Hi, its me… its been a minute since I’ve done one Hi, its me… its been a minute since I’ve done one of these posts and put my face on here, so here it is a little get to know your photographer. 1. I hate having my photo taken… but I feel that this puts me in a unique position where I totally understand how you and your partner feel and so I am very good at making you feel at ease and can make having your photo taken fun… 2. I’ve been a wedding photographer for 8 years, I’ve honestly lost count of how many beautiful weddings I’ve captured, but its a lot ✨ 3. Coffee ☕️always 4. I love winter.. snow capped mountains with blue sky days ❄️ 5. I will always get over excited if the light is perfect and everything is just right 🌅 6.

t’s time to think about your engagement shoot ✨ I t’s time to think about your engagement shoot ✨ If you’re getting married next summer, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your engagement photos. Engagement shoots are a beautiful chance to celebrate this season of your relationship, get comfortable in front of the camera and create some gorgeous images of the two of you before the wedding day arrives. And honestly? They’re also a great excuse to get dressed up, head somewhere beautiful and spend a little time together. I recommend booking your engagement shoot a few months before the wedding, especially if you’d like to use the images for your invitations, save-the-dates or wedding website. Not sure what to wear, where to go or what to do in front of the camera? Don’t worry — I’ll guide you through it all. If your wedding is coming up, now is the time to get your engagement shoot on the list. 🤍 Check out these photos for the location inspiration ✨ Peony fields…. Or any flower fields really… sunset in the blooms, there’s nothing quite like it 🌸 Dark and moody in the forest with the last of the sunshine filtering though 🌲 On top of the world…. There’s nothing quite like the view and the sunset on top of the Port Hills 🌅 Lakes & Mountain backdrops will always have my heart ⛰️ Sunset in the dunes 🏖️ Golden grasses in the evening light Cherry Blossoms 🌸 book in soon for stunning cherry blossoms in Christchurch For something a little bit different a cafe date in the middle of town 🏙️

POV: You’re on holiday with a photographer. A litt POV: You’re on holiday with a photographer. A little behind the scenes from one of those moments that wasn’t planned at all. ❄️ The light changes and suddenly your relaxing afternoon turns into an impromptu photoshoot. Honestly though, this is exactly how’s some of my favourite images happen. No pressure, no expectations, just seeing the beautiful light and making the most of it. These two were absolute legends for braving the cold ❄️🤍❄️ #christchurchweddingphotographer #snow #tekapo #laketekapo #snowphotoshoot
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. #hoarfrost #twizel #twizelfishing #mackenziecountry
