Alex + Paul

Once upon a beautiful Taranaki summer’s day, Alex and Paul had the most beautiful and relaxed wedding they could hope for! Planning partly from overseas, the remote Wai-iti beach was the perfect spot to get away for their intimate affair. Calming the nerves with a first look, then some creative photography down the coast… they tied the knot surrounded by family and friends – those nearest and dearest. In a perfectly chilled way, their reception flowed afterwards with some sunset shots later in the evening… such a gorgeous day filled with laughter, good times and adventures. Here is a sneak peak into the big day of Mr and Mrs Tench xx
