Exciting times at Gisele & Kelsey’s engagement photoshoot at Muriwai Beach—one of the most breathtaking locations in West Auckland for pre-wedding photography.
With its dramatic cliffs, rugged coastline, and ever-changing light, Muriwai is truly a dream location for any photographer. On this evening, everything came together perfectly: soft golden sunset light, beautiful textures in the landscape, and the glow filtering through the high rock formations created an incredible backdrop for their session.
Gisele and Kelsey had just gotten engaged after seven years together, having met all the way back in high school. It’s always so special to photograph couples who have grown together over such a long period of time - there is a depth of connection, comfort, and love that naturally shines through in every frame.
The session was filled with so much warmth, laughter, and genuine emotion. You could truly feel the excitement of this new chapter in their lives.
As a little unexpected bonus, there was also a wedding happening on the beach at the same time as our shoot. As a wedding photographer, I couldn’t resist capturing a few candid moments from their celebration as well. Later, we even shared one of the images with the bride, as Gisele happened to know her through a wedding community group - it really is a small world sometimes!
Enjoy highlights from this beautiful engagement session at Muriwai Beach, one of Auckland’s most iconic photography locations.
