Hanmer Springs has a certain vibe, you know the one. It’s the feeling of holidays, sunshine, chlorine, ice creams, and ciders on the dry grass beside the caravan. What a place to tie the knot. The forecast said rain, and we all hoped it was wrong, but boy did it rain. No matter though, Holly […]

A few weeks back I met Sulin and Luke at their inner-city apartment and we jumped in the car for a roadie. The spot they took me to for their engagement shoot was incredible. Look at it! The sunset was golden, the company was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed being educated on world music ft. […]

Do your photos before the ceremony I’m a huge advocate for this, and I’ve bullet-pointed three of the reasons why this is the best choice you’ll make. When you and your partner see each other for the first time, it’s just the two of you. You can chat, admire each other, ask about how the […]

The thought of having gorgeous, candid photos of your family to display on your walls is enticing, but I know the reality can be daunting. What should we wear? Where should we go? How do I get my kids to be happy and natural during the shoot? I’ve been photographing families for years now, and […]

I laughed so hard during the speeches at Deedee and Jake’s winter Wanaka wedding. There were tears of laughter, honestly what a night. The reception was so darn good. The dance floor was jam-packed and one of the most epic parties I’ve had the privilege of photographing. I wanted to stay all night! Let’s rewind… […]

Liv and Sam (and their tribe of amazing people) organised their wedding in three weeks so 1-year-old Benji could be there. He’s got to be the most handsome best man you’ve ever seen. Scroll to the bottom for the most precious first dances, and a party to remember! There was champagne, rain, happy dances, tears, […]

This day was insaaaane. I styled this shoot with a mid-century/modern fusion vibe and boy, did it deliver! Bella and Ben are a real-life engaged couple who met at rehearsals for a musical down south. The show was Grease and Ben was Eugene, while Bella played the part of Cha Cha. The two roles couldn’t […]

We left footsteps in the sand alongside kiwi tracks, on a beach that few people will ever have the privilege of walking on. And honestly every moment of this day was as incredible as that. When I first met Mat and Glenda they told me their wedding would be all about community, and their most […]

A day that was quintessentially them, Jaleesa and Michael kicked off married life with a rural outlook and photos on the farm. And let’s not forget the Ford truck (we’ll call him HH to keep it PC) which has been in Michael’s family for generations and provided a gorgeous backdrop for our photo shoot. This […]
