Piha Beach engagement session (Auckland pre-wedding photographer) Andrea and Jerry

Piha Beach is one of the most beautiful locations for engagement session in Auckland. I personally love West Coast Beaches for pre-wedding photo shoots, with such stunning landscapes and opportunity for a gorgeous sunset light, dream come true for any photographer!

We met with Andrea & Jerry just few months before their wedding in Queenstown for couple’s photo shoot and had such amazing time, full of love, light and laughter!

Couple shared their love story: “We were neighbours during high school & went out for 3 years during Uni. We reconnected 8 years later. We’ve been together just over 2 years again now and knew from our first date that this was it for us and we’ve been inseparable ever since.” The proposal: “We brought our first house together in June. Settlement was on the Friday & we met early Saturday morning at the house to start moving. Andrea walked in to find the ring box & Jerry on one knee. We both burst into tears. It was surreal and felt like all our dreams had come true.” Such an amazing heartfelt story!
