What a summer it's been. 💛
I've had the absolute privilege of travelling across Manawatū and Hawke's Bay — and beyond — to document love stories in some of the most beautiful places in New Zealand. From the Pohangina Valley in the Manawatū, across to Dannevirke, all the way to Napier!
From private farms to river and beach elopements, from stunning old churches to favourite venues to woodsheds to hidden gems — every single couple has reminded me why I love this work so much.
I'm so grateful. Grateful for the couples who trusted me with their day. Grateful for the venues that opened their doors.
Grateful for the light, the fun, the tears, the vibes, the quiet glances. Wedding photography isn't just about capturing images — it's about witnessing love, and family, and memories. Here's to a summer I'll never forget!!!
Peak House, Valley D Vine Restaurant and Function Centre. Ngāpuke Lodge Pohangina Valley, Pohangina Heights, Camp Rangi Woods, No5 Cafe & Larder, Backpaddock Lakes, Pukehoe Church, Eskdale Church, farms in Dannevirke and Tikokino, rivers, beaches & everything in between!
So if you're newly engaged and quietly wondering who's going to document your day — let's talk. I'd absolutely LOVE to be part of your story 😊
