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?
