Jen & Nick

 

Jen began her special day at her bridesmaid’s home in Cambridge, surrounded by love and excitement. In a touching moment, her daughter placed the veil on her mum’s head, making for a truly special memory. Jen also shared heartfelt first looks with her dad and brother.

The ceremony took place at the breathtaking Maungakawa Reserve, a location dear to Nick and Jen, offering sweeping views over Cambridge. Jen made a memorable entrance in style, arriving in Nick’s prized Honda Pioneer side-by-side; a vehicle that later featured in some adventurous newlywed photos, both in and on top of it!


After the ceremony, the couple spent time soaking in the scenery with their friends and family; sharing drinks, playing games, and capturing joyful group photos, before we made our way to Cambridge Town Hall for more portraits. With ANZAC Day just a day away, the Cambridge Brass Band happened to be rehearsing inside and, in a delightful twist, invited us in for some photos; an unexpected but joyful moment.


I then left the happy couple to enjoy their intimate reception at Onyx Restaurant in the heart of Cambridge.
