After a Hampton’s look and feel for their wedding day, Courtenay and Dave searched high and low for the perfect venue and fell in love with Te Hihi  Estate in Karaka, it’s kind of hard not to with the most picturesque grounds complete with private golf course, a lake (which was made more blue for the wedding) and llama’s! This combined with Courtenay’s super stylish talent created the most serene dining spectacular under clearest night sky. Oh and add in the Vera Wang gown, the chandeliers AND fireworks finale! All the scrumptious (oh lets add in those desserts too!) details aside, Courtenay and Dave are the most lovely couple who I have become to call my friends over the past few years after photographing their pregnancy, newborn baby girl, her first birthday and their engagement session…now we can add wedding to that list! Congratulations again Court and Dave…couldn’t be more happy for you both!
