My style is heartfelt, fresh and natural. Modern but timeless. I capture a mixture of beautiful connections and moments unfolding, the cheering, the tears, the laughter, the dancing and some pre planned and organised photographs to ensure we make the absolute most of the backdrops and surroundings that are available to us.

You will receive some ‘highlight images’ (about 20-30 beautifully edited images) within one week of your Wedding. The remaining images will be all edited and ready for you 6-8 weeks after the Wedding.

Yes! Absolutely. I offer a range of beautiful Heirloom Albums and stunning Framed Fine Art Prints, Wooden Blocks and Canvas Gallery Wraps.

Yes I am available to travel outside Auckland. Travel fees will very depending on where your Wedding is. Please enquire for rates.

I focus purely on taking photographs. However, I do work in with a wonderful Videographer. Brooke from BW Filmography is fantastic see https://www.facebook.com/bwfilmography/ 

We can’t control the weather and if it is raining and blowing a gale on your special day we will embrace whatever weather comes, have some laughs and capture beautiful photographs in spite of this. I have a whole heap of clear umbrella’s that I bring along on the day to use if required. I will also location scout for indoor or sheltered area’s to take beautiful photographs in prior to your big day so that we have some rainy day back up location options if needed.

Yes I do. I make some subtle changes and enhancements in the retouching process. This includes some lighting improvements, colour correction, contrast improvements, adding some warmth to your images, cropping and straightening. The overall goal is to add a little ‘wow’ factor to your images but not to over work them or make them look unnatural or fake.

Wonderful! I will be my pleasure and privilege to capture your Wedding day. Please complete the contact form and I will be in touch.
