Stephen & Mackenzi's Otama Farm Engagement Session

Stephen and Mackenzi get married this summer and we're their photographers!!! These two have been booked in with us for over a year so it's felt like we've waited ages to do their engagement session but we couldn't have picked a more glorious summery evening up the top of Otama last week.

The light & the views were stunning, we loved hanging out with Stephen and Mackenzi and we created some epic shots around the farm. Bring on the wedding day I say!

We started the session in the backyard with Stephen and Mackenzi's two wee girls for some family shots. I know these beautiful girls will be such a huge part of the wedding day in February!

We grabbed a couple of beers and headed down to the yards where I found some beautiful sunlight filtering through the trees. I'm always looking at the light and sometimes the most unassuming spots can make the best photos just because of how good the light is!

From the yards we continued up the Mackay family farm to go check out Stephen & Mackenzi's ceremony spot on the hill which looks down onto Mandeville where Mackenzi grew up. Now how's that for a meaningful location to get married?!

And as the sun set below the hill the light got softer and more romantic.

Stephen & Mackenzi, we're so thrilled to be your photographers! Bring on February! I know it's going to be a fun filled day of celebration with you both and your friends & family. x
