Joel & Bridget — Hawkes Bay, NZ

Joel and Bridget’s wedding wasn’t just a wedding day, it was a whole weekend of celebrating, with friends and family travelling from Germany, the US, Australia and beyond to gather in Hawke’s Bay. Having so many people make the journey to celebrate with them was pretty special, and truly felt like a testament to just how loved these two are. The weekend kicked off with an elevated garden party dinner, setting the tone for what was to come. Then came the main event at The Old Church in Hawke’s Bay, with Alicia from Elegant & Wild bringing everything together as their day-of coordinator. It was chic, dramatic and completely beautiful, with a giant pavlova making its grand entrance as the cherry on top. And because one celebration is never quite enough, the weekend wrapped up with a poolside recovery brunch complete with picnic vibes, outdoor games and plenty of sweet, slow moments spent together.

Three days, one very loved-up couple and a whole lot of good times. Honestly, what a weekend.
