14 Oct Lana + Anton. Karioitahi Beach

Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.

We always get very excited when an opportunity arises to do a shoot outdoors at one of New Zealand’s stunning locations. One of our most favourite ones is black sanded West Coast. This time, we picked wild ‘Karioitahi Beach’ located just south of Auckland. As we know West Coast is famous for its glorious sunsets, but this time it was very different to what we expected to see. Weather appeared to be windy and cloudy. However we actually loved the dramatics of what Mother Nature had to offer. With the combination of stunning terrains, contrasting weather and the warmth of two loving souls made this shoot and location shine. Lana and Anton are such a fun couple, we had lots of laugh and cheeky moments during our short 30 minute love story session. Unfortunately the weather turned and it got freezing shortly after we arrived and we had to wrap up earlier. Though sometimes, 30 minutes is all you need to capture the special essence of genuine love. Enjoy that moments with us!

We love shooting engagements and love stories, so please, feel free to contact us and book your engagement session with us.
