James and Cole: A Modern New Zealand Romance
Whisky and defenders, architecture and coastal farmland, this wedding shoot is New Zealand luxury at its best.
Styled Shoot By Haute Weddings NZ
Set on the hills overlooking Auckland's Muriwau beach, this inspirational shoot captures a suave, lux and celebratory scene that summarises James and Cole's love story.
"We focused on creating clean and timeless images in an architecturally delightful house, called Pairhoa, that perfectly mixes both NZ's new architecture and its farming heritage," says Julieaand Cameron of Haute Weddings. "We captured James and Cole lovingly getting ready together before sharing a whisky and heading off to their ceremony. Cake, confetti and a little champagne, and we were off around the farm in the green defender for a little adventure."

More For You
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Biltmore Estate, Michael and Tyler’s wedding was a celebration of romance, theatrical design and unapologetic individuality.
Kate and Elizabeth’s story began long before romance entered the picture. Years of friendship, a shared love of music, and coming out together laid the foundation for a relationship they celebrated in April 2026 with a wedding at The Calile in Brisbane, bringing together personal touches, thoughtful details, and a whole lot of love.
Neil and James’ story began with a dating app match in 2012 and a casual Anzac Day beer that neither could have known would lead to fourteen years together.
What began with a chance meeting on a night out in April 2024 quickly became a relationship that took Luca and Giovanni from Milan to the Aeolian Islands, where they first realised they couldn’t imagine life without each other.
