On a gorgeous windswept day in Taranaki, these two tied the knot overlooking the ocean at the New Plymouth wedding venue Little Church Bay, which has the perfect centerpiece about as close to the ocean as you can get for a venue, and perfect for surfers and nature lovers like Sam and Paige. I love it when you get a really clear brief about what the couple are looking for with their wedding photos for the bride and groom portraits, and their love of the outdoors came out really clearly and was something they wanted reflected in the photos, (something I adore, as you might have gathered looking at my photos!). So after the ceremony we took the chance to visit a few spots for some gorgeous Taranaki coastline shots, which these two rocked, along with fence jumping prowess and numerous laps of sand dunes for that gorgeous wide angle dune shot. It was such a lovely day, and I so enjoyed getting to hang out with these two - congrats guys!
