A couple of previews from this gorgeous engagement and maternity session 🥰

It’s been such a special season getting to know Ettiene and Jelleke as they prepare to welcome a new little one and celebrate their wedding, all within the next year. What an exciting chapter of life to be documenting ❤️

I have so many more images from this session to share.

Looking forward to meeting lots of wonderful couples at the Christchurch Wedding Expo on Sunday!

My 2025/2026 wedding season has just come to a close 🥹😭 I’m feeling so grateful for all of the lovely couples I’ve been privileged to work with! Thank you to each and every one of you for inviting me to capture your wedding. It really means so much to me.

This last season has been brimming with truly emotional vows, amazing people from all over the world, the wildest weather, and so many beautiful moments I’m still looking forward to sharing.

I’m also looking forward to slowing down a little over the next few weeks - reflecting on the season, working on wedding albums, and making space for a few special sessions 🥰

Continuing on with Daisy and Luke’s absolutely magical Hobbiton wedding ✨

After sharing their first look, I had to share a few previews from their wedding ceremony in the Handfast Glade - easily one of the most unique ceremony locations I’ve photographed.

Tucked between a vege patch and a lake, with the rolling green hills surrounding them, it genuinely felt like stepping into Middle-earth. One of my favourite things about this wedding was how fully everyone embraced it.

Please, please someone invite me to capture another Hobbiton wedding - this was honestly a dream 🤍 So many more moments I would love to share from this incredible day.

Could this be the sweetest first look in Middle-earth 🥹

Luke & Daisy travelled all the way to Hobbiton to bring their own fantasy love story to life - and it truly felt like stepping straight into Middle-earth for the day 🤍

From the flower crowns and medieval-inspired details to Luke’s incredible handmade cloak and Daisy’s gorgeous dress complete with flowing cape sleeves, every part of this wedding was filled with whimsy, magic and gorgeous details. Their guests fully committed to the theme, the Green Dragon Inn was glowing, and even a piwakawaka appeared to take in their first look.

These are just a few moments from their morning - I cannot wait to share more from this completely magical, Lord of the Rings inspired day ✨

Congrats Mr and Mrs Newell! On Saturday we celebrated with an intimate rooftop reception overlooking the city, filled with great people, music, and such a good atmosphere.

Mike and Nittaya’s reception was full of laughs and fun moments, incredible food, dancing, and the most beautiful floral installations by Kim Chan, including a stunning floral entryway and floral wall.

We slipped away for a few portraits by the river before heading back into the celebrations, where Brendan from Boogie Beats kept the dance floor going all night long.

Kristy & Tom 🤍

From their dedicated ring bearer solemnly performing his duties to the tears that flowed as these two made their vows, this day was meaningful and heartfelt from start to finish.

Kristy walked up the aisle to her aunty playing the violin, while her niece and nephew sang during the signing, to the Chinese tea ceremony afterward - it was so lovely to see the way their family and friends surrounded them throughout the day. After their ceremony we headed out to Coes Ford for photos and caught some beautiful soft light.

Scott and Jess 🤍

A few frames from their engagement session out at Lake Lyndon and Castle Hill.

We started by the lake, then headed up to Castle Hill as the light softened - couldn’t have asked for better conditions.

Such a beautiful part of Canterbury to spend an evening.

Something I’m really loving seeing more of this season is brides growing and creating their own bouquets 💐

Alicia did exactly that, growing some herself, with her mum and aunts bringing more, and then her and her bridesmaids all spending time together making the bouquets and arrangements.

It added such a personal, grounded feel to the day.
