If ever there was a couple who deserve a clear, sunny wedding day, it’s probably Megan and Mattias – especially after what they braved on the Wellington waterfront. They flew in from Australia for their engagement shoot last Friday, and the capital took the opportunity to whip up a mean batch of wind, plummeting temperatures and some…
It’s pretty rare for Wellington to be “scorching”, but Michelle and Shane quickly turned it on for the camera at Scorching Bay. This little hideaway was where the couple came for some of their first dates, watching the water as they dug into some good old Kiwi fish and chips. They returned for a session to celebrate…
Great session. You really captured the emotion and love between the couple.
Awesome creative ideas, and rockstar posing. The couple must love these.
Classically beautiful work Mary
I love the windswept hair, the setting sun… Everything!
what an incredibly beautiful couple. I mean, seriously. I just love #15.
Mary, you do an amazing job capturing the emotion between the couple while balancing the lovely environment that you’re shooting in. I just love the photo where they are looking at each others hands towards the end. Great work.
These are all so beautiful Mary! Love the shot of them on the bench framed by the trees
They are adorable on a completely other level. Great stuff.
A. They’re hot.
B. You’re hot.
C. You’re pictures of them ARE SO FREAKING HOT I’M ON FIRE!!!!!
Ummm, could these two be any MORE in love?!
You killed it with the bench shot. So good!!
Fantastic work, love the bench shot too, would make a fantastic wall hanger really large !
Mary these are so pretty! My faves are 1 and 6. What a lovely session, I love the beautiful expressions and windswept hair. Love love!
Very, very lovely. The first shot is quite arresting.
I heartily second Kyle’s comments on these photos!
beautiful shots! my favorite is the 4th to last photo of the couple standing on the rocks looking at each other with the epic clouds/water in the background. LOVE these!
Very Nice. Classic and colourful.
Hi, enquiring about your pricing for engagement session? Love these photos!
Thank you Mary and everyone for the comments. Mary is truly talented at what she does. We felt comfortable with her the entire time, and sometimes even forgot she was there! The latter being important from a bride-to-be perspective as you want your photographer to capture the best without you knowing (proof is in the pudding above). I cannot recommend Mary highly enough, an awesome person and fantastic at what she does.
Thank you Mary 🙂
The landscape bench-shot from a distance is a canvas I would pay money for…I’m just trying to figure out how creepy it would seem to have a pic of Michelle & her hubby-to-be on my wall 🙂
Beautiful pics, Congrats Michelle & Shane!
Wonderful images! Love to see how relaxed the couple is, that is not always easy to achieve. Great work!
Joy and Darren caught a stunner of an evening for an engagement photography shoot on Wellington’s iconic waterfront (an ever-changing, dynamic spot I don’t think I could ever get sick of working) and matched it with their own incredible brightness. Thanks for the session guys! I can’t wait for your wedding.
There is so much TRUE connection documented in these photos Mary. You have a gift.
Great shots. Lovely light! You really get a sense of the who the couple are through your photography. Well done.
