Carina & James

Tauranga wedding film

An intimate wedding near Tauranga, set in a lush green forest.

The place

James got ready at Trinity Wharf on the Tauranga waterfront, while Carina got ready at her parents’ house. They met at Omahanui, a green, sheltered forest venue that feels a world away from the city, even though it’s only a short drive from Tauranga: tall trees, ferns everywhere and the sound of the stream beside the ceremony.

The day

With their closest friends and family gathered under the canopy, it was a quiet, emotional ceremony that meant everything to the people there.

The rain fell softly through the trees, and it turned out to be the perfect backdrop. The two of them wandered the forest paths together, completely unbothered by the weather.
