While in New Zealand a few weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph Natacha and Gareth who were just married the week before. We did the shoot on the edge of Auckland harbor on a volcanic headland called North Head. The spot was amazing, with a series of military tunnels, bunkers, and a great view of the harbor. Thanks Natacha for the great recommendation!
