She was absolute sunshine,
a light so bright she broke through darkness, rain and adversities..
And in that light, love was found.
A love so powerful it overcame even the memory of darkness.
Powerful love becomes our home, our centre and our safe place.
And with our even brighter light
we never again
need to face that darkness alone.

✨️

This one was straight to our hearts.
A very special elopement ceremony for Brooke and Kyle on the beach where all the treasured memories are made.
We wish you both endless sunny days. Congratulations again

- and the iconic waterfall in Pukekura Park, New Plymouth.

You know you're from New Plymouth when you recognize this waterfall. It holds a magical allure. Many children and adults are captivated by the flow of water over, and the button to control it!
Such an iconic place to hold an elopement ceremony.

Congratulations again Brianna and Drew!

We are so happy for D+R who decided to marry their own way with the best travel + wedding goals!

They travelled all the way from the UK to marry with us, followed by a honeymoon road trip of NZ in their motorhome! What a plan!
🚐🏔

The brief was snowy mountains.. and as we know our maunga can really put on a show, along with Lake Mangamahoe.
What better place than the lookout above the lake.

With fingers crossed the snow fell and the clouds disappeared on what may have been the best day of winter season. This super sweet couple had the best karma!

Congratulations R+D!

One of the best things about eloping is that you can decide short notice. 💥
While others secure their weddings 18months in advance, you can have the privilege of flexibility and spontaneity.

With only a handful of guests to organise you can still coordinate your date in summer but have the ability to secure more beautiful times of the day - such as the golden hour and sunset. Times that are typically difficult for larger gatherings. 👏🏼

Let's mingle on the beach with champagne, or as the light drops over your home garden.
The choice is yours. 🥂🌄🌅

So many gorgeous shots for these two who married next to river at Burgess Park, New Plymouth.

We loved that they eloped with a full bridal party and their puppy Luna.

Because they opted for a two hour package they also secured some incredible shots at Back Beach.
