Teri and David's winter wedding at Tarureka Estate

David and Teri saying I do at Tarureka Estate in the Grove.

A week of wild Wellington weather and a Powercut couldn’t of scripted it any better
— David & Teri


It’s been a whole year since I’ve been back to @tarurekaestate and what a stunner of a day to back to it. David and Teri, super lovely, ridiculously chilled, authentic people who added their sweet small details and pops of colour. With a week of hellishly typical Wellington weather in the build up to the big dance we scored a stunner of a bluebird day. Working with a bunch of my Welly and Wairarapa faves and topped off with some super lush florals by @the_wild_flower_wgtn - check out some snaps and how good are David’s boots, damn boy they some spicy shoes!!!

Family Studio Portraits with Wild & Ginger and The Wild Flower Wellington

Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini, My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, as it was not individual success but success of a collective
— Thank you

Recently I had the pleasure of opening up two portrait studio dates in Wellington and Palmerston North due to have a couple of weekends come up available due to wedding postponements. What a whirlwind couple of weekends they were, catching up with past wedding couples and their growing little families and meeting new faces too.

Big shout out to Toni Larsen for the use of her beautiful studio space and to the legends Anna from The Wildflower Wellington and Elle from Wild & Ginger Florals for the amazing floral installations they created for both studio dates.

And finally a big shout out to everyone who came to our Wellington and Palmy studio sittings, really appreciate the aroha and support and maybe one day I’ll do this all over again, for now, here’s a bucnh of beautiful snaps of a bunch of beautiful people.
