I am so happy to share with you today a beautiful pre-wedding | engagement session with Elizabeth & Tony in Redwood Forest and Lake Rotorua {Bay of Plenty, New Zealand}. Even more excited now about couple's upcoming wedding in Black Barn on Lake Tarawera, such a great honor to be their wedding photographers!
We started our engagement photo shoot in the dark forest, walking among tall trees to talk about little details, couple's story and other moments and then on to Rotorua city, lake side, with geysers nearby. Liz shared some details about their relationship:
" We have been together for nine years; we met when we were teenagers through mutual friends, and our paths crossed 2 or 3 times before we started dating. We are both from Tauranga, so it was great having so many friends who now got to know each other because of their connection to us and each other".
Fantastic proposal story:
"He proposed at home!! We have a cat called wolf which means everything to us, so he wanted Wolf to be there for the proposal. Tony also knows I don't like too much attention in a crowd, so he wanted it to be private so that I could react naturally. He hung an envelope of the front door which has the letters Y E S N O, and when I opened the door, he was holding a sign which the letters were designed to fit into. He had arranged Champagne and booked a car to come pick us up and take us to a special dinner. Greatest night!"
Sounds like unforgettable memories!
