Piha Beach is one of the most beautiful locations for engagement session in Auckland. I personally love West Coast Beaches for pre-wedding photo shoots, with such stunning landscapes and opportunity for a gorgeous sunset light, dream come true for any photographer!

We met with Andrea & Jerry just few months before their wedding in Queenstown for couple’s photo shoot and had such amazing time, full of love, light and laughter!

Couple shared their love story: “We were neighbours during high school & went out for 3 years during Uni. We reconnected 8 years later. We’ve been together just over 2 years again now and knew from our first date that this was it for us and we’ve been inseparable ever since.” The proposal: “We brought our first house together in June. Settlement was on the Friday & we met early Saturday morning at the house to start moving. Andrea walked in to find the ring box & Jerry on one knee. We both burst into tears. It was surreal and felt like all our dreams had come true.” Such an amazing heartfelt story!

We had such a great time together with Trelise & Alan {our engagement photo shoot giveaway winners from Auckland Weddings} on Piha Beach {NZ}, their wedding coming up next year around Christmas time, so excited for this amazing couple!

I just loved this atmosphere on the beach - rocks, waves, sand, sunset! We had so much beautiful, romantic and emotional moments with this fun loving couple. Amazed by their love and energy!

Trelise told a story of the proposal, so beautiful and romantic!:

"Alan proposed on our 1 year anniversary in Santorini, Greece in June 2016. We had woken up early to watch the sunrise, so the paths were empty except for us. It was beautifully quiet, a lovely warm temperature, and just such a beautiful moment. We were at a view point on the island, looking out towards all the white houses and blue roofs, with the sun rising behind them, and we had a blue domed house right next to us (which we now refer to as "Our Dome"). Alan got down on one knee, on a cobbled path, and had to wait a few moments for an answer from me as I thought I was still asleep and dreaming!! A beautiful stray dog was the only witness to our special moment. We then had a champagne breakfast at our Cave, and spent the rest of the day out on a catamaran exploring Santorini and swimming in the bluest of blue oceans." Amazing dreamy moment!

I love every single moment of our session, there was freezing, windy,cloudy and sunny. We are survived the weather conditions! :)
