Kia ora e te iwi,

What a beautiful day it was celebrating our kaumātua, our treasured taonga of our iwi. The Kaumātua Ball was a chance to honour them, celebrate them, and simply enjoy being together.

It was a privilege to capture the magic of the day, the laughter shared between old friends, the joy on the dance floor, and the beautiful moments that remind us just how special our kaumātua are.

A special thank you to Traci Tuimaseve and whānau for the time, dedication, and aroha poured into making this event possible. Your efforts helped create a truly memorable celebration for our kaumātua and their whānau.

📸 The Kaumātua Ball photos are now ready to view and download. To download your photos, you'll be asked to enter your email address before accessing the gallery.
