Bethells Beach Engagement - Banner & Rylee

Truly some of my favourite photographs ever documented by my own hands.

Two of my dear friends got engaged last year and finally at the end of summer, we all drove out to Te henga
(Bethells beach) and spent the Autumn evening skipping over the black sand of the west coast.
We had a picnic together and watched as the clouds changed in the sky. Giggling a lot as usual as we soaked up the last of the summer air that was left.
With these photographs I really wanted to show the true essence and depth of who Banner and Rylee are and how they love each other. There is so much behind the story of these two and so I have tried my best to do it justice.
They have loved each other through a lot of different seasons of life, and I have seen them create and grow a love that has the depth, the story, the real stuff that makes you step back and think wow, this is what it means to truly love.
Their uniqueness and strength of being such beautiful individuals, means that when they are together it overflows and they become twice as beautiful.
And they love and wholeheartedly embrace each other's differences, while still being utterly themselves.
Such a strong pair, because such strong individuals. These two are ridiculously beautiful together and I will never get over the way they care for each other.
Bans and Rylee have got something special and they know it, they cherish each other deeply.
Now they have each other forever and it's the best thing in the world.
So grateful to have such special friends to share life with and such beautiful souls I get to know and be around.

I adore you guys, and it makes me happy beyond words that you found each other
