PARUA BAY, WHANGAREI HEADS

Kennedy and Joel's DIY backyard style wedding was absolutely stunning. The locations they discovered while walking hills and speaking with farmers were simply breathtaking. When I first met them, I felt an instant connection as we bonded over our shared love for house buses and tiny homes. Seeing all the handmade details they put into their special day made it clear that it was going to be something truly remarkable. From the stormy skies to the sunset dancing, every aspect of Kennedy and Joel's wedding was perfectly reflective of who they are as a couple. It was unique, beautiful, and so incredibly them.

As a photographer, I strive to capture these intimate and special moments in a dreamy, intuitive, and organic way and working with Kennedy and Joel was so inspiring. From the moment I saw that Kennedy wasn’t going to wear shoes but rather choosing a pair of hand beaded toe sandals I new these two were my kind of people.
