Curious what a proposal photoshoot can look like? Take a peek at this beautiful stormy-day proposal, where two hearts came together.
Rain, wild weather and a whole lot of love made this proposal one to remember. Sometimes the most unexpected days create the most magical photographs.

Rather than stiffly posing for the camera, I want your family session to feel like an adventure. The laughter, cuddles, cheeky smiles and the moments you might not even notice happening — those are the photographs you’ll treasure.
Golden Bay has such a beautiful backdrop for family memories, the perfect mix of golden sand, turquoise water, rocky coastline and beautiful natural light.
Come as you are, bring the kids, and let's make some memories together.

A beautiful reception for Sara & James at the Onekaka Hall 🤍

There’s something pretty magical about being asked to spend your life with your favourite person. 🤍
Tōtaranui in the evening light, one of Jesse’s favourite places, and a ring he had got carefully designed and crafted especially for Christina.
He brought her here, found the right moment… and asked her to marry him.
And it was a very happy YES.

Love doesn't always need grand gestures. Sometimes, it's found in the softest moments, this is so true for this couple.

What I love is, you don't need to change the location... it's about changing your perspective.

While photographing this beautiful couple on their wedding day, We took a few steps to the side and captured images from a completely different angle. The result? A totally different feel, from the same story, and a reminder that there is beauty everywhere when we look at things a little differently.

There’s something truly special about a wedding at Totaranui Beach.
It was an absolute privilege to capture this beautiful day with such an amazing couple, surrounded by their wonderful families.
Thank you both for trusting me to tell your story. Wishing you a lifetime of love, adventure, and happiness together. 🤍

A new baby has a way of making the whole world feel a little softer, a little slower, and a lot more beautiful. There is something incredibly special about being invited into a family's world during those very first weeks with their new baby. Thankyou Alex and Joel.

It was such an honour to photograph this beautiful local family for Woman’s Weekly, sharing the inspiring story of Jack Davis — a courageous cancer survivor whose strength, resilience, and positivity shines so brightly.
A truly special family session filled with love, connection, and heartfelt moments. Thank you for trusting me to capture your story. 💛
"When the Weekly first shared Jack Davis’ story in 2017, the Tākaka father-of-four was fighting for his life. With a terminal cancer diagnosis and time running out, Jack and his wife Sally-Anne were desperately fundraising for an extremely expensive immunotherapy treatment that would eventually set them back $200,000.

Now, against all odds, Jack sits smiling in their tranquil Golden Bay home, still processing the unthinkable – for now, he’s been given the all-clear.
