Katie & Reuben's May Wedding at The Boathouse, Riverhead
Updated: Sep 6
The Softer Light of a May Wedding
May weddings bring a different kind of light to New Zealand celebrations, softer, golden, and just a touch cooler in the air, and Katie and Reuben made the most of it for their wedding at The Boathouse in Riverhead. With a 2:30pm ceremony and full day coverage, the couple's celebration stretched from the afternoon well into the evening.
Autumn on the Water at Riverhead
Set on the water at Riverhead, this waterside venue has become a real favourite for couples wanting a relaxed, scenic backdrop without needing to travel far from the city. Katie and Reuben's day made full use of that setting, with photography running right through the afternoon ceremony and into an evening reception by the water.
For couples planning an autumn timeline here, leaving a little breathing room after the ceremony makes it easier to use the softer riverside light before everyone moves indoors. It also gives family photographs and relaxed portraits their own space without cutting into the reception.
