Chloe & Jack in Karioitahi Beach

Travelling from Hamilton, Chloe and Jack chose to do their engagement shoot in Karioitahi Beach. A stunning location on the west coast of New Zealand that is also close to Waikato. With its rugged beauty, vast coastline, and picturesque sunsets. It was an excellent choice offering a dramatic backdrop that perfectly captures the essence of their love and romance.

Karioitahi Beach offers plenty of opportunities for fun and adventurous shots. Chloe and Jack were game on hiking and exploring the rocky outcrops, to reach a mini waterfall. This location added a different element (fun and adventurous) for a beach engagement shoot.

As the sun set, we hiked to the beach to capture the breathtaking sunsets. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky creates a magical ambience that adds a touch of romance to their photoshoot. The golden hues reflecting off the black sand made the experience more unique and memorable.
