Looking back at the stunning winter wedding of Rosie and Jackson brings a warmth that defies the chill in the air. Set amidst the picturesque landscape of Wairarapa, the beautiful Rose & Smith at Tauherenikau provided the perfect backdrop for their special day.

The intimate candlelit ceremony was an intimate affair shared with their dearest friends and family, who basked in the cozy ambiance of the rustic venue. Every detail, from the delicate floral arrangements to the delectable seasonal menu, was carefully crafted to capture the essence of winter.

The joy and love that filled the air that day created memories that will forever warm the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to witness the beginning of Rosie and Jackson's special day.

“Such a dreamy start to our season”

— Rose & Smith

It’s saaaah good to be amongst the big big energy of weddings again. Winter still hasn’t done its dash but that hasn’t put a dampener on the wedding day vibes. I twas back at my second home @rose_and_smith for Georgia & Aiden’s schlick day.

From the boys welcoming me in with an ice cold beer to the beautifully husky ceremony by @marriedbyabbey the wedding day was amazing from start to finish. We even managed to sneak in a tiny first dance to kick off the dancefloor. Snaps on snaps of snaps, check’em out #davidle_nz @davidle_nz

Rose & Smith, one of Wellington and Wairarapa’s best wedding venues.

Another year of weddings ahead meant the annual Rose & Smith Tastings were held again. With the amount of photographers that shoot weddings at Rose & Smith I felt really fortunate to be asked to come along and shoot another R&S official event. Another day of high quality food by Dale and his team of chefs, Paula and the ladies doing the rounds helping guests choose decor and plan their big day. And the rest of the staff running a slick day and showcasing what there is to offer as one of Wellington and Wairarapa best wedding and event venues.

Check out a small snippet of the images from their recent tasting day.

Those summer light and bright vibes for Libby and Pouki’s winter wedding at Rose & Smith.

“A beautiful winter wedding at the elegant, moody and lush Rose & Smith at Tauherenikau”

— Libby & Pouki

Winter weddings are such a vibe. Libby a little fire cracker and Poukie with his fat lush lips brought light and bright and summer vibes to the always beautiful, elegant and lush surrounds of @rose_and_smith
If you rearrange the words Peaky Blinders and add and subtract a few vowels and syllables you get the words Rhythm & Vines Summer Bangers and this wedding was it minus summer and rhythm and vines. Where am I going with this yarn, who knows, but they also had summer bays finest Alf Stewart as MC and my lord stone the flaming crows there were some cracking speeches and even a group sing along.

Anna, Brian and Mac, married up in the loft at Tarureka Estate

“111,000 Lightning strikes in the lead up to their wedding day couldn’t dampen their spirits”

— Anna and Brian

Woweeee we’ve had some hectic weather to greet us for the start of winter. Plenty of rain, 100k lightning strikes and more rain. This didn’t faze Anna and Brian who always had planned for an inside wedding up in the loft at the always stunning @tarurekaestate
Mid morning Brian and I figured out we knew each from way back over 15 years ago when I was a young whipper schnapper in the print game. More often than not I always end up knowing someone somehow at each wedding I shoot. By the time the ceremony rolled around, blue skies came out to play. Little Mac did his part by being cute and the team @crescendocuisine fed the troops mighty mighty well. Only a couple more winter weddings to go but here’s 10 snaps of Anna and Brian’s beautiful day to scroll your eyes over.
