Paul & Michelle were married at Gracehill, in Kumeu, on a rainy afternoon in May.

While the weather meant that they needed to move to plan B, and hold the ceremony indoors - it also made for lovely soft light for some photos - perfect for us!!

Their personal & intimate ceremony was shared by friends & family - and officiated by Amber's mum - Peta Hardley, which was cool for us, as it was the first time we had shot a wedding with her!

Afterwards, the rain cleared up enough to have a wander around the grounds at Gracehill - with some beautiful umbrella shots, and underneath the gazebo.

What makes these images so beautiful is that it's obvious that Paul & Michelle didn't let the weather get them down - their joy just shines through, which is what it's all about!

It was a fantastic day - thank you both for inviting us to share a part in it!
