Returning to New Plymouth to celebrate a special anniversary, Chelsea and Blake bundled up the growing family and dodged the weather for a fun shoot at the park. Riley was a bunch of awesomeness, uber chill Zoe – an angel, and furry brothers Josh and Dave were absolute legends. Thanks for having me back to capture this special day – such a beautiful family xx
The clever team at J.A Russell & Evolve Lighting installed these awesome lights to extend the park use in the evenings. Cheers Phil from Taranaki Skate Boarding for helping pull this together and Ed at Pro-Vision for his stealth drone footage.

Once upon a time in another world far removed …. Simone and Willie got married! They shared their first look on the rolling hills overlooking their beautiful Waverley Farm. Photo adventures followed, then on to their ceremony at Willie’s nearby family homestead.

Here’s a sneak peek into the glorious day of Mr and Mrs Symes…..

Blessed with morning rain and blue skies, Auckland couple Olivia and Sean’s day was truely unforgettable. Arriving in pure Indiana style, Olivia stole the show in the original Temple of Doom Duesenberg Auburn and her gorgeous Made with Love gown. Not to be outdone, Little Sam did a brilliant job of ring bearer – scoring a try enroute, and the personal vows shared shed many a tear. With guests making themselves at home playing games on the lawn and befriending the local equines, we adventured to the Gully and finally on to the beach for some time out…. Topping off the evening with some beautiful food, a bunch of laughs, heartfelt words and some burns on the D floor…. Thanks for the memories xx See below for a sneak peek into the wedding of Mr and Mrs Lester…..

Surprise …….- it’s a wedding!!!!
Planning a trip back to NZ from the UK, Kate and Rosco thought it was the perfect chance to spring a surprise wedding on their nearest and dearest – in true Kate and Rosco style…. After carefully keeping their ceremony in London under wraps (even swearing the air hostesses to secrecy), they planned a catch up party with friends and family with a BBQ shindig in Dad’s backyard. We adventured in the morning to Back Beach for some couple shots and then I joined them again in the arvo for the big reveal. Their energy and happiness was contagious and they absolutely had the best day ever. So much happiness. Thanks for having me along at the start of your happily ever after xx

When Alice contacted me to capture her extended family together over Christmas – I leapt at the chance. There is nothing more special than family, and capturing them together as they are all growing up! Here is a preview into their fun couple of hours hanging at the beach with adventures, hunting and lots of stories….
Two beautiful souls, two beautiful cultures, two beautiful sons…. a wedding dreams are made of on a beautiful windy day blessed by their maunga.
Jimmy and Jamie’s special day was held at home with their nearest and dearest. The ceremony was on the farm and the reception on their front lawn… We laughed and cried (yes I got teary with their vows) and had some adventures on the farm and to the beach. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your day xx
