Family, fun and a whole lot of love šŸ¤
Sara + James’ afternoon wedding was beautifully intertwined with family time. Starting at Sara’s family home before heading down to Milnthorpe Beach to soak up the afternoon light.
A relaxed celebration, full of the people they love, little moments in between, and plenty of fun along the way.
Such a beautiful way to get married.

Curious what a proposal photoshoot can look like? Take a peek at this beautiful stormy-day proposal, where two hearts came together.
Rain, wild weather and a whole lot of love made this proposal one to remember. Sometimes the most unexpected days create the most magical photographs.

Rather than stiffly posing for the camera, I want your family session to feel like an adventure. The laughter, cuddles, cheeky smiles and the moments you might not even notice happening — those are the photographs you’ll treasure.
Golden Bay has such a beautiful backdrop for family memories, the perfect mix of golden sand, turquoise water, rocky coastline and beautiful natural light.
Come as you are, bring the kids, and let's make some memories together.

There’s something pretty magical about being asked to spend your life with your favourite person. šŸ¤
Tōtaranui in the evening light, one of Jesse’s favourite places, and a ring he had got carefully designed and crafted especially for Christina.
He brought her here, found the right moment… and asked her to marry him.
And it was a very happy YES.

Love doesn't always need grand gestures. Sometimes, it's found in the softest moments, this is so true for this couple.

What I love is, you don't need to change the location... it's about changing your perspective.

While photographing this beautiful couple on their wedding day, We took a few steps to the side and captured images from a completely different angle. The result? A totally different feel, from the same story, and a reminder that there is beauty everywhere when we look at things a little differently.

There’s something truly special about a wedding at Totaranui Beach.
It was an absolute privilege to capture this beautiful day with such an amazing couple, surrounded by their wonderful families.
Thank you both for trusting me to tell your story. Wishing you a lifetime of love, adventure, and happiness together. šŸ¤

A new baby has a way of making the whole world feel a little softer, a little slower, and a lot more beautiful. There is something incredibly special about being invited into a family's world during those very first weeks with their new baby. Thankyou Alex and Joel.
