Caitlin and Harry’s Māori Bay photo shoot was a beautiful celebration of love on a rainy and gloomy day. We were aiming for a beautiful sunset, but ended up moody skies and soft, diffused light that only a rainy day can bring. Their vision was clear — to capture real, candid moments alongside some gently guided poses, creating a collection of images that felt authentic, emotional, and timeless.
The wet weather set a uniquely intimate tone for the shoot. As the rain whispered around us, Caitlin and Harry shared quiet laughs, tender glances, and natural interactions that truly told their story. This Māori Bay photo shoot combined the raw coastal landscape with their genuine connection.
One of the most magical moments of the day was when the low tide uncovered access to a cave that is usually out of reach. We ventured inside for some truly special moments. The cave’s natural light and rugged textures created an enchanting setting that perfectly complemented this beach session. These cave photos add a layer of mystery and beauty that make this Māori Bay photo shoot especially memorable.
If you love the idea of embracing all kinds of weather and capturing the true essence of a couple’s connection, this shoot is a wonderful example. For a stunning contrast, head over to the story on Caitlin and Harry’s wedding, where they celebrated their big day in a glorious sunny afternoon at Castaways Resort — complete with a breathtaking sunset.
