But here's the kicker: the rain still wasn't letting up, so those dreamy sunset shots? Yeah, they had to wait. But Anna and Chris? They were cool with it. We met up the next week for a photoshoot on Torquay pier, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Sunset or not, their love lit up every frame.
At the end of the day, Anna and Chris's wedding was a vibe—a celebration of love, laughter, and not letting a little rain ruin the party. It's a reminder that when you've got each other, nothing can dampen your spirits.
