Today (yay!) is part two of the stunning shoot on Piha Beach shot by the talented Qiane, with styling and florals by Mel from All The Frills If you missed part one, simply shimmy on over HERE. Enjoy!
Behind the scenes with Qiane…
“If I were to get married again, this styled shoot would be everything I would want my wedding to be. Long sleeve, soft lace dress, dapper suspenders for my groom, bare feet (although I went barefoot for my wedding, so nothing really changes there) a freshly picked bunch of flowers and a wild west coast beach with some beautiful boho style.
When I talked to Melanie from All The Frills about my idea for this shoot all I could describe to her was the way I wanted it to feel. It needed to be romantic, free-spirited, whimsical, and wildly untamed beauty – her styling and florals (how drop dead dreamy is the floral archway!) encapsulated that to a tee and we couldn’t go wrong with our location – Piha Beach, one of my most favorite Auckland getaways.
To accompany the gorgeous Kelsey Genna gown, I found the stunning turquoise feather necklace at a local shop in the mall, can you believe, and the groom is almost dressed entirely from the OpShop! This was such a fun project to be part of and my wonderful team of creatives helped to pull it together effortlessly. I have a soft spot for bohemian flavor and am very tempted to start planning for my vowel renewal ceremony after this shoot!!!”
Telling stories is my passion and doing it through photography is my gift. My philosophy is simple, it is to take beautiful images of your love, your moments and your unique essence so you can remember it for a lifetime.
