Teesha & Petros wedding at The Milk Station, Otaki, Wellington

Teesha & Petros doing weddings their own way at The Milk Station

Sometimes you’ve just got to lick the stamp and send it
— Daniel Riccardo

The world is a pretty messed up place atm so I’m grateful to escape the realities of it all and capture arohanui and happiness at weddings every weekend.
An early morning flight from Tāmaki Makaurau and a tiki tour drive south was food for the soul to capture Teesha & Petros wedding @the_milk_station_otaki
These guys, talented people in their own right did their wedding how they wanted. No cake, no sit down dinner. Just good drink, good people and a bloody good time. That’s what I love about this gig, we’re all different people from different back grounds, but if you’re a GC, life is good.
Finally, bit of a power bomb meeting @danielricciardo as I’m a big F1 fan, looking forward to season 3 of drive to survive, vamos smooth operators🤘🏽#davidle_nz @davidle_nz

I love putting the effort into capturing your details, it’s all part of your story and they don’t take me long, I find a lush spot of light and bing bang bong - all those things you put the effort into finding to make your day, captured in one little flatlay.
And woweee did Rebekah and Guy have the details down pat. 10,000 nieces and nephews, gifts galore, florals by my sweaty little ginger mate @wildandgingerflorals all came together on a scorcher of a day out at @sudburynz

Lauren and Ben's wedding at Sudbury, one of Wellingtons most sort after venues.

When you express your love to the Taxi driver and he passes the message on to her when he picks her up after dropping you off.
— Lauren & Ben

I’ve had this weekend circled on the calendar for a long time as it kicked off a huge triple wedding weekend. First out the taxi cab was Lauren and Ben’s wedding at a super wet morning out @sudburynz
As the classic saying goes, shit it was a good day. Working alongside some of my talented mates, having some good yarns and listening to some top notch speeches, this old boy cracked the start of the weekend on good note. Miss Manawatu and Mr PGG Wrightson you did bloody good.

Wellington wedding at the Milk Station of Dushkanka and Rakitha featured on Together Journal

After sharing a warm hot chocolate overlooking a stunning view, Raks dropped on one knee and asked the question, the rest is history!
— Dushkanka and Rakitha

Featured on Together Journal

We have always envisioned our wedding to be a mix of the two cultures we have been brought up in, both Kiwi and Sri Lankan. Although a traditional kiwi-styled ceremony, we incorporated cultural touches such as our bridesmaids wearing sarees and having a traditional Sri Lankan oil lamp ceremony and Sri Lankan dancers at the reception!
