Hello! I'm Laura
I live in South Canterbury, New Zealand, with my husband. We welcomed our little girl into the world in 2022. She is cool, sassy, sweet, and determined, and she completes our family along with our two fur babies. I’m an avid goal setter, list maker, dream house ‘pinner’, vinyl collector, and art fanatic. I’m also a lover of music, sweet, sweet music... The Beatles! Bowie! I swear I was born in the
wrong decade.
Above all, my family and friends are my everything.
I pursued my dream of becoming a photographer in 2013. Photography is not only a passion but an obsession. Understanding light and composition has changed the way I see things. I get ridiculously excited about finding the perfect light.
I pour my heart and soul into photography, and I find so much joy in doing so. I love expressing myself creatively, exploring new and exciting locations, and capturing new beginnings and adventures for couples. It’s a privilege.
It is the best job.
a little bit about me
Living for the moments
behind the lens
Your love, your story, beautifully documented
On your big day, I’m more than just a wedding photographer; I’m your hype woman, hair fixer, buttonhole pinner, dress fluffer, taxi driver, timekeeper, problem solver and more importantly, your friend.
From the moment I arrive in the morning, I am dedicated to capturing the fleeting, heartfelt interactions that make your day uniquely yours.
I'm all about capturing the excitement and nerves during morning preparations to the laughter shared during toasts, the intimate exchanges between you and your partner, and the fun energy of your friends and family.
I am in go-mode all day and leaving no stone unturned, all while encouraging good times, lots of laughs, and letting your personality shine.
my philosophy
"Capturing lifes most beaufiul moments. "
Your photographs should speak honestly about who you are as a couple and give you all the feels for years to come. The magic happens when you're willing to let loose and really be in the moment. That's what I'm all about - the moments.
Not sweating the small stuff.
I aim to capture the fleeting, heartfelt interactions that make your day uniquely yours, all while ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for you and your loved ones.

My goal is to ensure a fun, relaxing, and seamless experience.
My Fav Things
DISNEY Movies STILL Make Me CRY
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”

Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.
