I was lucky to be both a guest and the photographer at my cousin Alex’s wedding. Every part of the day felt thoughtful and genuine. The ceremony took place at St Georges Restaurant in Havelock North, Cilla wore a stunning dress from Bridal Studio, and the flowers were beautifully arranged by Pompom Florals. Their wedding day has been published in Together Journal here.
