Once upon a time (aka March 2025), a wedding turned into a full-blown festival at Backpaddock Lakes… 😎😆 Approximately 110 legends rolled in from all over Aussie to Queenstown & absolutely took over the place for a 4 day wedding weekend! We’re talking a full glamping village set up by the incredible @nomadic_nz tents, and of course they were able to enjoy our cabins & villa too 🏡 There were bouncy castles, food trucks, coffee carts, Wakeboarding on the cable park and our boating lake, wine tastings with the amazing neighbors @junction.wines 🍷 Honestly, weddings like this hit different - we LOVE seeing couples go all out and turn it into an unforgettable weekend with their favorite people 🤍🍻🥂🚤 What an absolute vision from these two and their friends 😎🤣🤵‍♂️ @hawpa1 & 👰‍♀️@lari_qtnz Venue @backpaddocklakes Glamping @nomadic_nz Celebrant @yourbigdayqt Dress @tikkistudio Flowers @foragedandfound Video @camrpowell Suits @barkersclothing Hair & MUA @marblefox.beauty Hire @eventhirechb Catering @ginas_truck & @charlottes.oven Sounds @graysound_nz @charlotterowlandsphotography #backpaddocklakes #weddingvenue #hawkesbayweddings #weddingfestival #nzvenue

1 year ago ❤️ Toyah & Regan 🥂🍻✨ A lakeside ceremony, the boys arriving by boat, the girls in the Beale truck convoy, a quiet first look by the wetlands and their beautiful girls beside them (including tiny Daisy in her baby Crocs 🥹). Their first family dance was the sweetest start to a big night on the dance floor. So grateful I got to be there to capture it all🤍 📸Photographer: @charlotterowlandsphotography Venue: @backpaddocklakes Transport: @bealetrucking 😎👌 Florist: @foragedandfound Celebrant: @graceherbertweddingcelebrant Dress: @bridal_studio Bar: @georgeandcoevents Hair: @amyrose_hair Makeup: @megan.makeup_artist Cake: rubylicious_cakesnz DJ: @myk_peretini Suits: @farmersnz @toyahharding #CHBphotographer #hawkesbayphotographer #weddingphotographer #NZWeddings nzweddingphotographer

Toyah & Regan 🥂🍻✨ As the end of the year rolls in, I’ve been looking back at some favourite moments… and this Backpaddock Lakes wedding is definitely one of them!

Their first family dance was the sweetest start to a big night on the dance floor.
