Beach Elopement with the Family

I was privileged to photograph another elopement at Motukiekie Beach through Elope West Coast NZ, which I run with my celebrant friend, Gen.

This time, Ash and Tony tied the knot in front of their family.

It was a beautiful sunset ceremony, full of laughs, touching moments and the tide nearly lapping the signing table - oops!

Weddings can be the cause of so much financial pressure and anxiety, wanting to make everything 'perfect'. What a stressful way to start married life together. We are getting more and more interest in beach elopements, where we take care of everything, from decor and flowers, to photos and the legal stuff, including witnesses if needed. All couples need to do is dress how they wish to and turn up, then focus on what the most important thing is - their commitment to each other. And what better way to start a marriage?

Ash and Tony said:

Gen and Shirley were amazing to deal with and made everything so easy for us on our special day. We can't thank them enough for what they have done for us. They made everything amazing for us and answered every question we had leading up to the day. The photos turned out amazing and we are so incredibly grateful to both Gen and Shirley for making our special day what it was and a day we will never forget! Thank you both for making us all feel comfortable and lucky to have such wonderful help.
