Sacha and Gavin

Beach views, family moments and a laid-back celebration at Papamoa Beach

Sacha and Gavin like many couples discovered that wedding planning during the end of a pandemic not as straight forward as what suited their laid back personalities. So they did what many are discovering can be a fabulous approach for a wedding day shared with loved ones is to opt for a non fuss backyard (but also beach) wedding. They chose to rent a stunning beach house not far from my home at Papamoa Beach overlooking our Pacific Ocean away from the business of our main beaches.

It was a family affair with the kids playing ball, the dog wandering and guests chilling on the back lawn overlooking our beautiful beach. And if you look closely you’ll see how stoked Gavin is to have this beautiful lady by his side and who can blame him.

I love these wedding days with super chill people. Congrats guys. – Rochelle
