A cancelled flight and a flood couldn't stop me get to Kauri Bay Boomrock

“A cancelled flight, flooding and a state of emergency, just another better work story”

— Courtney & Caleb's wedding day

Kauribay Boomrock, Auckland

We can’t seem to shake this extended bad run of wet weather in Aotearoa, I’m not a fan. So when my flight for Courtney & Caleb’s wedding at Kauribay Boomrock was cancelled a hour before boarding on Friday evening I had to decide risk rebooking my flight for the next morning the day of or hitting the road and making the drive up (little did I know the flooding carnage that would be happening and the closure of the airport).

I decided to hit the road and made it in Friday night at 10.30pm - driving through flood waters and past a few hectic car crashes and once I checked in I realised how bad the extent of flooding was in Auckland. The next morning wasn’t any easier trying to get into Clevedon village, taking 3 different detours to find a semi open road that wasn’t to deep to drive through, but we made it.

Courtney & Caleb, true legends of the game dealing with plenty in the lead up to the big day. Boomrock turned it on from the afternoon and we had a stunner of an evening to dance the night away. Thanks for having me, and even the 5am Sunday morning drive back home was all worth it to capture your day.
