I’ve know Philippe through church and mutual friends for a number of years. When he found a beautiful blonde Aussie girl at the Melbourne campus of our church (with the help of some matchmaking pastors) it seemed like the perfect pair! He moved to Melbourne and I met Tiff one Summer holiday at the beach […]

Shannon and Jesse’s beautiful wedding at The Boatshed Karapiro on the blog today! I’ve known Shannon and her sister since our Hamilton youth group days so it was such a privilege to photograph her all these years later. Shannon and Jesse went to school together and pretty much grew up together surrounded by their beautiful […]

I’m excited to share this beautiful Autumn shoot with you today. It was a complete team effort with a bunch of incredibly talented vendors (you can find all their links below) and a wonderful couple – Kylee and Israel.

A beautifully elegant wedding for the blog today, with a pink dress and a ‘Downtown Abbey-like’ location. Brie and Brenton’s gorgeous wedding was held on a cloudy/rainy Spring day in Hamilton. Pulling up to Brenton’s Mum’s house, where the girls were getting ready, was like driving into the English countryside. They had worked on the […]

Auckland Engagement Party turned Surprise Wedding! When Kayla messaged me asking if I’d like to be a part of their surprise wedding I got a little excited. They had sent out save-the-date’s for their “engagement party” and decided, why wait, let’s pull together a wedding instead, and so the orchestrating began… Some may have been […]

I have the privilege of second-shooting for a number of photographers over the wedding season when I am available. It’s always great to work with others, learn from them and help get a bit of extra coverage and a different perspective of the wedding day. I get the experience of shooting at many more venues and […]
