The Barn Waimauku Wedding

Ella & Mariano got married at The barn Waimauku. It's one of my favourite venues. It has a natural, rustic and bohemian feel. At the barn Waimauku, they have a large rustic barn for the reception and a ceremony area encapsulated in pine trees for that Forrest vibe with lots of great spots for wedding photos: the train track, the forest, exterior of the barns and long grasses with rolling hills perfect for sunset couple shots. The amazing Muriwai beach is only 15mins away. Ella and Mariano choose to do pre ceremony bridal photos at Maori bay beach in Muriwai so they had more time post ceremony with their guests. Their ceremony was sweet with lots of family photos after. I whisked the bride and groom off for a few more bridal portraits in the afternoon and some loved u romantic photos around sunset before returning to their reception.
