Pre-wedding engagement session on Muriwai Beach {Auckland wedding photographer}

Carlos & Caroline come to their pre-wedding | engagement session on Muriwai Beach from overseas {New York}. Its such a pleasure for me as a wedding photographer to capture all the emotions, romantic and real moments for this beautiful couple.

Their story: “Carlos and I met in New York City five years ago working together at the same architecture firm. Before coming to the states, Carlos grew up in Auckland and a lot of his family still lives there. We were always good friends and after a year or so began dating, (secret office romance). Then I moved away for school and we've spent the last four years doing long distance. This has made all the time we have gotten to spend around one another all the more special. I'm finally graduating this May and moving back to NYC to be with him for good. We have decided to get married in the states but want to make New Zealand part of our wedding experience”.

Proposal story: “This past August, Carlos and I were spending the weekend at my family's summer house by the ocean. Carlos suggested we go for a little walk on the beach and completely surprised me by suddenly kneeling in front of me in the sand. I hadn't thought he was going to ask me for another year or so based on conversations that we had had. Turns out, he had been elaborately planning the proposal for months coordinating everything. After I said yes we started to walk back up the beach and suddenly my family came running down from the dunes where they had been hiding with a bottle of champagne and glasses for all of us. It was perfect” SO romantic story!

Enjoy highlights of photo gallery with these beautiful souls. Our session been full of Love, Light and Laughter!
