Brb… off to Fiji! 🏝️⁣
⁣
Today I’m heading to Fiji to photograph a wedding, and honestly, moments like this still don’t feel quite real! ⁣
⁣
Not long ago, I was working long shifts in the hospital, hoping that one day photography might become more than just a hobby. If you’d told me then, that I’d leave radiography behind, build a successful photography business, capture weddings across the UK and New Zealand, and be flown to beautiful places like Fiji to document someone’s special day... I never would have believed you!⁣
⁣
I’m incredibly grateful to every couple who has trusted me with their memories and made this journey possible 🤍⁣
⁣
After the wedding, my husband and I are staying on to celebrate our (three year delayed) honeymoon. Because if you’re going to finally take your honeymoon, Fiji seems like a pretty good place to do it!🍯🌙⁣
⁣
I’ll still be checking messages when I can, but replies may be a little slower than usual, while I swap my office for palm trees and turquoise water 🌴🤿🐠⁣
⁣
Thank you for supporting this little dream of mine. It means more than you know! ✨⁣

“Claire captured every single ounce of joy that our day was filled with. Every photo is filled with genuine love and happiness, and makes us relive all the special moments, and every in-between. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Claire has such a talented eye for detail and knows where to be and when to be there, with an impressive simultaneous ‘fly on the wall’ but ‘part of the fun’ approach.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not to mention how available Claire was throughout the entire lead up to our big day! She went above and beyond to answer any and all questions to help plan our wedding, and always with so much kindness.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As a couple who admittedly were a bit anxious about being in front of a camera, we felt so incredibly comfortable all day and are so grateful we chose Claire!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Every single person who has seen our photos has commented on how perfectly the day and our love was captured. We cannot stop looking at them all!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Claire, from our sneak peeks alone, we cannot thank you enough for these precious keepsakes. You are incredible!”⁣

There’s something really special about the community out here in this corner of Queenstown 🤍⁣
⁣
Getting to meet and photograph so many beautiful families and couples around Jack’s Point & Hanley’s Farm has been such a joy lately.⁣
⁣
Terri and her wonderful crew absolutely nailed this family session down at Homestead Bay, splashing in Lake Wakatipu, collecting all the best sticks and rocks around, and so many giggles along the way ✨⁣
⁣
How lucky are we to have spots like this right on our doorstep! 🏔️⁣
⁣
⁣
If you missed out on my recent sessions, I’ll be opening up more from July onwards, I’d love to capture your crew next. Pop me a message to register your interest 📸⁣
