Tucked into the hills of Havelock North, Bre & Tom’s wedding at Highcliff Retreat felt like something out of a dream. Laid-back, sunlit, and full of heart. From the open skies to the warm company, every moment felt personal and intentional. It was a joy to document their day alongside a talented crew of vendors, with the Hawke’s Bay landscape playing the perfect backdrop.
