A celebration of Love & Family coming together: Brooke & Liam’s Heartwarming Wedding at Backpaddock Lakes
Brooke and Liam’s wedding day was a heartfelt celebration of love, laughter, and family. The day began with emotional first looks involving Brooke’s and Liam’s grandparents, setting a family-focused tone. Brooke and Liam shared an intimate exchange of vows—a private moment filled with happy tears, holding hands as they spoke their promises.
Their creativity shone in thoughtful details, like memorial photo pins honoring absent loved ones. The rain cooperated, sprinkling only after everyone moved into the barn, where rustic charm, music, and laughter made for an unforgettable evening.
Guests enjoyed charcuterie boards, relaxed seating by Flock Events, and lively dancing, with the couple’s entrance the song "Fireball" giving shots to willing guests!
The bridal party portraits were fun with music with snacks, captured around Backpaddock Lakes' natural beauty in the willow trees around the wetlands.
Later in the evening after hilarious & heart felt speeches, Brooke & Liam embraced the weather with umbrella shots and luckily had stunning sunset portraits at Te Mata Peak earlier in the year!
Every moment reflected Brooke and Liam’s love, joy, and family-centered celebration. It was an honor to capture these cherished memories and I am so grateful to have been part of their beautiful journey.
