Jesse and Gemma

From ‘let’s just do it’ to a beautiful autumn wedding at Persimmon Lane

Jesse and Gemma and the sweetest couple. Once they became engaged their thoughts were “why drag this out, lets just do it”! They were on the hunt to find a Tauranga wedding venue, plan a wedding that’d be beautiful in Autumn with not a lot of lead in time.

They found Persimmon Lane Wedding Venue which is just out of Tauranga and boy what a beautiful relaxed but elegant wedding venue. Stunning in Autumn too! Rochelle the owner, is a happy and accommodating host and it was lovely just being able to stay on site for their wedding photography.

They let me know they were really not into getting their photos taken, which I don’t mind and fully understand. But after a beautiful relaxed wedding ceremony, we wandered the grounds with their wedding party; the light was stunning; and before long we had it wrapped up so they could rejoin their wedding guests for mingling on the lawn before entering their reception.

Fabulous and relaxed day. Bring on Autumn Weddings I say! Thanks for having me on board – Rochelle
