On a picturesque day, the Wellington waterfront became the backdrop for a love story that was about to unfold. It was a joyous occasion as Gretchen and Murphy, accompanied by their adorable little boy, Taika, embarked on their journey as a family.

Gretchen, the stunning bride, radiated elegance and confidence in her figure-hugging gown adorned with delicate rose-colored sequins. The dress gracefully accentuated her every move, mirroring the grace and beauty that emanated from within. Meanwhile, Murphy and Taika, the handsome duo, donned matching suits and bow ties, embodying the spirit of unity and shared love that defined this momentous day.


As the ceremony came to a close, the newlyweds embarked on a brief but magical photo session. With just twenty minutes to capture their love and chemistry, we embarked on a journey alongside them. The short walk from the ceremony venue to the reception, held at a charming inner city bar, offered an opportunity to capture their affectionate glances and tender moments.


Gretchen and Murphy were an absolute delight to photograph. Their natural connection and undeniable charm shone through in every frame. With each step they took, the cityscape seemed to come alive, mirroring the vibrancy of their love and the electric energy of their surroundings. As photographers, we were privileged to witness their pure joy and document their love story as it unfolded before our lens.Little Taika, the adorable bundle of happiness, added an extra layer of magic to this extraordinary day. His infectious laughter and captivating smile brought an abundance of warmth and love to every photo. The bond between this loving family was evident in every shot, capturing the essence of their unbreakable unity.


The images captured during this brief photo session encapsulate the love, happiness, and excitement that filled the air. Gretchen and Murphy's journey as a couple, combined with the immeasurable joy of raising their beautiful son, Taika, was palpable in every frame. Their story serves as a reminder that true love knows no boundaries and that the strength of a family lies in the unbreakable bonds forged with love, trust, and shared dreams.

Their urban-themed wedding on Wellington's waterfront served as a testament to the beauty of blending modernity and tradition, while their photographs immortalize the magic of that day.
