When Alice contacted me to capture her extended family together over Christmas – I leapt at the chance. There is nothing more special than family, and capturing them together as they are all growing up! Here is a preview into their fun couple of hours hanging at the beach with adventures, hunting and lots of stories….
Introducing Mr and Mrs Mills! Wed on the pretty lawn at Openlands, Matt married Abbey in front of their nearest and dearest on his family land. Abbey glowed in her gorgeous Amaline Vitale gown, and the Mountain was out – blessing them under the sunshine. We adventured around the gardens and their on-site church, and then on to the beach and Pihama Lavender for the reception – where we managed to capture some breathtaking light on sundown. A perfect day full of emotions, sunlight, laugher and tears. xx
