Wedding in Rangiroa – A Hidden Gem in French Polynesia

Wedding in Rangiroa – Beach weddings in French Polynesia are always magical, but Rangiroa takes that magic to another level. Just a short one-hour flight from Tahiti, this remote atoll is far from the crowds and feels like a hidden paradise made just for two.

That’s exactly what drew Nete and Morten, a lovely couple from chilly Denmark, to celebrate their wedding here. Swapping snow for sunshine, they were over the moon with the warm weather and the turquoise lagoon. We captured some beautiful sunset moments right on the beach of their resort — soft light, salty breeze, and nothing but joy.

The next day, adventure called. We set sail to The Blue Lagoon, one of Rangiroa’s most iconic and breathtaking spots. Imagine this: a lagoon within the lagoon, dotted with tiny islets covered in palm trees, surrounded by water in every imaginable shade of blue. It’s about an hour’s boat ride from Avatoru, and absolutely worth the journey.

The Blue Lagoon is not just a postcard-perfect location — it’s a dream setting for an adventurous couple session or an elopement ceremony. Remote, wild, and impossibly beautiful… it’s the kind of place you remember forever.

And here’s the magic: Samuel flew the drone over this incredible scenery, capturing the vastness, the wild blues, and the intimacy of the couple in a way that only aerial views can offer. Rangiroa is truly made for this kind of storytelling — wide, untouched, and cinematic. If you’ve ever dreamed of drone footage for your wedding, this is the place.

If you’re thinking of a wedding in French Polynesia and want something off the beaten path, Rangiroa might just steal your heart.
