As an Auckland wedding photographer, there’s nothing quite like the privilege of documenting a couple’s special day, and Bridget and Bruce’s wedding was an absolute joy to photograph. The day began at Castaways Accommodation, a stunning location that set the scene for Bridget and Bruce’s wedding. Bridget, in her ethereal floaty dress, looked simply breathtaking. The intricate details of her gown shimmered as she prepared for the big day, and the anticipation was palpable. Bruce, equally excited, was preparing for their first look.
The first look took place in the serene backyard of their accommodations. The moment Bridget and Bruce saw each other, their faces lit up with pure joy. Then we headed to Karioitahi Beach with the bridal party. Although the wind was quite relentless, it only added to the fun and dynamism of the session. Their passion for cars was evident as he and Bridget took the opportunity to drive their bright yellow sports car along the beach. The sand drifting made for some exhilarating shots, and the playful spirit of the couple truly shone through.
The ceremony was set against a breathtaking cliff with panoramic sea views. The backdrop was perfectly complemented by vibrant pink and orange flowers, echoing Bridget’s vivacious personality. Just as they sealed their vows with a kiss, the rain began to pour. It was as if the heavens were celebrating their union and make the knot tighter.
While the weather thwarted their plan to ride bikes on the beach, Bridget and Bruce made the most of it. They took their beloved dogs, Whiskey and Diesel, for a brief walk and mingled with their guests under the shelter.
The reception was a lively celebration. Heartfelt speeches touched everyone’s hearts, and the fun shoe games brought out laughter and cheer. As the evening progressed, the rain finally stopped. We seized the opportunity to capture the last bit of sunset with the lovely couple - what a perfect ending to a perfect day.
Bridget and Bruce’s wedding was a testament to their love and spontaneity. As an Auckland wedding photographer, it was an honor to capture the essence of their day—filled with genuine emotions, playful moments, and unforgettable scenery. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness and many more adventures together!
