Ten years, two beautiful children, another little one on the way... and a very special question. 🤍

Marlon and Lauren have been together since college, and after a decade of building a life and family together, Marlon decided it was time to make things official.

He wanted somewhere scenic and iconic for his surprise proposal, and Deer Park Heights at sunset was just beautiful.

What made it even more special was having their two children and Lauren’s dad there to share the moment with them.

I love that their kids will have these photographs to look back on one day. Not just of Mum and Dad getting engaged, but of themselves being part of it too.

And after the proposal, we had a little time for some family photographs with those gorgeous mountain views behind us.

Marlon sent me the loveliest message this morning after receiving their photos:

“We absolutely love the photos and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We’ll cherish these memories for years to come.”

I think that’s what I love most about photographing people. These moments become part of a family’s story, and the photographs only grow more precious as the years go by.

Congratulations, Marlon and Lauren. What a beautiful little family you have, with so much to look forward to. 🤍

Spring weather is definitely keeping us on our toes here in Queenstown! 🌦️

Between the wind, rain and ever-changing skies, there have still been some truly magical moments. The kind that remind you that even when the weather has other plans, proposal dreams can come to life in the most beautiful ways.

A huge congratulations to Jake and Lolli! ❤️ What a special moment to be part of.

If you’re dreaming of a Queenstown proposal, whether it’s a romantic lakeside moment, a mountain-top adventure or a helicopter proposal with incredible views, I’d love to help you bring it to life and capture every little detail.

Planning a surprise proposal in Queenstown? Get in touch and let’s start dreaming up something special!

Rain on your wedding day doesn’t have to mean changing your plans. 🤍

Jaime and Jocelyn embraced every moment of their Queenstown elopement, umbrellas at the ready and hearts full of excitement. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful break in the weather for their intimate ceremony, surrounded by the incredible mountain scenery.

Rescheduling was never even a consideration. They simply leaned into the adventure, trusted the day, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Sometimes it’s the unexpected moments that make your wedding story even more memorable.

If you’re dreaming of a Queenstown elopement, don’t let the forecast scare you. Some of the most magical days happen when you embrace whatever nature has in store.

I am that photographer...

The one who runs your session not to the minute, but until I’m genuinely happy with what we’ve created together.

“Just one more photo” could probably be my catchphrase. And honestly, even then, it still never feels like enough.

This morning, I spent sunrise with Shiv and Chitra for their maternity session. We wandered through some of my favourite spots, chased beautiful light, and created the kind of images that make me fall in love with this job all over again.

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 14 years, and I still get nervous before every shoot. Excited too. I don’t think that feeling will ever go away.

I love the people this job brings into my life and the stories they trust me to tell.

Whether it’s a proposal, an elopement, a wedding, a growing family, or a maternity session like this one, I get a real kick out of creating a little piece of history for my clients.

And if I’m honest, I’m just as excited as they are to see the photos.

Of course I couldn’t wait to share this sneak peek for Shiv and Chitra 🤍

Some wedding moments don’t need an audience.

Just Dakota and Reagan, standing beside the lake at 12 Mile Delta, sharing their vows, exchanging rings, and soaking in a moment that was entirely their own.

Before the celebrations, before the hugs, before the pizza and party with their favourite people at Winnie’s, they carved out this little piece of the day just for them.

A reminder that there is no right way to get married. Whether you’re surrounded by 100 guests or it’s just the two of you on a lakeshore, your wedding day should feel like you.

Your day. Your way.

Hope you love these little sneak peeks from this beautiful Queenstown elopement 🤍

Some shoots I just know will stay with me forever.

Watching Matthew and Casper ask Stella to share their surname during their family photoshoot was one of those moments. ❤️

What started as a beautiful morning documenting their family turned into something even more special. The love, surprise and pure joy on Stella’s face when she realised what was happening is something I’ll never forget.

I may have shed a few tears behind the camera myself. 🥹

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do so much. Not just taking photos, but preserving memories that become part of a family’s story forever. ✨

Quite possibly the easiest yes she ever said 🥹❤️🥰

Most people think being “good at photos” is about knowing what to do. It’s not.

It’s about how it feels when you’re in the moment.

The photos you love most won’t be the perfectly posed ones - they’ll be the ones where you forgot I was even there 🫶

He told me she doesn’t love being the centre of attention.

So instead of anything big or crowded…
we planned something just for them.

A quiet moment, high above it all.
Just the two of them, surrounded by mountains -
with nothing else to think about but each other.

No pressure.
No audience.
Just space to be fully present in it.

Because the most meaningful proposals aren’t just about how they look…

They’re about how they feel ✨

Marijanna and Teera’s Queenstown elopement ✨

One of those days that just felt easy in the best way - quiet moments, big views, and a whole lot of love.

I managed to fit in a couple of pretty special elopements, a portrait session, and a few proposals before heading away, and this was one I wanted to share a little bit more of.

Now I’m one week into Bali life, with a little more time to slow down, reflect, and soak it all in before I’m back in Queenstown next week.

I’m still here behind the scenes - answering emails, taking bookings, and (for once) actually up to date with editing 🤭

Keep an eye on my stories if you’re interested in Bali holiday spam ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about your own Queenstown elopement, now’s a pretty good time to start the conversation ♡
