Good light amongst the shadows always feeds my soul ⚡️

Somewhere between the mountains and the lake, we made a few memories worth keeping.

A little glimpse of what I’ve been quietly creating lately - guiding couples through some of New Zealand’s most beautiful landscapes and capturing their adventure as it unfolds.

Part love story, part Kiwi magic.

More soon.

I’ve been spending a lot more time in Tekapo lately - and I’m so excited to dive into more Lake Tekapo / Lake Pukaki / Aoraki Mount Cook elopements over the coming months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few frames from Jade + John’s beautiful elopement along the shores of Lake Tekapo a few weeks ago. It was such a special day, shared with their closest people, and the weather gave us a little bit of everything. Honestly, it was magic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love teaming up with — so if an elopement around the Tekapo area if this is something you’ve been dreaming up, get in touch and we can help make it happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big congratulations again to Jade + John on such an awesome day 🤍

What a beautiful way to wrap up my wedding season - celebrating these two on Saturday in Christchurch, surrounded by sunshine, love, and the most amazing company.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The final wedding of the season always feels a little bittersweet, but Sarah and Jared’s day was such a special one to finish on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve also been a little quiet on here while celebrating a big birthday recently, but I have so many beautiful weddings, couples, and moments to share with you all. Stay tuned - I’ll get around to posting them soon!

Chloe + Braydon's beautiful Wanaka wedding is now live on the blog. Check it out!

With Chloe and Braydon’s Wanaka wedding falling just days before Christmas, the whole day felt like a warm homecoming - friends and family arriving already in the holiday spirit. Their first look beneath the Hawea Tree at Lake Hawea - a favourite spot from their holiday visits over the years - it ...

Hey look! I finally did a blog post....

Surrey and Mark brought everyone together in just four weeks, shaped by tender family circumstances, and somehow the day that unfolded was gentle, deliberate and full of care.They were married at Craighead Chapel, a place that felt both timeless and intimate for them to exchange vows. The day wasn.....

The final touches, the helping hands, the deep breaths, and the love in every glance from the people who have loved her the longest - all part of the beauty found in the quiet moments before the day begins. It’s one of the reasons I love documenting this part of a wedding day, because some of the most meaningful and emotional moments happen right at the very beginning.

Ellie and Whitney, making the most of epic light like it was scheduled just for them.

That’s the thing about engagement shoots. Theres no pressure. No expectations. Just a little time together where you can be free- move, laugh, get a little adventurous - whatever shows up that day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And somewhere in the middle of it, we do the important part: we get to know each other. How you naturally fall into each other. What it feels like when the camera is there- and when you forget it is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when the big day comes, it doesn’t feel like a stranger documenting it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels like we’ve already been here before.
