A little whisky, a wild landscape, and the kind of A little whisky, a wild landscape, and the kind of love that feels like a scene from a film. 🥃 A Scottish twist on a Port Hills engagement session — windswept grass, moody skies, quiet moments and a little whisky shared between two people very much in love. Nothing too posed. Nothing too perfect. Just the two of them, the landscape, and a story worth remembering. The Port Hills, with a little bit of Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #christchurchweddingphotographer #porthills #nzweddingphotographer #engaged
There’s something about a black and white wedding There’s something about a black and white wedding photograph that just hits differently. Without the distraction of colour, you notice the emotion, the movement, the little details and the moments in between. A glance across the room. The way someone holds their partner. The chaos of the dance floor. A quiet moment before the ceremony. Black and white images have a timeless quality that makes them feel less tied to a particular season or trend — they become photographs you can look back on years from now and still feel exactly the same moment. I love using them throughout a wedding gallery alongside colour images. The contrast gives the story a little more depth, and sometimes the simplest frame becomes one of the photographs you treasure most. 🖤 #blackandwhiteweddingphotography #nzweddingphotographer #christchurchweddingphotographer
Six weeks in the making… and finally, the weather Six weeks in the making… and finally, the weather played along. 🤍 After postponing and waiting for the right conditions, the stars (and clouds) finally aligned for this surprise proposal at Lake Clearwater. Snow-covered mountains, a beautiful lake, and one very big question. Worth the wait? I think so. 🥹🏔️💍 #proposal #engagementphotographer #surpriseproposal #nzweddingphotographer #lakeclearwater

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 🏙️
