Always a pleasure capturing the people and organisations doing good work in our region.

Last night we photographed the Queenstown Airport Community Fund grants evening, celebrating the local groups making a real difference across Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago. Over $50,000 was distributed to 15 organisations through the fund.

And because good stories shouldn’t sit around, the full gallery was delivered the next day by our team.

Doggo & Dog Owner Talent Needed!

They say don't work with animals in my field but here we go!😅

Seeking 1 small - medium sized good boy/girl doggo (and their owner) who's super relaxed and happy to be in a busy place in and around a crate. Perhaps a dog that is use to travelling.

The shoot would be part of a "how-to" set of content so a dog that is well behaved and loves a treat for good behaviour.

No locked in dates as of yet, but would be looking at about 3 hours of your time somewhen over the next few weeks.

Shoot me a dm or email if you know of anyone / any doggo that could be a good fit :)

The intimate start to something much bigger. 🌿

Tim & Dhiv’s North Ridge wedding was all about family and home. Small guest list, massive views, and a whole lot of heart.

Growing up in NZ, this landscape is in Tim’s DNA, making it the perfect backdrop for Part One of their wedding journey. Next stop: Malaysia for the big celebration! 🌏✈️

Can we also talk about the tractor exit? 10/10.
