The other evening I met up with a really lovely family from Hong Kong in Piha, Auckland. Eva had been hoping for dreamy golden light but it was cloudy and grey.
Then the sun came out and showed us a beautiful sunset and we all went into the water :)
Here's one photo for now.
On Friday I photographed the wedding of Laura and Chris in Mangawhai Heads, more photos to come xx
A wee sneak peek from Dave and Kirsty's wedding on Saturday x
I've been meaning to write a 2014 post, better late than never! Thank you to all the super lovely people I met last year through photography. I am so happy to have been able to photograph many wonderful weddings, hear a lot of tear jerking speeches and witness several interesting dance floor antics.
I travelled quite a bit throughout the year which was amazing, in New Zealand and overseas. I'm so grateful!

In September I went to Phuket, Thailand to photograph Jemima and Ben's elopement. I'm so happy to have met them and their lovely daughter Holly, such a super lovely family.
The elopement ceremony was held at the Indigo Pearl Resort, which is a maze of interesting tropical walkways and beautiful rooms. We walked around the resort afterwards for photos and then into a motorbike tuk tuk to head to the beach.
Once at the beach, Jemima, Ben and Holly jumped into the sea and into a boat while I photographed from the side. This was all perfect till a sneaky jellyfish decided to sting me! Feeling pretty awkward I walked back to Indigo Pearl for a nurse to treat me. Thank you guys for being so nice and patient!! Luckily when all was well again we went back out there and the light was amazing and glowing so we hung out at the beach for a while before heading to an amazing restaurant only accessed by raft!
Congratulations Jemima and Ben, so glad I met you both and Holly! x
Elaina and Anthony were married last Saturday in Christchurch at Trent's Estate Vineyard, such a beautiful day! x

On Friday I photographed Brydie and John's beautiful wedding in Orton Bradley Park. This is the lovely couple in the evening in front of their sweet reception venue.
These guys are so lovely, I'm so happy to have been there with them on their big day.
This is the second time I have shot in this lovely wee old school house. About 3 years ago I photographed an assignment for Frankie Magazine about a workshop being held there. I recommend it as a reception venue as it is just so pretty on the inside and out! For smaller groups only as is quite intimate.
More photos to come!
Last week I was in Phuket photographing the elopement of Jemima and Ben. They were there with their adorable daughter Holly.

More photos to come x

Last night my good friend Mary, my partner Chris and I raced up to the hills to do a few quick photos as the sun was going down. Such a beautiful view and so nice to be outside in the fresh air x

Hello! I have just changed my website this week to the one you are looking at :) I am still importing past blog posts and will be adding new ones as well.
In the meantime here's a photo of a wee rooster called Fluffy Cheeks (because there are never too many cute animal photos on the internet) xxxx
