How amazingly peaceful and magical is this landsca How amazingly peaceful and magical is this landscape…. 

I took a week off last week and as luck would have it, timed it perfectly with the most epic snowfall in Tekapo, I honestly can’t say I’ve seen that much snow in a very long time, then on our last morning we were treated to this hoar frost in Twizel, apparently it’s notoriously hard to predict as it has to be the perfect set of circumstances for it to happen. Temperatures below freezing, air highly saturated with moisture and no wind ❄️

Bucket list photos ticked off.

Dreaming of a wedding that feels like you’ve stepp Dreaming of a wedding that feels like you’ve stepped into the Tuscan countryside... without leaving Christchurch? 🍂✨

This beautiful autumn celebration was filled with warm terracotta tones, seasonal blooms, and the kind of golden afternoon light photographers dream about.

One of my favourite parts of the day? The couple chose to do a private first look and vows before the ceremony. It gave them a quiet moment together before the celebrations began, meant we could capture their portraits in the gorgeous autumn colours, and allowed them to spend cocktail hour celebrating with their guests instead of being away for photos.

If you’re planning your wedding, a first look is definitely something worth considering—it can completely change the flow of your day while still giving you those romantic, editorial portraits.

I’ve shared more from this stunning Tuscan-inspired wedding, along with why autumn is one of my favourite seasons for weddings in Christchurch, over on the blog.

Head to the link in my bio to read the full story.

Not every wedding day feels soft and slow and this Not every wedding day feels soft and slow and this is what this shoot was all about, it’s your day… make it your own

Some feel electric. Like you’re running on adrenaline, stealing glances across crowded rooms, dancing before the sun has fully disappeared, and wishing the day would stretch on forever.

Those are the moments I’m chasing.

Not just what it looked like.
What it felt like.

The blur of movement.
The noise.
The anticipation.
The chaos that somehow makes perfect sense when you’re in it.

Because years from now, I don’t want you to just remember your wedding day.

I want you to feel it all over again.
