When the bride is a wedding planner and the photographer is Erich McVey, you know the wedding is going to be impossibly beautiful. Adele and David took one look at Erich McVey’s photography and knew his soft and dreamy style would be perfect for their natural New Zealand wedding. We adore the textured greenery in Adele’s crown and bouquet. The simple styling shifted the emphasis to the beautiful and intimate moments shared between Adele and David as they became husband and wife.

The Couple:

Adele and David

The Wedding:

Black Barn Vineyards, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

The Inspiration:

I do wedding planning on the side, so when it came to my wedding, I knew I wanted my wedding to look as natural and simple as possible and I knew just the place.

I wanted my photos to look soft and dreamy. So we went with Erich McVey, a gifted man, very talented and very passionate about what he does. He is a professional. A rare find. And his lovely wife! Oh, she is just so adorable! If you’ve met her you would know what I meant, it’s impossible not to love her. They are such a lovely couple and just people you feel genuinely privileged to have met.

The Moments:

Holding David’s hands at the altar, it was just him and I in that moment. We read our vows in Korean and I think my voice was trembling and only David could make out what I wanted to say which made it even more special. We were with everyone, and yet we were alone; it was like singing lovers secret song that others didn’t understand.

The Couple Recommends:

My wedding photographer, Erich McVey — I go through my wedding photos regularly and I am so amazed how beautiful we look in the photos every time we see those photos. He is just too talented!

I must say that my hair stylist, make up stylist and florist trio was just perfect. They were so lovely, down-to-Earth and easy going yet so perfectly professional. I’ve received so many compliments on their work, especially the table setting that my florist did. They are a blissful bunch.
