For Briony and Alex’s day we joined beach goers, paragliders and 4WD beach cruisers to enjoy New Zealand’s first long weekend of summer. Castaways Resort with its views over jagged cliffs and Karioitahi Beach provided the most spectacular backdrop for the day.

I loved seeing the nods to both the bride and grooms Scottish heritage with knot tying, a two handled loving cup and of course a couple of gentlemen in kilts.
