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!

I’ve had a lovely whirlwind few days of photographing friends and food and wine, friends who make food and wine, and friends who serve food and wine. (Will share some of that later in the week….) But I was reminded (by a friend) of this excellent photo when catered a wedding I photographed, and my pal asked if I needed a photo of him, and then this is what he did.

I really will take just about any photo that’s asked of me on a wedding. Go on, just you try and beat this little number… (disclaimer: half the guests at this wedding worked in Burlesque..)

After a bit of a hiatus, I’m going to get back to sharing more mahi on here. Got a whole lotta love, kai, parties and various other bits to get out in the ether… stand by.

First up; some lovely lovers on Waiheke island earlier this year.
