Tim and Hannah Ruapuke Beach Engagement

I absolutely love Ruapuke and the west coast beached for thier black volcanic sands and the wild untamed natural landscapes, it just speaks to my heart and soul so when Tim and Hannah booked for an engagement shoot and said how much they loved it out there, I jumped a the chance to to head out one evening and capture some photos for them. The weather was perfect with the most amazing light towards to the end of the shoot and had so much fun … Ruapuke did not disappoint….!!

Jack & Renee | Hamilton Gardens | Engagement

I am so lucky that I live so close to Hamilton Gardens, It is such a fabulous place to meet up with couples for shoots with so many different gardens to choose from, so very lucky. I met up with Jack and Renee there one weekend and we had a very cool time capturing some awesome engagement photos for them. They loved The Victorian Glass house so we started there and then walked down into the main gardens for a wander round… here are just a few from our session..

Rachael & Tom

Met up with Rachael & Tom on the weekend to capture some engagement photos for them, So we had a lovely wander round chatting about the plans they are making for their big day , how we can include their beloved dog for a photo shoot ( how cool would that be !) And generally just had a really neat time trying out different styles and working out what they liked and what they didn't like and getting to know each other.....Such a cool couple...So obviously meant to be together and I am lucky enough to be part of their big day and the celebrations !!

I love it when I am invited to the family home to capture engagement photos for my lovely couples, equally in love when I know they are having the wedding at the same location too... And how lucky were we after putting of this shoot for a few weeks now due to bad weather we were rewarded with the most gorgeous sunset !!!

Here are few of my favourites !!
