Zoe and Steve | Martinborough Wedding Photography | Style Me Pretty

Zoe and Steve were married in Martinborough on a beautiful day, at Zoe’s parent’s house. Clients often ask me what my favorite venue is to photograph, and by a country mile, it’s your backyard. I love the story and history, the beautiful touches that represent family life, just everything about photographing a wedding that takes…

Cordelia and Sylvester | Sneak Peek | Mt Victoria Wedding Photography | Wellington

I’m having the best time right now putting together album designs, and sifting through all the Queensberry options for the awesome couples whose wedding I shot last summer. Right now I’ve just started in on Sylvester and Cordelia’s album. They were one of a handful of couples who had to battle the elements this summer…

Richard and Jasmine | Sneak Peek | Brackenridge Wedding Photography

I’m still alive, I swear! I’m just seriously focused on getting all my wonderful clients their wedding photos on time, and it’s super that-time-of-year. But in an effort to blow the dust off this blog that has been so unloved this summer as I’ve been out in the sun photographing nothing but awesome couples holding…

Lee & Dwight | Sydney Wedding at Montrose Berry Farm | Sutton Forest

When Lee and Dwight told me about what they had planned for their day, I almost pinched myself. It’s not every wedding I get to photograph lion dancers before the tea ceremony, an open air dance floor under the stars, and a massive sparkler exit. They married at Montrose berry farm, the most delightfully sweet venue…

  • Damian BurcherFebruary 20, 2014 - 12:17 pm

    These are outstanding, you nailed every stage of the day. Too many great photos to list them all but particular favourites are the silhouette of them framed in the door, the one of the girl spinning in the hallway, and my absolute favourite the black and white group shot just as they are getting themselves in position, perfect moment.
