Kicking off 2024 with a scorcher wedding day at Cape Palliser

Cape Palliser turning it on for Kelsey & Chaz wedding

Bananas, a boat race and the Ranfurly Shield. It’s a good day to be in love
— Kelsey & Chaz

Kicking off my 2024 wedding season with a stunner out at Cape Palliser for Kelsey and Chaz. Set on the stunner cliff face overlooking the coast under the Lucy Event’s clear marquee.

Teaming up on the photo and video with my old mate Sink or Surface, it’s a good day to be in love.

Rebecca & Lachie's wedding at Tarureka Estate, Wairarapa

Get to the chopper!
— Lachie & Rebecca

It’s Friday and you’re back for another episode of Dave snaps another wedding. Lachie and Becs and some classified lad antics, chats that I’ve redacted and plenty of choppers big and small making their way throughout the day.
I get asked a lot what makes a good wedding or what weddings are the best to shoot. For me it’s the people, all the GC I get to chat to and interact with. For Lachie and Becs, they surrounded themselves with plenty of GC. Pretty sure Charlotte is still locked in her room but the run home to Xmas is here, so as Arnie would say to santy, get in the chopper #davidle_nz @davidle_nz

Alice and Josh's wedding at Lacewood, Kahutara at Tuhitarata Estate

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
— Alice & Josh

Ooophf it’s been a bit of season so far and this old boy has a bit of a backlog of juicy wedding content, the old social media is a spicy beast.
Beaut of a day down in Wairarapa for local yummy honeys Alice & Josh in Kahutara. Some great chat with the friends and fam, brother Sam on the tools serving the bubbles and Dad dusting off the orange station wagon, their was no hands in pockets.
Working alongside the talents and a couple of my faves @sinkorsurface and @suzettemayflorist this was a helluva a day. Nice hard working people who like to have a good time, my guys

Perfect way to start the year at Lacewood, one of Wairarapas best wedding venues

— Lacewood,

I managed to get in a great little summer festive break and start off my 2023 with a beaut of a wedding day out at Lacewood on the outskirts of Martinborough township.

A stunning day for this private occasion, I was lucky enough to be able to share a few small details from this stunning day, working alongside the talented Auburn Photography who was on the video tools.

Dushka & Matt at the Tree Church, Turiturimuri in Martinborough

Crights & Crights with a dash of yellow
— Dushka & Matt

Martinborough Tree Church

What a whirlwind of a week after shooting 3 events in 4 days and covering nearly 2000km on the road driving. The day before Dushka and Matt’s big day I ended up doing my back and couldn’t move or stand on my own power, fast forward 12 hours, plenty of painkillers later I got to capture one of my favourite weddings this year. Dashes of colour, plenty of yellow and the owner of the Tree Church venue in Turiturimuri Felicity (and mother of the bride) brining the energy and lols all day long.

Get ready with your pinterest boards and look books, because Dushka and Matt’s wedding is a stunner!
