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. 🍁 Would you choose a first look, or wait until the aisle? Tell me below! #ChristchurchWeddingPhotographer #ChristchurchWedding #CanterburyWedding

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. #christchurchweddingphotographer #wedvibes #weddingplanning

Not every love story needs soft pastels and golden Not every love story needs soft pastels and golden hour…. Sometimes it looks like city lights, a flash of neon and two people completely lost in their own world.. This styled shoot for @bloom_weddingfair and @weddingsatthetannery was just that. It was an editorial inspired session that was all about contrast - bold light, deep shadows, and moments that felt effortlessly cool. A reminder that weddings don’t have to fit inside a box. It can be cinematic, fashion forward, and uniquely yours For the couples drawn to something a little different ✨ Editorial ⚡️ Modern 🌙 After dark So much effort and talent went into this shoot. With so many incredibly talented vendors… and so much fun!!

Another wedding season wrapped ✨ Looking back thr Another wedding season wrapped ✨ Looking back through the last few months, I keep coming back to the same feeling — gratitude. For the couples who trusted me to document the biggest days of their lives. For the wind-blown veils, emotional vows, champagne towers, happy tears and packed dance floors. For the quiet moments in between that often become the photographs people treasure most. This season took me from coastal celebrations and golden hillsides to historic venues, garden weddings and beautifully curated days filled with so much love. Every wedding looked different, but the heart of it was always the same: people choosing each other and gathering their favourite humans in one place. I feel like I’ve seen a shift this season too. Couples are leaning into authenticity more than ever. Less pressure for perfection, more focus on connection. More movement, more emotion, more presence. And honestly, those are the moments that make the most meaningful photographs. To every couple who stepped in front of my camera this season — thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your stories, for trusting my vision, and for letting me create alongside you. Already counting down to the next season of love stories 🤍 Katrina x #christchurchweddingphotographer #nzweddingphotographer #weddingseason #weddinginspo #authenticlovestories
