K & J’s Wedding at Brackenridge

If you’re planning a wedding at Brackenridge in the Wairarapa, you’re in for something special.

With wide open views, rolling hills, and a relaxed country feel, it’s one of the most loved venues in Martinborough - and for good reason. It’s the perfect setting for a day that feels both beautiful and easy going.

Katie and Jono’s wedding at Brackenridge was everything you hope for on a Wairarapa summer day - sunshine, blue skies, and beautiful scenery all around.

The ceremony took place outside, with friends and family gathered close. The on-site accommodation made it such a breeze to transition from getting ready to ceremony.

There was such an easy, relaxed atmosphere - the kind where laughter comes easily and smiles are everywhere you look. Watching Katie and Jono exchange vows under the open sky felt simple and true to who they are as a couple.

Afterwards, everyone came together to celebrate with good food, drinks, and stories. Katie’s dress fit her to a T, and Jono’s smile said it all - he was exactly where he wanted to be. Their happiness set the tone for the whole celebration.

For me, some of the most memorable moments were in the details. Kids racing across the lawn, friends leaning in to share a quiet word, the way Katie and Jono looked at each other when no one else was watching. These little moments are what make a wedding day unique- and capturing them is always such a privilege.

As the sun began to dip, Brackenridge gave us the most stunning golden light - the kind that makes everything feel calm and timeless. Katie and Jono took a moment together to soak it all in before heading back to the dance floor.

Brackenridge was the perfect backdrop for their day. Beautiful scenery, thoughtful details, and plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves.

Most of all, it was Katie and Jono’s joy and connection that made the day so, so special.
