Gemma & Jackson’s Epic Papamoa Beach Wedding

Gemma and Jackson tied the knot in March, and their wedding was an unforgettable celebration filled with love, laughter, and epic moments. With friends and family traveling from Cambridge to Papamoa Beach, the day was packed with excitement and energy.

The day kicked off at Papamoa Beach Holiday Park (Tasman Holiday Parks), where Jackson and his crew started their morning with a refreshing swim in the warm March waters—definitely a top-notch way to begin any wedding day!

From heartfelt speeches filled with love and happy tears to a wild scavenger hunt and a high-energy Haka (with Jackson jumping in), every moment was bursting with emotion and fun. And, of course, we couldn’t miss capturing the stunning Papamoa Beach sunset—it’s a photographer’s dream backdrop.

The reception was nothing short of legendary, with a dramatic cake chomp straight off the top tier and some seriously cool moves tearing up the dance floor. Gemma and Jackson’s wedding was a true reflection of their vibrant personalities and the love they share.

Pro Tip for Engaged Couples: Choosing a venue like Papamoa Beach not only gives you incredible photo opportunities (think golden sunsets and scenic beach vibes) but also sets the tone for a relaxed, fun-filled celebration. Consider adding personal touches like games or cultural moments to make your wedding truly unique!
