Blending timeless artistry with a documentary style

Services  /  24.

Documenting your love story

I’ve had the privilege of traveling throughout New Zealand and capturing some truly amazing weddings over the years. 

My style is influenced by documentary photography. I strive to blend timeless and editorial styles, capturing both the perfect and the imperfect. 

Ultimately, I want your photos to evoke emotion and reflect the true essence of your day. I like to capture your day as it naturally unfolds in an artistic and cinematic manner. Therefore creating images that tell your story; the genuine moments and emotions.

My couples receive a finished product that is authentic and meaningful. 

How I show up for you is important to me. I want to connect with you and your vision. Being a photographer is not just about turning up and taking photos. I give each couple my all and it’s because of this that I only take on a limited number of weddings each year. I aim to produce the highest quality work that documents your day as it was and how it felt. 

When you look back at your photos, I want you to see yourselves and feel the memories.



Wedding Collections start  at  $3500

35mm Film Photography

Drunk on love, joy and happy tears

Going back to where it all started, film has now made it's way back to me in a big way.

Film photography offers a timeless way to capture moments, inviting us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us. By incorporating film into my wedding photography as well as my other services, It brings a fresh perspective to light, shadow, colours... there's just something so special about it! 

This beloved medium allows me to create images that feel both nostalgic and vibrant, ensuring that film will always play a significant role in my work. All of my film photographs are captured on 35mm, delivering a classic aesthetic that enhances the storytelling of your wedding day.

faq

where are you based and are you willing to travel?

I am based in South Canterbury, New Zealand. I travel a lot for weddings, and am happy to do so. For overseas weddings, I will give you an all inclusive quote that covers everything. 

What are your fees?

Intimate weddings start from $3500. For information on my prices and packages, please get in touch BELOW or on my CONTACT page.

What is your turn around time?

6-8 weeks with Sneak peeks and slideshow prior to this.

Do you use a second shooter?

I mostly shoot solo. However, there are plenty of epic moments at weddings and I try my best to capture most of them, a second shooter is another professional photographer that I bring along with me to help capture the bits in between, when I cannot be in two places at once.

Whats your editing process?

A good image starts with a strong photograph taken in-camera. My photographs aren’t manipulated; instead, they are thoughtfully refined to enhance their natural beauty and emotion. Over the years, I have developed my editing style, characterised by tones and colours that remain true to life. I don't alter the way you look, only temporary things like blemishes and bruises. 

How do we book?

Ready to make this official? Woohoo! Simply email me to let me know the exciting news. A $1000 deposit invoice will then be issued to secure your wedding date and I'll send you a questionnaire to organise our next steps. Once received back- we are locked and loaded!
