I was fortunate enough to start off this wedding season capturing my cousin Alex and his then fiance Ririra’s wedding in Otorohanga. This was a new experience for me as the wedding started with a powhiri to welcome all families to the Marae. It was an amazing experience to be a part of this momentous occasion and to capture as many moments as I could. This was not a typical wedding in that it was a wedding of two communities that came together and worked so hard to make this day so special for Alex and Riria. This wedding was not purchased with money but it was showered with love from so many members of this wonderful community. It really was a priviledge to be a part of. 😀
