Guys! I’ve been a little quiet over here in social land lately with winter weddings, theatre life, flower farm tidy ups and life in general … but I’m still here and thinking it’s probably time for a little photography update šŸ“·

So, while I’ve been quiet, my diary hasn’t šŸ˜‚

September 2026 wedding photography - FULL
October 2026 wedding photography - FULL
February 2027 - nearly full
March 2027 - FULL

There’s still some availability through November, December this year and January next year, plus a handful of dates scattered elsewhere, but things are definitely starting to fill up.

So if you’ve been thinking about wedding photos, now’s probably a good time to flick me a message.

No fake ā€œONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT!!!ā€ urgency here šŸ˜‚
Just a genuine heads-up that apparently I should occasionally tell the internet I’m still a photographer. šŸ–¤

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing some gorgeous humans for the latest shows at Levin Little Theatre next month. Hard to choose favs as there were so many, but here are a few.

For the first time ever… I think I have more colour photos in my carousel than black and white 😱 … I’ve changed 🤣

Melissa & Harry. Your photos bring me so much joy and every single snap looks like a piece of art (it’s not weird to have someone else’s wedding photos on your wall as art right? Asking for a friend 🤣jk). Seriously though, the most beautiful day celebrating love.

Thank you both for trusting me to capture your beautiful backyard wedding šŸ’•

If the bottom of your wedding dress looks like this after your wedding, congratulations… you did it right šŸ˜Ž

šŸ’• Melissa & Harry šŸ’•

Thank you for trusting me with your memories on Saturday.

The way you two looked at each other when you thought no one was watching, the unapologetic authenticity… the splits šŸ˜³šŸ¤­ā€¦ šŸ„°šŸ„¹šŸ’• What.a.day.

It was an absolute privilege to witness and document it all.

Here’s to a lifetime of adventure, laughter, and occasionally needing to shake grass out of your clothes šŸ–¤šŸ“ø

Hi, I’m Kristy.

I genuinely just love being around weddings. The people, the atmosphere, the little moments happening in the background while everybody’s busy actually living the day.

So most of the time I’m just quietly wandering around with cameras hanging off me, documenting things as they naturally unfold. Nothing too stiff or overdone. Just your day as it felt.

I’ve never really wanted weddings to feel like one long photoshoot. I’d rather you actually enjoy yourselves while I notice the weird little in-between moments you didn’t even realise were happening at the time.

Also yes, the floral Doc Marten’s are always involved šŸ˜ŽšŸŒø

If you’re after relaxed wedding photography that feels more like your actual memories and less like performing for a camera, let’s chat šŸ–¤

It’s always so hard to pic my favs from a wedding album of 400+ šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ¤Ŗ Plus, y’all know I’d just choose ALL the black and white if I could 🤣 But, I try to add some colour on here too, for you. I just love the photos with all the emotions of the day, I can’t help it. They just give me all the feels.

Thank you again to Nardia & Jayden for trusting this little Kiwi gal with your gorgeous Australian wedding šŸ–¤

This is what it looks like when I’m photographing a wedding.

A lot of bending, leaning, crouching, disappearing into corners I probably shouldn’t fit in, sometimes trying to stay invisible, while also being everywhere at once.

People see the final photos and think it’s about angles or gear or luck. It’s not really. It’s reading a room fast enough to know when to move… and when to vanish. It’s having eyes in the back of your head so you never miss a photo opportunity.

I was lucky to have my bestie of sooooo many years (we’ve been friends since we were 5!) helping me out in Australia last weekend. She snapped some rare behind the scenes footage of my awesome photography face 🤣 Somehow, she looks way less feral than I do 🤣
