sides which can be covered or left open as required, provide for perfect sightlines and extended views whether standing or seated within the tent.

Bars, Bar Staff and Chillers

Every Wedding and Event we attend needs a chiller trailer (because booze, right!) and every single time it’s ugly. Sometimes it’s even uglier than ugly.

We had clients putting in a tonne of effort to create beautiful, curated events only to have a hideous, sometimes fluro chiller trailer be sitting awkwardly in the corner or, because its so ugly it has to be hidden a mile away from the event so the poor bar team have to spend the night slogging backward and forward with boxes of beers.
