Kate & Rosco
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

Hanging with the Family….
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….
Abbey + Matt
Introducing Mr and Mrs Mills! Wed on the pretty lawn at Openlands, Matt married Abbey in front of their nearest and dearest on his family land. Abbey glowed in her gorgeous Amaline Vitale gown, and the Mountain was out – blessing them under the sunshine. We adventured around the gardens and their on-site church, and then on to the beach and Pihama Lavender for the reception – where we managed to capture some breathtaking light on sundown. A perfect day full of emotions, sunlight, laugher and tears. xx
