Gemma + John // Waiheke Island

It’s such a wonderful thing when two people from different countries meet and end up bringing two families together on the other side of the world. That’s exactly what happened when Gemma, hailing from the UK and John, just up the road in Northern Ireland met in New Zealand and fell in love. Rather than head back to their original part of the world, they decided it was a better idea to drag all of their farthest and dearest from the cold northern winter down to sunny and warm Waiheke Island just off the coast of Auckland in New Zealand to celebrate their nuptials.

Even though the day started off with a few squally rain showers and the wind was strong, the love and good vibes were stronger. We were all soaking up the sun and cold beverages at the spectacularly situated Batch Winery on Waiheke Island a short time later.
