Mudbrick wedding on Waiheke Island (Harriet and Jayden) - Auckland photographers

Mudbrick is a stunning venue for any wedding with unique location overlooking the hills on Waiheke Island, perfect for any couple and pleasure for us to shoot, as photographers.

Harriet and Jayden come together with their family and friends to celebrate their special day. Couple had amazing time full of love and laughter, warm and cosy atmosphere.

We met with them before at pre-wedding consultation and engagement photo shoot before the wedding. Had so much fun and romance at sunset photo shoot at Muriwai Beach.

Couple shared their story: “Been together 3 years, met online have already enjoyed many adventures together travelling in and away from New Zealand and now have a 9month old baby Henry”. Proposal made “On a beach walk on a romantic weekend away to celebrate our one year anniversary.” What a beautiful family with gorgeous baby boy!

Wedding at Little Wilderness - Olga and Juan (Kumeu) photography

Congratulations Olga & Juan celebrated their special wedding day with close friends and family at Little Wilderness (Kumeu). Feels like we just done with this beautiful couple their pre-wedding photo shoot and big day come so fast!

Olga’s parents made their way from Russia to celebrate this day with couple. Unfortunately Juan’s parents cant come due to the sad times in family - nana passed away, but they can still participate watching online through Live stream. Such a special memories for years to come!

Couple shared their love story: “We met at an English school a bit more than 6 years ago. Our mutual friend introduced us to each other. I didn't like him initially because he didn't believe that I was Russian and I needed to show him my passport. He was a bit arrogant and mean. Then with time, we started hanging out more and having long conversations. We understood that we have many things in common. Without realizing we started dating, and now we are getting married and cannot imagine living without each other.” Proposal story is very touching as well: I came back home from work on the 31st of December and he asked me to check something in our room. There was a little necklace on the deb and a letter. When I read it I was almost crying as it was beautiful. When I turned around he was on his knee with a ring box in his hand and asked me to marry him.” Such a special memories!

Pre-wedding photo shoot on the beach (Auckland engagement photographer)

It was amazing to meet this beautiful couple, Rosanna and Riaz, that travel all the way from Hong-Kong to New Zealand to have their pre-wedding photo shoot on Muriwai Beach and also visit their sister’s wedding in Auckland. It was a pleasure to be chosen as their photographers and spent some great time walking and talking on the beach, finding out about couple story and their plans for special day (couple met at work and never looked back with happy days).

There was a moment when waves come suddenly (never underestimate New Zealand West Coast beaches!) and couple get surrounded by ocean water. Luckily Rosanna climbed on the rock and Riaz been just patiently holding her hand and waiting when water roll back. What a memories or NZ adventures!

Castaways wedding: Robert and Pei {Auckland couples - family photographer}

Castaways is a perfect location for a wedding! Thats what Robert and Pei chose for their celebration with close friends: ceremony on top of a stunning hill above the beach and reception in a restaurant with amazing views, one of the best in Auckland! Its such a pleasure to see couples and their family and capture all important moments for years to come, to be their wedding photographer!

We met with this beautiful people on their engagement session {check out their pre-wedding photo shoot highlights in our Blog!}.

Couple shared their story: “We met at work and bonded over several on call shifts together, team dinners/events and mutual friends/colleagues hangs. We eventually really got to spend some quality time together at a close mutual friend's birthday party and really bonded over our shared culture, interests, faith and upbringing. It just felt so organic and simple from the get go and we really hit it off from there. We would have been together just over 2 years by the time of our wedding.” The proposal: “I had very elaborate plans I was contemplating but the ring I bought was made available to me much much earlier than anticipated and I just couldn't wait to start our lives together and I knew we both felt ready for it. We have a joint day off on Waitangi day and the weather was great, Pei planned a day of hiking, beaches and cafes and I figured this would be the best way to catch her by surprise. We eventually spent the afternoon lying on the sand at Castor Bay in a secluded part of the beach and I knew this was the place. There were some minor highjinks but we got there in the end”. :)
