Can’t even describe how good it felt to be back in action last weekend! We got to photograph and film the most beautiful intimate elopement of Whiti and Richard. Due to the Auckland border still being closed, they couldn’t sadly have their family over apart from Whiti’s brother, which meant we got to be their wedding guests as well as their vendors at the same time!
