Livi & Oliver’s day at L’Orangerie in Tauranga was full of thoughtful details, garden beauty, and a whole lot of heart. From the lush blooms to the laid-back energy, every part of it felt like them. It’s always an honour to photograph weddings like this and even more special when it’s recognised by others. Their day has been featured in Together Journal, which you can read here.
