Kapiti Coast Wedding | Anam Cara Gardens

Tayla & Jared

I had the pleasure of capturing Tayla and Jared’s special day at the idyllic Anam Cara Gardens in Ōtaki — a stunning, heartfelt wedding surrounded by lush gardens, rustic charm, and a genuine sense of connection.

A Day with Family, Love & Garden Magic

Their wedding was a relaxed and joyful gathering — the perfect chance for their families to meet, reconnect, and celebrate how much they value each other. Held at the beautifully manicured Anam Cara Gardens, the venue’s romantic atmosphere and intimate layout provided both charm and serenity throughout the day. Adding a playful twist, Tayla and Jared gave their guests wedding favours that doubled as lotto tickets and name cards — a creative and fun detail that had everyone smiling and hoping for a little extra luck to take home.

Why This Wedding Stood Out

An authentic connection: playful, loving, and deeply personal
Scenic venue: graceful gardens and natural beauty made every moment feel cinematic
Thoughtful details: from lotto ticket favours to the heartfelt atmosphere, every touch reflected who they are as a couple
For couples seeking Kapiti Coast wedding inspiration, Tayla and Jared’s celebration at Anam Cara Gardens is a beautiful reminder that when personal stories meet a stunning setting and thoughtful details, the result is truly magical.
