Beautiful NZ wedding #1 - {Gold Coast Photographer}

Facebook is an amazing thing, yes you will find me on there. Martha is one of the many school friends I have reconnected with, thanks to facebook and when she contacted me about wedding photos I very quickly became excited about the idea, not only was it chance to take gorgeous wedding photos, it was an awesome excuse to take my family back to New Zealand for a holiday.
The wedding was planned for 6.30 at night on the beach, at 1st this worried me (loss of light), but I soon remembered that6.30pm in NZ might as well be the middle of the day.
Apparently on January 16th the sun rose at 6.08am and set at 9.10pm, however we did not see it as it was grey all day, rainy and grey. This did not deter Martha and Lucas, the wedding was moved indoors and the greyest day became the most beautiful, loving, spiritual day.
Martha and her 3 beautiful girls walked in to the sound of an amazing tribal drum (which was beaten again at cake cutting), and I must admit, when Lucas came over and greated the girls with a kiss and gentle whispers, my heart melted and I teared up.
It was a truly beautiful wedding and I was so greatful to be part of it.
Becauseas always I want to share too many photos, there will be 2 blog post, 1 today, 1 tomorrow.
Martha, Lucas, Kirra, Maisie & Sylvia, that you for letting me be part of a special moment in your life.
