I never actually met Cameron and Gemma as this gorgeous elopement was entirely planned by Francie from Darling I do. November of 2021 meant we were in fairly strict restrictions due to Covid 19. Francie really excelled in creating days that were intimate and beautiful amongst a crazy world of uncertainty.

My brief for the personals: A wildly structured bouquet with a mixture of texture and bold colour that brought to life a rich contrast to the deep moody tones of Auckland’s West Coast and it’s local forest. For the Groom, an intricate floral pocket square to include colour and texture.

The other floral element was a couple of garden full floral troughs that would be placed in significant locations throughout the day.

Pia did a beautiful job in capturing this special day and I do believe was nominated for an award off the back of these beautiful images.
