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….!!

Loren & Kris | Raglan Beach | Engagement session

You can just never tell what the weather is going to do out at Raglan Beach … As I met up with Loren and Kris the sun was out and a perfect summer evening and as we headed down the beach the sun quickly and unexpectedly ducked behind a cloud and refused to be seen again, but that is the wonderful thing about west coast New Zealand and Raglan, you never know just what your going to get.. didn’t stop Loren and kris having some fun and getting some cool photos for their engagement..

Zack & Renee | Raglan beach | Engagement photos

I Love heading out to Raglan for engagement shoots, west coast New Zealand is just so dramatic and wild and its forever changing, their are days you can arrive at Raglan Ngarunui beach and the sun is beating down and the black volcanic sands burn your feet as you dash to the waters age and other times you arrive and its dark and moody and the clouds are dark and threatening rain, the surfers are bobbing up and down in the water and you are reminded of how quickly the weather can change out here and how you really wouldn’t have it any other way as its just stunning and provides the perfect west coast beach environment for couples for their engagement photos.

Zack and Renee are getting married early next year and I cant wait for their big day !!
