Shelley and Sam got married at The Boatshed in Karapiro, umbrellas came out for the ceremony as the rain rolled through. Shelley's daughter was right there in the bridal party, the vintage mini arrival and their cute little dog spent the day curled up on his own cushion like he owned the place, getting just as many photos as anyone.
Sam had his first look with Shelley in among the trees, one of those quiet, forehead to forehead moments where everything else just disappears for a second. As I packed up to head home, Shelley filled my hands with cake before I left, the kind of sweet, thoughtful gesture that summed up exactly what this pair are like.
