New Zealand wedding portrait of the couple posing together on top of the eroded remnants of the Lyttelton volcano
As the sun went down on this beautiful afternoon, the couple posed together on top of the eroded remnants of the Lyttelton volcano.
This couple decided to have a very small and private wedding shared only between themselves with no other guests or family in attendance. They chose to be married at home near the scenic town of Canterbury, New Zealand which, in addition to its immense beauty and lush, natural environment, is also a town full of rich history. Its location, situated near a harbor, the rolling Port Hills, and the Lyttelton volcano, made the perfect setting for this intimate and romantic wedding. Despite the small size of the wedding, it was important for the couple to document this day.
