As photographers, we loved photographing at Ōhinetahi Gardens. The gorgeous environment and the picturesque landscape provided us with the perfect backdrop for capturing the perfect shots. The gardens offer a wide array of unique features, including an old-world charm that is hard to find anywhere else. The lush greenery, the vibrant flowers, and the serene water features make Ōhinetahi Gardens a bride’s paradise.
