Selma & Kieran Patumahoe Church Wedding // Kirsten Summers // Auckland wedding photographer

Kieran and Selma wanted to keep their day as no fuss as possible which is exactly what they managed to do.  After a beautiful service in their local Patumahoe church we drove a short drive into town and took some fun photos in front of their favourite little iconic cafe.  Then back to a friends Airbnb for food, drinks and speeches with their closest friends a family.  A super chill, yet beautiful wedding if I ever did see one.
