Tawharanui Lodge Wedding

Tawharanui Lodge Wedding

The beautiful Tam and Josh had their wedding at the wonderful Tawharanui Lodge in Matakana, New Zealand (near Auckland). The day started with some very relaxed preparations, the ceremony was so emotional and beautiful and it ended with a fantastic party!

A particularly special aspect of this Tawharanui Lodge wedding was Tam’s Mum was the celebrant. It’s so amazing that Tam and Josh were able to get married by someone so close to them!

This wedding is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t worry about rain on your wedding day! The day was absolutely perfect; in fact, the rain meant that we were able to get some unique and epic rain shots towards the end of the reception. We ended up moving the ceremony inside the marquee and it was just so beautifully stunning because we were all nice and dry but still had the beautiful trees in the background! Tawharanui Lodge is a venue with a great rainy day option for this reason.

Tam and Josh are just such wonderful people and I am so happy to be able to call them friends of mine. An image from their engagement shoot was chosen as one of the best engagement images in the world in 2017 – see this link for more details and I was so excited about the prospect of also being able to photograph their amazing wedding!

I really love Tawharanui Lodge, it’s great for weddings as it has the perfect environment for being able to get some lovely garden themed images, without having to leave your guests at all! All of the images on this blog post were taken on site at Tawharanui Lodge, literally 2 minutes from the guests. There is also the option of going to the nearby coast, which is gorgeous – if you wanted some beach images as well.

Tam and Josh, I wish you the best with your married life!
