Auckland Wedding | Kauri Bay
Claire & David’s Romantic Kauri Bay Boomrock Wedding
When it comes to love stories, sometimes the most beautiful beginnings come from the most ordinary places. For Claire and David, it all started at work. They were colleagues who shared laughs and conversations, until one day Claire decided to ask David out. That single moment sparked a journey that has now spanned four and a half years, filled with growth, laughter, and love. By the end of last year, David surprised Claire with a heartfelt proposal, setting the stage for the next chapter of their lives together.
A Wedding Planned in Three Months
While some couples take years to plan their dream day, Claire and David managed to plan theirs in just three months. Their wedding was proof that love doesn’t need endless checklists or complicated details — just the right people and the right energy. They describe the day as family-oriented, relaxed, romantic, and truly fun. And looking back, they both agree: it was the best day of their lives.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Kauri Bay Boomrock, with sweeping coastal views and golden light washing over the landscape, the atmosphere was intimate yet unforgettable. The venue’s natural elegance paired perfectly with their vision of a wedding that was about connection, not perfection.
A Day to Remember
Guests laughed, shared stories, and celebrated with joy, while Claire and David soaked up every moment. From heartfelt vows to the relaxed reception, the day unfolded effortlessly — a celebration that felt as natural and genuine as their love story.
As their Auckland wedding photographer , I had the privilege of capturing those fleeting glances, candid smiles, and emotional moments that told the story of their wedding day. Every frame became a reminder of how beautiful a wedding can be when it’s centered on love, family, and togetherness.
Why Their Story Matters
Stories like Claire and David’s are why I love being a wedding photographer in New Zealand. Every couple has their own unique journey, and every wedding is a chance to preserve memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s planned over years or, like Claire and David, in just a few months, the magic lies in the authentic moments — the ones you’ll look back on and cherish forever.
