Grace and Daniel grew up in the same church youth group and wanted a ceremony that put their faith at the centre, with the Pacific as the backdrop. They asked for pictures full of wind, light and real emotion.

The Venue
A small white chapel on the cliffs above the ocean, with an open-air reception on the lawn as the sun went down.
Light & Mood
The ceremony began an hour before sunset, so the chapel glowed with low, warm light. In black and white the ocean turned soft and silver, and the couple stood out clearly against it.
Styling
Grace wore a flowing chiffon gown with a short veil that caught the sea breeze. Daniel wore an ivory dinner jacket. Olive branches and white garden roses kept everything understated.
The Day
A morning devotion with the bridal party, a heartfelt ceremony with readings from both sets of parents, portraits on the cliff path and a long-table dinner under festoon lights.
