I received an email from Julia on the 12 of February asking if we were available to photograph their wedding on the 3rd of March. As usual we enquired about what her plans were, the venue, number of guests, etc. etc. Since Julia and Torsten were travelling from Germany, they were not sure where they wanted to get married. All she could tell me was that it will take place at a beach (Pauanui or Tairua), there are no guests, and "It will be pure and simple, but romantic…"
Now here was I, being very professional, and stressing about what they would look for in their photos. And not having met them before (we met for the first time at Sailor's Grave, 30 minutes before the ceremony!!) didn't help the situation.
But now that my job is finished, yes, it was pure, simple and very romantic and just crazy fun! Who would have thought that I'd end up with soaking wet shoes and my trousers wet below the knees. (You two were supposed to warn me!!) And you can tell from the photos, we all had a lovely morning and a beautiful wedding ceremony.
Julia and Torsten - hope you have a lovely time here in NZ and we wish you all the very best in life!
Now that's typical NZ, jandals, campavan, long drop and a recycle bin! Wot? You thought I'd say, bush, blue sky and white clouds?
This for me, was the sign of things to come...!
Wooden rings! The originals are back home - made from ivory of the woolly mammoth, bound to attract the attention of MAF!
Julia's jandals. Absolutely gorgeous! Who needs Jimmy Choos?
This has got to be one of my favourite 'first look' photos!
Torsten is simple, spontaneous and so much in LOVE!
I am sure Anke, their celebrant, did a wonderful job as Julia had tears in her eyes. (Should have taken German classes in school!)
What can I say about the next three photos...'pure, simple and romantic', just as Julia said it would be!
You two - stay in love, always!

Awesome stuff, San! Is there no beach you won't run on, or water you won't wade through, for the perfect shot?!?
