Summer & Rich | Wellington Wedding Photography | Petone Beach

I have to admit something here. I really battled to chose the sneak peek shots from this wedding. Something really pulled me in; maybe the gorgeous floating light-as-wind wedding dress, the beautiful whimsey of the bride who wore it, her and her new husband’s perfectly New Zealand back yard, or the love the two had between them. I’m not sure. But either way I found it really hard to choose, and so here are a few that I agonized over.

Because you can’t tell someone else’s love story, you can only help reflect it back to them; I hope these photos help reflect a small piece of what was Summer and Rich’s spectacular wedding day.

Claire & Luke | Engagement Session | Wellington Waterfront

Claire and Luke are about to fly back home to a chilly, cold, snowy white Chicago. They’re leaving behind, our sunny, calm, tropical Wellington.  Well, we waited a month or so for a fine day, but we got this beautiful ‘Wellington’ day instead, and actually, I kinda like it.

 

I have a couple of gorgeous weddings I’m editing right now as well, so stay tuned. And in the meantime, let’s wish Claire and Luke all the happiness in the world for their upcoming wedding!
