Rainy wedding,Tauranga wedding photographer

Shauni and Ben got married at a Luxury Boutique Lodge in Taupo.

The ladies had a lovely relaxing morning getting their hair and make up done at the on site accommodations while the men had to get a little creative with a couple of waldrobe malfunctions at Bens mums place.

After a beautiful first look where Ben looked absolutely stoked with his bride to be, we took the bride party out for some photos and just a couple of pre ceremony bubbles.

Right as the guests converaged down at the spectacular pond to await the ceremony the skys opened up and we all huddled up under the trees and in the marquee to wait for it to pass.

The ceremony itself was such a personailised event with Shauni’s brother as celebrant for the day and borrowing a few lines from Shauni’s favourite TV show ‘Friends"

The rest of the day was spent mingling with their friends and family, enjoying some amazing food and a few other photos as the sun went down lighting up the clouds.

The dance floor was hit HARD after a first dance to “Ill be there for you” and im sure, after a few Mr Whippy breaks, lasted long into the night.

Thank you Shauni and Ben for having us along to spend the day with you xx
