Where to Make Special Memories
An important part of a successful wedding is the capturing of memories in timeless photographs. Picking a great photographer is important, so is choosing the right spots as a backdrop.
Tui Hills is blessed by a location that allows couples to get stunning photos around the venue, or travel just a few minutes to get immersed in the stunning scenery of the wild west coast. Here are four of the favourite photo spots from recent weddings:
The Secluded Fountain
Just a few feet from the ceremony area, down a white shell path you’ll find our fountain, in a cozy glade that gives the effect of being deep in the native bush. That’s just one o many spots around the grounds. (Photo: Sarah Weber)
Pukematekeo Lookout
The lookout is one of the most popular settings for photographs because of its clear space for group shots, elevation and handy location around the corner from Tui Hills. There’s even a trig station for a prop.
Bethells Beach
About 15 minutes from drive from Tui Hills, Bethells offers some stunning settings on the sand, in the sand dunes and near the green-topped cliffs. Amazing textures, with that wild look. (photo: Fay Carey)
A Big Surprise
Just down the road from Tui Hills, Te Henga Road Quarry provides a series of textures, backdrops and elevations that can create a range of beautiful scenic shots. (photo: Fay Carey)

Don’t Stress The Small Stuff
No matter how well you've planned, as the wedding draws near it's easy to get caught up in those tiny little details such as cake toppers, favours, the music playlist and much, much more.
The big mistake is to get wrapped up in the small stuff which can ruin your big day, if you let it.
Delegate, Delegate, Delegate
You've heard the old saying : "it takes a village". It was never more true than with organising a wedding.
So you don't get consumed by all the work, learn early how to delegate, and don't be shy about it. Your nearest and dearest will want to help.
De-stress With Fake Deadlines
When organising a wedding, time is rarely your friend. The biggest danger is that close to the date of the wedding you'll suddenly realise you have a million decisions to make, and things to organise, but time is fast running out. Use fake deadlines so you don't have to go to panic stations.
