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

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

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!
