James and Cole: A Modern New Zealand Romance

Whisky and defenders, architecture and coastal farmland, this wedding shoot is New Zealand luxury at its best.

Set on the hills overlooking Auckland's Muriwau beach, this inspirational shoot captures a suave, lux and celebratory scene that summarises James and Cole's love story.

"We focused on creating clean and timeless images in an architecturally delightful house, called Pairhoa, that perfectly mixes both NZ's new architecture and its farming heritage," says Julieaand Cameron of Haute Weddings. "We captured James and Cole lovingly getting ready together before sharing a whisky and heading off to their ceremony. Cake, confetti and a little champagne, and we were off around the farm in the green defender for a little adventure."
