Claudia and Darren

Orua Beach House Coromandel Peninsula New Zealand

Claudia and Darren got married at Orua Beach House out at Hot Water Beach, and this one meant a lot to me, they're actual friends of mine, and I already knew most of the bridal party so well that the whole day just felt like being there with my own people.

For portraits, we spent time down at Hot Water Beach running around in some seriously strong wind, before jumping on the ATV to ride right around the property. Honestly, I don't think I've seen coastline like it anywhere else in New Zealand, cliff tops dropping straight into this insane turquoise water. We kept finding one more view, one more angle, and I could have stayed out there all afternoon
