Melissa and Jono are two of the kindest, most generous, fun-loving people you’ll find. Together they make a pretty formidable team, and a wonderful couple. And what a special day they had in rural Southland. Mr and Mrs Dennison walked out of their ceremony to the sound of Jono’s precious father’s bagpipes, and the special …

The Mahia Family
It’s always a particular honour to photograph another photographer and their family. Rosé is the face behind Rose Wilks Photography – Poppet, and you can find her beautiful work on Facebook. I had the pleasure of updating the Mahia family’s photos one spring (this weather though) evening in Southland.

Ashleigh and Simon
Covid may have thwarted Ash and Simon’s Fijian wedding plans but being able to celebrate with even more of their family and friends on home soil in Invercargill was surely a good Plan B. Plus, Fiji makes for a great honeymoon destination when travel opens up again! The day was relaxed, fun, and all about …

Kelly, Brenton, and the bump

The Felix Family
Before I moved to Christchurch I put out a call to find some mothers who’d like their pregnancy captured – I love maternity shoots and I was keen to meet other mothers, and start networking and making friends in Canterbury. Vannessa sent me a message and we met high above Christchurch in the Port Hills …

Cassie and Nathan – Engaged
The titles of my blogs are always my couple’s names but I really tossed up the idea of putting Lottie’s name in there too. Cassie and Nathan just adore their wee princess – she is the most loved and celebrated wee lady, and the way she looks at her parents is pure adoration. More and …

Gemma and Josh – Engaged
There’s something about the beach in winter that clears out the cobwebs and invigorates you. It certainly wasn’t warm for Gemma and Josh’s engagement shoot but they were up for the challenge, and look at these photos – you’d never know how cold it was! I didn’t even notice the temperature until I got back …

Tiffany, Alex, and baby McCallum
Baby McCallum is so loved already, and Tiffany and Alex are counting down the days until they discover if they have a son or a daughter. We headed out to the beach and, for late May, the weather was remarkable! It stopped raining literally minutes before our shoot and I happily wandered round barefoot without …
