Nestled away in the heart of New Zealand, the Puketutu Island Estate stands as an enchanting backdrop for an unforgettable wedding experience. With its lush greenery and serene waters, the estate exudes a Spanish vibe, making it the perfect setting for a luxury wedding. As Auckland Wedding Photographers, we were lucky to use this gorgeous space for a styled shoot with a bunch of talent in the industry, featuring three stunning gowns from Hera Couture's new collection, perfectly complemented by the dashing Royal Rebel suits from Rembrandt.

The first star of the show was the Nora gown – an A-line masterpiece that effortlessly combined thick, floral-textured fabric with a classical A-line design. Glammed by Clarette FX, Hannah looked nothing short of regal in this gown and the Waterfall Veil. To complement her grace, the groom donned a sophisticated navy 3-piece suit from Rembrandt, creating a harmonious and timeless ensemble that embraced the essence of a Royal Rebel. Look at how stunning they are with the white Rolls Royce from Country Style Classics!

The second featured gown, the Adelaide, took elegance to new heights. Hannah transformed into a modern-day Barbie with this fluffy tulle creation, adorned with a black belt and a statement pearl black bow. The look was completed with the ethereal Loren Gloves, adding a touch of whimsy to the ensemble. Ara, the groom, stepped up to the plate with a sleek black tuxedo from Rembrandt, mirroring the sophistication and elegance of Hannah's look. As an Auckland wedding photographer, this is probably my favourite of all three looks of Hannah.

The grand finale featured the Val gown, a square-necked mermaid dress that exuded timeless beauty. What set this gown apart was the Aura Overskirt – a sheen detachable masterpiece that added an extra layer of glamour to the ensemble. The combination of Val and Aura created a show-stopping look that transcended traditional bridal boundaries, embracing the spirit of a Royal Rebel.

The final ensemble unfolds amidst an exquisite dining setup by Flock Event, adorned with captivating styling by Table Look and floral accents delicately crafted by Wild Blossom. Crowned with a cake from MilkyO sits atop the table, its soft pink and neutral tones resonating with elegance. The addition of a stack of earthy rock pieces introduces a touch of nature, seamlessly complementing the splendid orangery of Puketutu Island Estate.

As Auckland wedding photographer and videographer, we had so much fun planning and capturing this set of editorials with the joint effort of the dream team. For couples seeking a Spanish-inspired luxury wedding venue, Puketutu Island Estate is undeniably a dream come true, providing the perfect backdrop for a love story that is as unique as it is timeless.
