12th November, 2022 A week’s worth of prayer by MANY had the rain clouds clear a mere 3 minutes prior to Anna’s first look with her dad and brothers, and right as Jono arrived at their Patumahoe venue, Ginagin. The rain stayed away for the rest of Anna & Jono’s...
5th November, 2022 I’ve known Molly since she first came to know Jesus, a number of years ago at an Easter Camp. Molly and I have similar stories of our journey to faith, and that has made Molly extra special to me (helped by the fact that she’s one of the...

11th September 2022 If you’d told me I’d photograph a guy who considers kissing in front of a camera a ‘reward’ for his modelling, I wouldn’t have believed you. But Oh My Goodness then along came Sam! What an absolute dream of a pair to...

10th April, 2022 On our way out to Bethells Beach for Alysha & Callum’s engagement session, I suggested that we could “get a little wet” at the end, if they were up for it. I can safely say that I’ve NEVER had a couple get so soaking wet...

22nd June, 2020 It’s the morning of your wedding! Hopefully all the little details are taken care of and you’re relaxing with your best friends while your hair is being done. If you haven’t ticked every item off your to-do list, it’s time to hand it over to someone...
15th June 2020 I photograph a bride’s details in a way that matches and showcases the style of the entire wedding day. So, in some ways, the details set the stage for the look of your whole wedding, and I love having time to stylise and shoot everything from the...

Japan. The least photographed leg of our journey… sorry! (But how good is the view from our bedroom window at a friend’s house – pictured above!) Most of you probably don’t know that Tim lived in Osaka for 3 months back when he was 18. He...
Let me just start out saying that I have a love-hate relationship with Italy. It was hands down the most frustrating, difficult place to travel and I lost my mind at the lack of organisation / general chaos so many times. There were no systems, no logic and hardly...
France! We spent the most time in France out of any other country, as I was keen for a mid-trip relax in Provence to regain our energy before setting off again. I had a bit of fun using my high-school French, which meant we didn’t have any trouble communicating...
Switzerland. One of my favourite places of our whole trip! I felt like I was living in a fairytale for the short two days we were there, with all those turrets and glorious mountains. We drove from Triberg (Germany), down to Lucerne. It was a stunning drive, and gave...

7th January,2020 Nina & Seb. Where do I start?! Perhaps I start by mentioning how intimidating it is writing a blog post for someone who writes for a living… or that we were SO lucky getting such beautiful glow on an over-cast summer evening… or...

27th December 2018 On a late December evening, Amy, John & myself headed to Point Chevalier Beach for their sunset engagement session! As you will see, we had a bunch of fun hanging out together, and I was in my element creating big epic beach shots! Things that...
13th April 2019Where do I even start with describing Gabbi & Reuben’s wedding at The Boat House- Riverhead?! Firstly, these two have been walking through some serious challenges in the lead-up to this day, in the form of a recent kidney transplant and a number...
23rd March 2019 Tracy & Andrew tied the knot at Castaways Resort on Saturday, and I cannot do justice to the incredible day it was! These two have the best story of how they came to meet… Tracy was a figure skating coach, who had Andrew’s two younger sisters in...

Nic and Capri first met on a train to Salzburg whilst on their OE’s, realising very quickly that they wanted to be in each other’s lives. It’s one of those stories that seems so unlikely, yet so very ‘meant to be’ at the same time; bringing a Kiwi boy and American...
In the far away paradise of Rarotonga, these two pulled off the most relaxed, fun Island wedding! Brie and Steve met whilst travelling, and have enjoyed exploring the world together ever since, so it made perfect sense that they would have a destination wedding!...

In typical Auckland fashion, the forecast was for thunderstorms… in February. It had been pouring with rain for the entire morning of Matt and Kelsey’s outdoor Kumeu wedding, right up until the moment I pulled up outside the private homestead that would...
