For the first time, I’ve photographed two weddings for the same couple, and they couldn’t be a more wonderful duo. Before you skim the next few paragraphs, I’m letting you know that the sunset photos at the end of the blog are delicious, so check them out! And yes, that is a life-sized cutout of […]

They say that when you meet the right person, you just know. So it’s no surprise Tash and Sam met, dated, and got married in about a year. These two are clearly made for each other. I spent their wedding day getting to know so much more about them both, and I marvelled at how […]

A country hall, a wonderful couple, two adorable kids and a kickass party = the recipe for the best wedding day! The day started off very relaxed, with the girls cracking open a bottle of bubbles and the lads having a beer on the deck. After a bit of a gag from the boys during […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

My first post-lockdown shoot was a beauty. Penny, Ricki, and Ruby – how lovely this wee family is. Ruby has always loved being in front of the camera and I’m excited that that hasn’t changed! This is the third time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Penny and Ruby, and the second time with Ricki. […]

Caitlin and JB got a stunning sunny Southland day for their celebrations at The Hideaway 201. You couldn’t ask for better weather in March. These two were my last wedding before the Covid-19 lockdown, and what a way to finish the season. He’s a shearer from Ireland, and she’s a Kiwi rousie. Mr and Mrs […]

A DIY masterpiece – Brooke and Aidan’s big day was a celebration of all things family and homegrown. Eucalyptus foraged from the farm was used as a bouquet, and it smelt divine. The farm was a goldmine of beautiful spots for photos! The old farmhouse was a delight to work in – big window seats […]

It was a case of “go big or go home”, and from the first chat we had about Bronwyn and Bryan’s wedding, I knew this was going to be one heck of a party. When these two wonderful humans were planning their big day, they had to make a choice between a small affair with […]
