Mahinepua Beachfront House - Tim and Leanne {Northland - Auckland wedding photographer}

Leanne & Tim

It's such a pleasure to travel from Auckland Up North, come back exactly one year later {after shooting two weddings in Russell and Kerikeri} and as photographers to be a part of a special celebration - Leanne & Tim wedding in Mahinepua Beachfront House {Northland, New Zealand}. It was rainy but such a happy day with warm and cosy atmosphere, love and positive emotions, all on outskirts of Northland. It was a pleasure to work with Susi Liddington again, she as a wedding planner and stylist created such gorgeous tropical atmosphere in the marquee and around the space. Everyone has been amazed by this creative and talented approach!

The couple shared their love story:" We met at the university during a class we were both taking while Tim was studying towards his Master of Nursing and Leanne was doing her Postgraduate Diploma in Health Sciences. We travelled together to Nepal on a global health university project. After four weeks working together in a rural Nepal community, we then went on a flight around Mt Everest together. Tim took Leanne to the cockpit of the plane and just as we were in front of Mt Everest he proposed." Hard to imagine anything more epic for a proposal! Just funny that instead of giving full attention to Tim Leanne been fascinated looking at the Mount just the moment before.

Its so exciting to hear some unique facts about couple relationship: "We are both nurses who had had a long-standing desire (before we met each other) to work and live in rural communities and locations and have since been fortunate enough work together in places like rural Nepal, remote Kenya and remote outback Australia. Next, we are making a move to rural Northland NZ."

Its all come together with their families and friends celebrated together their special day in Mahinepua Beachfront House far north.

Christmas Holidays. Back to nature. Holidays photographer. Auckland

Christmas holidays is a fun time! Families have time to spend together, go out, travel around and enjoy rest and relax!

We spend our holidays Up North at Totara North (NZ) in family house, visit my husbands dad and made some small trips to search around; Manganui, Waitangi, Paihia, Tauranga Bay, Taupo Bay, Coopers Beach etc

Kids had freedom time: grass, waves, rocks, kauri forest track, beaches, sun, playgrounds, fun! They absolutely love this time at the nature, happy to see granddad, and explore something new.

We met New Year there with family dinner with some traditional Russian salad Olivier and early go to sleep (thats life with kids :). 

Here our lifestyle pictures from this great trip what finished quit fast because I need hurry up to do photo shoot (first in the year :)

P.S. Looks like kids grow so much for this time!
