We’ll admit it, we’ve been quite excited about this wedding for a few months now and it was well worth the wait. The perfect time of year for an island getaway – we definately weren’t sad that we missed out on all the rain and cold in Auckland!!
Esera & Lorna’s beautiful wedding took place at Sa’Moana Resort on the island of Upolo in Samoa. Esera is from Samoa, and it was great to gain an insight into his culture along with Lorna’s family and many guests that had travelled far and wide (including ourselves!) to share in their special day.
Sa’Moana was the perfect location and we were spoilt for choice with photo locations, ranging from the volcanic rock, to sand amongst coconut palms, and eventually heading out the back of the resort to a tropical Japanese type garden. Throughout the wedding and celebrations we were treated to a number of Samoan traditions which was great. A huge thank you to Esera & Lorna for allowing us to share in their day and the opportunity to travel with them (even on the same flight out!)
It was our first time to Samoa and we had a whole lot of fun. We took the opportunity for some much needed R&R at Sinalei Reef Resort and and to finish our week with their gorgeous wedding really was special. We had a hard time narrowing it down for the blog – but here is a taste of Samoa! Enjoy!
The first image is the beautiful beach in front of Sa’Moana at low tide. Unfortunately the tide was fully in during & after the wedding and we couldn’t get down in between the rocks, but I’ve included this image to set the scene a bit
