hawkes bay - available new zealand wideRuby and Chris’s wedding day was steeped in style and intention. Set in the heart of Hastings’ iconic Tribune precinct, The Atrium offered the perfect backdrop for both their ceremony and reception. This contemporary urban venue, with its striking blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, was brought to life by the talented team at Flock, who curated a truly bespoke guest experience. As sunlight poured through the glass rooftop, it danced across the room, casting dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that beautifully highlighted the modern architecture and delicate, romantic details throughout.
Jess and Laney’s wedding unfolded on a picture-perfect February day in Hawke’s Bay, beneath the dappled light of the vines at St Georges Restaurant in Havelock North. The morning began at Black Barn’s boutique accommodation in the Tuki Tuki Valley, where they got ready side by side. In a nod to their timeless style, they travelled in a classic E-Type Jaguar, pausing for portraits in a sun-drenched olive grove before ascending up Te Mata Peak. As evening fell, guests gathered in the courtyard for intimate, heartfelt speeches. Upstairs, the Mezzanine had been reimagined by Flock into a moody, elegant dining space, setting the tone for a long, candlelit dinner that felt both modern and deeply personal.
“We can’t recommend Natalie highly enough. She was everything we wanted from a wedding photographer and such a lovely person to be around all day, she made us feel so comfortable it was like she was an old friend. We will treasure our photos forever. Natalie captured the spirit of our wedding perfectly and there are so many fantastic moments caught on camera - she seemed to be everywhere at once, and yet never in the way. She is professional, efficient, prompt and precise. Aside from getting married, hiring her was one of the best things we did for our wedding day!
“OH MY WORD! We have just been through them. Speechless. Stunning. Can't even string sentences together.
We are so, so, so happy! You captured the day absolutely perfectly. So much fun re-living the day and all the emotion that came with it. I just love them. So candid and beautiful.”
