The sun was shining for Beka and Jared on their beautiful day out at River Ridge Retreat in the Catlins!


It have been lucky enough to do photos for these two multiple times over the years so it was very exciting to be capturing the wedding day too ā˜ŗļøJared and the guys got ready at Nugget Point before heading to the venue in a vintage car. Beka in the meantime got ready in Owaka with the girls and her dog Arlo. They had a super relaxed morning enjoying some bubbles and sunshine.


The ceremony was by the river (which the dogs found and went for a swim in as guests were arriving šŸ˜‚) They had a beautiful ceremony with family and friends watching on. Confetti poppers went off as they walked back down the aisle for hugs and congratulations.


We went out to Purakaunui Bay to get some photos by the beach. It was the perfect afternoon, warm, no wind and the ocean looked good enough to go for a quick dip in! Beka and Jared exchanged private vows overlooking the cliffs and bay - it was so perfect.


The reception was full of good speeches, laughter, the shoes game and of course some dancing! It was the best day with the best people ā¤ļø Congratulations Mr & Mrs Hall! šŸ„‚
