Lucy & Tom
Old Forest School – Pongakawa
Lucy & Tom’s Old Forest School wedding was an absolute celebration of good times, laughter, and unforgettable memories. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that their day was all about fun, connection, and sharing in the joy of marriage surrounded by family and friends.
Old Forest School is one of the most unique wedding venues in the Bay of Plenty. Tucked away in the countryside and surrounded by towering trees, it offers a magical setting that feels both rustic and full of character. With wide open spaces, charming historic school buildings, and plenty of activities to keep guests entertained, it is the perfect place to host a wedding that feels relaxed yet full of energy. Lucy & Tom made the most of everything the venue has to offer, and the result was a wedding day that felt authentic to who they are.
One of the things I loved most about Lucy & Tom’s Old Forest School wedding was how their personalities were stamped across every detail. From the décor choices to the way they structured the day, everything reflected their unique style. Guests were encouraged to play games, explore the property, and most importantly, just have a good time. It is impossible not to enjoy yourself at this venue, if you are not having fun at Old Forest School, you are doing something wrong.
As a Bay of Plenty wedding photographer, days like this are such a joy to document. My approach is all about capturing natural, candid moments, and Lucy & Tom’s celebration was full of them. Every laugh, every hug, every dance floor moment told the story of a couple who truly wanted their wedding to be about celebrating with the people they love.
