30th September, 2023
Brie & Jono wed under a miraculously blue sky on a family property with an expansive view over Tauranga and the Mount. The forecast had been for rain all day long, but by the grace of God the rain and hail held off until the moment we finished family photos, then stopped again when we arrived at the beach for portraits! We had sunshine, blue skies, rainbows and an epic sunset that none of us could have expected, and it felt like the perfect God-wink to the start Brie & Jono’s married life.
These two have characters of absolute gold. Fun, down to earth, honest and faith filled, this day was such a great reflection of their relationship. God is central to who they are and their ceremony honoured Him in every part. It was such a joy to witness two families grounded in Christ uniting to bring Jono & Brie together. There were helping hands in every direction as the people who love them most served them to make their dream wedding happen.
Jono was under strict instructions to keep Brie off the ground during this set of photos (see their engagement session for many tackles and ankle taps hahaha), which I’m glad to report he did well on 😉 and even brought the sweetest happy tears as he watched his girl walk down the aisle. Overall, this was a dream day! I’m so honoured to have been able to document it for you, Jono & Brie. You two already have the best foundation for marriage and I can’t wait to see where God leads you in your married life together. It’s going to be an incredible ride, I just know!
