Lauren + Dougal | Kai Iwi, Wanganui

Lauren and Dougal had originally planned to get married at Omori, Lake Taupo but with covid and traffic light changes, they decided to get married on Dougal’s family property in Wanganui instead. We did a first look and all the bridal party photos at Bason Reserve amongst the stunning autumn colours. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect for an April wedding! The ceremony was in the backyard surrounded by trees and bush and they spent the rest of the afternoon playing lawn games and drinking espresso martinis. It was such a relaxed vibe and all the guests were having a great time so we ducked off quietly in a friends Landrover up the hill to catch the sunset before dinner started.
