Sean and Laura

Rustic colours, country charm and a laid-back wedding at The Run in the Bay of Plenty

When Sean and Laura got in touch they were super excited as they were holding their wedding at the very new wedding venue ‘The Run’ found just out of Whakatane. Extra special for these cool cats is the farm being in the family. Being country folk their wedding was to be a day spent with friends on the farm.

No strict time frames, no organised speeches, no sit down meal, just letting things happen naturally with good kai and good friends. And boy that’s what they got. The Run was in fact still under construction but there is no doubt in my mind it’s going to become a favorite wedding venue here in the Bay of Plenty for couples looking for a relaxed country wedding venue.

Laura and Sean had an amazing chill wedding party which made their wedding photos a breeze. Laura let her girls choose their own dresses and how beautiful was the rustic colour palette. A relaxed country fun wedding through and through.

Thanks for having me on board – it was an absolute pleasure to be your wedding photographer and spending the day with you all. Oooh and the kai, SO good! – thank you, Rochelle
