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

— 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!

A look back at the best of the best 2022 New Zealand wedding photos

A little look back at the 2022 wedding season that was. Jam packed with some stunning scenery, unique style and so many good times.

Another year of 40+ weddings - that’s not tricking the figures with little elopements or 2-3hr gigs. That’s full days on the tools, all shot and edited with all of the little inbetweens done by this one man band. Weddings took me all over New Zealand from Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa, Manawatu, Wellington and I even shot down to Queenstown to end the year.

I got to hit some of my favourite venues in New Zealand, from Orlando Country, Rose & Smith, Old Forest School and plenty of marq uee goodness.

2022 threw a lot of different things at everyone, from Tiktok weirdness, vibe checks so people could do out the gate things, young whipper snappers calling people gatekeepers when they don’t want to put in the hard mahi and people taking out of focus blurry photos on film to be cool.

2023 is another hectic year with another 40+ weddings already lined up in the books. I’m looking forward to the same choice like minded normal people who keep getting me on board for the big dance.

Big shoutout and thanks to all the amazing couples, vendors and places I got to work with and see, checkout their snaps that were my 2022 wedding season.
