Ascension Matakana wedding photos

Photographed by Amber + Zahn – Filmed by Jared + Pete

For the first 45 seconds of Ben’s speech he had every single ear tuned in to the words he spoke.  

It didn’t start with the traditional thank you’s or even thoughts on marriage.  But instead he took several deep breaths and spoke on the importance of living for the moment right in front of us.
This is a philosophy both Ben and Mon strongly hold and actively applied throughout their wedding day.  Both Ben and Mon watched the sun rise with their best friends, shared and wrote down their gratitudes and even took some time out together to just to let it all sink in.
As photographers and videographers it was an exciting challenge to not only record what happened on their day but also capture their philosophy and state of mind which both Ben and Mon lived by.
So here is their film and photos we captured on their wedding day. I hope you enjoy them.
