Waiongana Gardens / Bowl of Brooklands / New Plymouth

Brooke and Finn - what can I say! These two were seriously good sports for a bride and groom - I love it when a couple gives me a blank brief on wedding photos, where to choose locations etc, and then trust you enough to do some crazy stuff, even when they're probably wondering what we're on! Such a lovely and genuine couple, and you could tell by the whole vibe of their wedding - it was a seriously good wedding party! And not just because they had the most amazing piano player killing it (Shaun Preston - and yes, go book him, now. He is that good.) The wedding venues were perfect - the lovely Waionanga Gardens wedding venue just outside of Waitara, Taranaki for the wedding ceremony, and then the Bowl of Brooklands, which is such an epic wedding venue, for the wedding reception. We split the difference and did the bridal couple photos in New Plymouth CBD. How stunning did Brooke look - I'm so in love with her pre-ceremony bridal photos!
