This was one of those weddings where you just HAD to be there 😊

Emily and Cam celebrated their big day on their family property with love, loads of laughter and the warm company of friends and family.

What an epic day!

This will go down as one of the country's greatest trilogies!
It was an honor and privilege to be able to capture Pack The Park 2024.

A privilege because I get to rub shoulders with some truly incredible people and I get to see and meet some of the rugby greats I grew up watching like Piri Weepu, Jason Eaton, Chris Masoe, Sam Cane, Milsy and even the great Joe Parker!

An honor because:
1. I got to witness the manaakitanga (kindness) of the Southland community. The "call to arms" for the Southland Charity Hospital is like nothing I have ever seen. This hospital can and will change lives because of the power of our COMMUNITY.
2. I got a front row seat to the great story of Blair Vining’s Epic Journey. And I will always be here for it.

"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in."

Get you a bridal party that WANTS to take funny photos.

Funny wedding photos are a brilliant way to ease some tension and keep everyone relaxed with some positive dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins pumping through the brain!

I'm all for fun wedding photos! After all, we only live once. So why not?

Throwback to that one time that I called Fred "Jeff" in front of their entire wedding party, and Fred instantly yelled, "MY NAMEA JEFF!"

I will forever be thankful to Fred for IMMEDIATELY pulling me out of that pit of shame I dug for myself 🥵🥵🥵
What🤌a🤌guy🤌

Kia ora i te Meta/Facebook whānau.

Ae Yes, I am re-branding.
Ae Yes, I'm still filming weddings.
Kao No, Tiaki is my middle name.

To put it simply, I grew out of We The Collective. I felt
like it no longer served who I was as a creative person
or reflected what my creativity has evolved into.
However, I'm grateful for how the name shaped me
and blazed this creative trail that I'm on.

So Tiaki Creative, it is - nau mai haere mai!
Same taste, different wrapper 😘🍫

✨️May the creative juices flow in your favor✨️

NICK + PAIGE

This day, in Nick's words, was absolute "maaagic". Literally.
From the top of Mt Maury, to sailing on Faith, all the way back to the Te Anau Rugby Club - it was all a banger! What a privilege!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Blom!
