Sarah and Jeremy | Brackenridge Estate wedding | Lifestyle Photography

Sarah and Jeremy got married at the peak of Martinborough’s summery goodness. Brackenridge Estate was, as always, a total delight. But the real joy was found in their families. I had such a blast photographing everyone together at the reception. Everyone was so happy and supportive, and the speeches were so lovely. Sarah and Jeremy…

Abby and Shaun Married | Fox Glove Wellington Waterfront | Lifestyle Photography

Abby and Shaun were married in town and spent time at Island Bay, in the vicious wind, braving a summer squall, hanging out with their friends, taking in the vista and enjoying those precious few hours between having just gotten married, and being celebrated at their awesome reception at Foxglove, Wellington Waterfront. It was such a…

  • Pavlos KaralisNovember 3, 2015 - 11:34 am

    Beautiful layered imagery; from lighting, to reflections, to depth, you have a knack for sewing together foreground and background.

  • Marc CuracaoNovember 10, 2015 - 11:14 pm

    Beautiful work. Love the portrait of the bride by the window!

  • Andreas - freshphotography MelbourneDecember 28, 2015 - 1:47 pm

    Love these. Some wonderful creative photographs in there. I love the first and second … it’s great to see very dark photo and then straight away followed by a very bright/white picture. The combination works. Well done.

    Some great processing and love the use of light. My absolute favourite is the one on the stairways … (bride and groom walking down). The composition just works.

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…

Jen and Jeff | Sudbury’s Talking Horse’s Farm in Te Horo

I posted a little sneak peak of Jen and Jeff’s wedding after it featured on Stuff’s wedding of the week earlier this year. Then winter happened. All that supposed downtime actually turned out to be another busy time and I haven’t been able to do nearly as much blogging as I’d hoped! So, here’s the promised full…

Joy and Darren Sneak Peek | Wellington Botanical Gardens Wedding Photographer | Old Saint Pauls

It’s always a bit nervewracking trying to squeeze an entire studio shoot into 45 minutes or so between a wedding ceremony and a reception, but when you have a glorious 2 hours up your sleeve, and a videographer who’s on the same page, the whole thing becomes the best day evaaaar. I’m a light chaser,…
