"Other than the fact living in the Cook Islands is full of beautiful beaches and lush mountains - it is our home, our families, our support, our culture. Our whole lives being here is all we've known.”

Jo + Tom married 1 year ago today.
1 year ago today is also the last wedding I shot due to the borders closing to a little covid free rock.
Looking back It was such a beautiful day with a tinge of sadness because some family including Jo's Mum's flights were cancelled.
How could we ever forsee what the chaos and grief covid would create globally. So here is a happy anniversary to Jo + Tom who were able to marry where their hearts desired.
Surreal times.
