Craig and Tania's Wedding (Series)


French Bay, near Titirangi provided a perfect - if slightly rainy - venue for Craig and Tania's wedding (shoes were optional, pants were encouraged). I was along as a guest, but once I found some pants I couldn't resist surreptitiously capturing a few scenes with the 85 & 16-28.
