Bess and Xiao's May Wedding at Kauri Bay
Updated: Aug 29
A May Afternoon at Kauri Bay
Bess and Xiao were married on a May afternoon at Kauri Bay Boomrock, one of Auckland's most sought after wedding venues, known for its coastal views and easy blend of garden and waterfront settings. The day ran from mid afternoon into the evening, with coverage carrying through from the ceremony hours right up until the last of the dancing.
Why Shoulder Season Suits This Venue
May weddings in Auckland carry their own kind of light, softer and lower through the afternoon than the height of summer, and Kauri Bay's outlook over the water made the most of it. By the time evening set in, the venue's own lighting took over for the reception, giving the second half of the day a warmer, more intimate feel than the ceremony hours. It's part of why the venue stays such a popular choice for Auckland weddings year round, autumn and winter dates included, not just peak summer.
Considering a Kauri Bay Wedding?
If you're weighing up Kauri Bay Boomrock for your own wedding, Bess and Xiao's day is a good example of what a shoulder season ceremony here can look like, open coastal light for the ceremony and portraits, then a shift into a softer evening glow once the reception gets underway. If you're planning an Auckland wedding photography or videography, we'd love to hear from you.
