Shana & Alon’s Joyful, Jewish-Inspired Wedding in Wanaka

Shana & Alon’s summer Jewsish inspired wedding was pure joy from beginning to end – a day filled with sunshine, meaning, and celebration.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Wanaka, the couple embraced a perfect bluebird day to say “I do,” weaving in heartfelt Jewish traditions that made the ceremony feel deeply personal and full of love. The energy was warm and welcoming, with laughter, happy tears, and the kind of connection that only comes when culture and community come together.

After the ceremony, we took a scenic trip to Lake Hawea for golden-hour portraits. The shimmering water, soaring mountains, and that just-married glow? Absolute magic.

Every detail came together to create a wedding that was heartfelt, fun, and uniquely theirs. Shana & Alon, thank you for sharing your love story.
