Taupō Masonic Lodge, 150th Anniversary

I'm documenting the Taupō Masonic Lodge's 150th anniversary celebration across two days, a significant milestone in the district's history. As a Taupō event photographer, it was important to capture this occasion with the care and craft that a century and a half of heritage deserves.

A highlight of the celebration was the Lodge presenting Mike King from I AM HOPE with a cheque for $80,000, a generous gesture that reflects the Lodge's ongoing commitment to the wider Taupō community. From the formalities to the quieter moments between, this project is about preserving a piece of Taupō's history for the generations who'll look back on it.
