Ben & Carrie

Murray Linton Rose Garden Rotorua Wedding

Murray Linton Rose Garden is a gorgeous venue for a Rotorua wedding. Ben and Carrie married there on a sunny December day and it couldn't have been more perfect. Ben got ready at a motel down the road from the rose gardens with his brother while Carrie got ready at their home with her son and Ben's daughter. Those two were super adorable!We took photos at the gorgeous Redwoods just around the corner from the gardens. To avoid the kids getting over photos, we took some quick but cute family photos. We explored the outskirts of the dog park (didn't need too many dogs saying hello to Carrie in her white dress).The reception was held at the Arawa Park which is the Rotorua Racecourse. Carrie's dad and step mum own Guthrie Bowron here in Rotorua, so they decked out the venue and it looked gorgeous! There was even a tree lit up in fairy lights (which is totally one of my favourite things).After dinner had been served, we snuck Ben and Carrie off to the lakefront for some gorgeous sunset photos. Once we were back we organised the sparkler photo, Carrie was kind of scared of walking under the sparklers but how awesome do they look! Ben and Carrie thank you so much for having me along as a guest and photographer xx VENDORS: Celebrant: Allison Jones // Dress: Bridal Gallery // Florist: Rotorua Florist // Makeup Artist: Final Touh Makeup Artistry // Hair Stylist: The Hair Lab // Suits: Hallensteins // Ceremony: Murray Linton Rose Gardens // Reception: Arawa Park Rotorua Racecourse
