What a day it was! We had the absolute pleasure of joining Emily and Ned for their incredible wedding in beautiful Tauranga. From the moment we met them, it was clear these two were made for each other. The joy and laughter they shared with everyone around them was infectious!

The day kicked off in the most unexpected (and fun) way — with the entire bridal party dashing into the ocean for a morning dip! Talk about a refreshing start to a wedding day! Who needs coffee when you’ve got the Pacific Ocean, right?

Their venue was a dream. With breathtaking sea views, a pristine beach, and lush green surroundings, it was a photographer’s paradise. Every corner was picture-perfect, from the soft sand underfoot to the trees swaying in the breeze, providing the perfect spots for those romantic shots.

But the absolute highlight? Without a doubt, it was when Emily took to the stage during the reception to present the most hilarious PowerPoint presentation we've ever seen! She took everyone on a journey through their relationship, sharing everything from their first messages to the most heartwarming (and laugh-out-loud) moments of their love story. It was a unique touch that had everyone smiling, laughing, and even shedding a tear or two.

A huge thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Steele for inviting us to be part of such an unforgettable day. It was truly a celebration filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime!

● Venue: Papamoa Lifesaving Club

● Caterer: Tia’s Taco
