Bex and Marty

Matakana New Zealand

Bex and Marty eloped out at Karekare Beach, with their ceremony right at the base of the waterfall, just the two of them and two guests there to witness it. What got me though was Marty, he'd broken his leg only a few weeks before the wedding, and he just got on with it all afternoon, joking around the whole time and never once complaining, even scrambling over rocks and sand like it was nothing.

It ended up being one of the most romantic, creative shoots I've done. We finished the day with a candlelit picnic set up right on the beach as the light faded, lanterns strung up in the trees, and Bex and Marty just soaking it all in together
