Sun-soaked Central Elopement by Nicole Gourley

Just as love perseveres through rain or shine, so did the makings of this shoot styled and photographed by our newly acquired Canterbury local Nicole Gourley. Real-life, engaged couple Bella and Ben strolled adoringly hand in hand through the main street of Clyde bathing in the sunshine before their day saw them headed for a refreshing poolside dip then soared off on a balmy evening drive.

Clyde is a town that features century-old stonework sitting alongside new, modern architecture making it a dream location for a fusion of styles.

Wildly textured, earthy floral hues complemented the surrounding rugged landscape of the Central region, whilst the simplicity of the brides’ sleek white gown and the grooms’ classic monochrome suit allowed for accessories to be changed out and show off the couples unique, eclectic style as the sun made its lap around the earth.
