I met with a couple last week to discuss their wedding, and the possibility of me photographing it. We talked about food, travel, life paths, missed messages, love, and all kinds of real things before we remembered to talked wedding. When I asked what had lead them to my work, she told me about this photo she had seen on my website. This photo says so much about what I see, and how I document a wedding day. And my kind of people are the ones that see this too. Forever grateful to the people who find me, that see and feel things differently, and put their trust in me to do my thing, my way, on their day. Looking forward to the sprinkling of summer love to document. Let’s keep it real. X

A couple of weeks ago I flew to Georgia (🇬🇪not 🇺🇸) to celebrate my brother getting married. Having being in the wedding biz for over 20 years now, you’d think I might be a little desensitised to it all…. but no, family weddings hit so so different. Absolutely adored my time exploring this beautiful county he now calls home, eating alllll the delicious kai, and drinking the wine he makes. Georgia rules. Love rules. And being an aunty absolutely f’n rules.

A little flash back groom moment from this off-grid wedding in Norfolk last year. I’m currently at the airport about to head to the northern hemisphere again… but this time for a family wedding, so off the tools completely. See you in the spring Aotearoa!

Still one of my favourite wedding photos to date. Last shot of the night. Team skinny dip. And yes, of course I was n**e when I took this photo, and jumped in the ocean straight afterwards with everyone too.
