Lavinia and Logan

Photography by Zanda Photography

On a visit to Little Palm Beach on Waiheke Island, Logan caught Lavinia by surprise when he asked the million-dollar question. "Will you marry me?" We got to chat with Lavinia about how their special day played out. —What is your favourite memory from the big day? "Watching our family and friends meet one another for the first time! It was so special to see our grandparents meet, too, as they live in different parts of the country." —What was the best wedding investment you made? "The venue! We loved the location as soon as we saw it. Everything ran seamlessly, and Bridgewater did most of the planning so we could relax on the day." —Who was your outstanding wedding vendor? "Zanda, our photographer, was amazing. She was lovely to deal with and took amazing photos. She knew exactly where the best lighting was and what would look good. She made us feel happy and relaxed, and multiple guests commented how good she was." —What is one thing you wish you had known before planning your wedding? "The small details matter less than you think they will. All that matters is marrying your person and enjoying your wedding day surrounded by friends and family. Go with the flow; stuff going wrong makes for funny stories later!" - Lavinia & Logan
