So excited to share Elysha & Scott's film - this day was a blast to be a part of and packed with good times! Between Te Rewa Rewa Bridge and the Fitzroy coast, locations for the day were unreal and set the perfect backdrop for their wedding - especially at golden hour!

It was a sunshine blasted day for Del & Jason's wedding at The Bungalow! Getting ready on-site, their first look was shared as Del walked down the aisle and after vows they spent the afternoon mingling, taking opportunities for epic photos around the grounds. Here are a few favourites - so happy for these two!

Holden or Ford? Jorja & Phoenix chose each other over their whip preferences to unite friends and family for an epic coastal wedding. After a first look and portraits in Lucy's Gully we went to their family home for a shoreline ceremony then off to The Bungalow to bring in the night. With a gender reveal/first kiss combo and some epic golden hour moments the day was unreal to photograph. Here is a sneak peek!

Terrific day with Danielle & Seamus at Waiongana Gardens! They had a woodland ceremony in the shade followed by drinks, chats, and ice creams. We took some portrait photos with the wedding party in the gardens then headed off to Gusto for the reception. So much fun with these two - here are a few favourites from their wedding!

Jugglers? Donuts? Alpacas? Wedding! Festive vibes throughout Anna & Aidan's day as they kicked off with a first look transposition trick followed by portraits at Lake Mangamahoe. Ten Acres' fluffle of alpacas welcomed them for their ceremony leading up to a reception with dinner, drinks, dancing and whimsy on full display. Yo-yo's, batons, along with thrilling theatrics made the night one to remember!

Incredible day photographing + filming Leiana & Josh's wedding! They met for a garden ceremony at Winlea Acre tying the knot with family and friends before portraits in the redwoods at Lake Mangamahoe. After an entrance at Plymouth International they cut the cake then kept the party flowing deep in to the night with drinks and dancing. So happy for these two!

Amazing wedding at Fitzroy Golf Club with Elysha & Scott! They shared a first look at Te Rewa Rewa Bridge before heading to a coastal overlook near the greens for their vows. Drinks, dancing and nachos ensued topped off by an epic champagne soaked sunset. Excited to share their photos and video - here is a sneak peek!

Fun wedding at Pukekura Park with Scott & Sarah! The girls got done up at Sábin while the guys had a few at King and Queen before their ceremony with Weddings By Emily. Feels kept flowing with The Shaker Tin and ABC Catering delivering on the drinks + dining as Avalanche took the stage at Bowl of Brooklands to send everyone off in a night of dancing. So good to photograph their day!
