Samoan Wedding

Junior and Tai celebrated their wedding with a heartfelt ceremony at Ōtara Samoan Methodist Church, surrounded by the love and support of their aiga, friends, and church community. The service was filled with powerful moments of worship, prayer, and deep emotion—a beautiful beginning to their life together.

After the ceremony, the bridal party headed to the Auckland Botanic Gardens, where lush greenery and colourful blooms created the perfect backdrop for timeless wedding portraits. The peaceful setting offered a quiet moment to reflect and capture the joy of the day.

The celebration continued at Malaeola Community Centre, where the evening came alive with laughter, music, traditional performances, and incredible food. With vibrant décor, heartfelt speeches, and the joyful presence of so many loved ones, Junior and Tai’s wedding was a true celebration of faith, family, and love—full of meaning, culture, and unforgettable memories.

Gray and I absolutely love filming the splendor of a cultural wedding.  We are so lucky in New Zealand to have such a melting pot of rich culture to explore, each with their own special traditions and beliefs.  At the Tongan and Samoan weddings, I’m always blown away by all the beautiful cakes (they never seem to have a “videographer cake” though, LOL) and for this wedding, there was so much dancing, Junior and Tai were never sitting down for long!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Suemai! xx
