Elopement at Karekare Beach, Auckland
Aurelie and Olivier came all the way from France to get married in New Zealand. The couple are lovers of the great outdoors, they exchanged their vows at the wild Karekare Beach; (west Auckland, New Zealand) an incredibly raw landscape. Only Carla, the celebrant, and her assistant were there to witness the union between the two lovebirds. And for once… I was behind the marriage register (not only behind my camera) to sign and witness.
We enjoyed a sunset on a mild day, offering an eerie atmosphere. Enjoy the photos!
