Combining the natural beauty of the stunning west coast beaches of Auckland with an elegant feminine style, Melbourne Wedding photographer ASHTON JEAN-PIERRE created this ethereal bridal shoot featuring a bridal gown from SALLY EAGLE BRIDAL

Ashton tells us, "I have a deep passion for the coast, watching it always gives me inspiration. I visited Piha, New Zealand two years ago and simply fell in love with this amazing beach because of it's black sands. Shooting weddings in New Zealand would be one my dreams so I headed there for the next best thing - a bridal editorial. Dani wore the Paige gown by SALLY EAGLE BRIDAL, she carried a ZIM ZEE FLOWERS bouquet which consisted of white, soft peach and pastel pink tones held together with two ANNA MARGUERITE COUTURE crowns, which contrasted perfectly against the ivory dress. She was pampered by the amazing make up artist JOSIE WIGNALL. Beautiful timeless paper goods by Little Duck Calligraphy with hues of ivory, dark grey and gold."
