When I first picked up a camera, I had no idea that it would take me down a path where I get to share

What a wild season it’s been for us — juggling toddler life, sickness, and our other full-time jobs 🤍 But somehow, magic still happens on wedding days.

Becky + Josh faced weather that was almost as wild as our season, but thankfully the rain paused at just the right time so we could wander through the stunning Trents Vineyard for portraits

These two took everything in stride, laughed through the chaos, and ended up with the most beautiful moments to remember forever.

If you’re planning your day and looking for relaxed, genuine wedding photography in Christchurch, we’d love to capture it for you.

I never get tired of seeing how every couple brings their day to life in their own way.

Some slip away to the vines for five quiet minutes together.
Some turn the lawn into a full-blown backyard tournament.
Some arrive in a camo Can-Am because that’s just who they are.
There’s no template. No “should”.
Just the two of you, your people, and a day that feels like home.
And honestly, that’s my favourite thing to photograph ✨

Oooof, this deserves a moment.
This whole wedding was a vibe, but this moment in Strathlachlan Homestead really hit.
Golden tones, the dreamiest crew, and that effortlessly cool energy you can’t fake.

Forever obsessed with wedding parties that bring the energy and the aesthetics.

A little rain and a last-minute move indoors couldn’t take away from their day. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, their smiles didn’t fade, the laughter didn’t stop, and the love in the room was everything.

Sometimes it’s the unexpected moments that make a day more memorable.

The most perfect way to kick off wedding season — full of colour, warmth and the most wholesome, joy-filled moments. I was lucky enough to photograph Nicole & Matt’s engagement earlier this year, and getting to see them again and capture their big day was truly magical.
So much love, so many genuine moments, and one of those days that just felt right from start to finish 🍋

Kathryn’s day was one for the books and now it’s gracing the pages of the latest Canterbury Bride — what a moment!

She and her powerhouse crew brought all the energy, love, and joy — the kind of celebration we’ll be talking about for years. 💛

We’re beyond stoked to be featured alongside incredible local vendors, sharing Kathryn’s story and giving future couples inspo for their own dream day.

Grab a copy of Canterbury Bride and relive the magic with us — trust us, it’s a good one!

Still thinking about Campbell + Cheryl’s unforgettable day at Trents Vineyard – our final wedding of the season, and such a fun one to wrap it all up.

They made their entrance in a Can-Am 1000cc buggy (naturally), shared vows packed with Kath & Kim and Borat quotes (iconic), and Cheryl was so here for the Shrek toilet – legit, such a vibe.

The afternoon was filled with lawn games, Fireball shots, and Incubus playing in the background. But one of my absolute highlights? Cheryl and her besties breaking into full 80s prom mode during portraits – stiff arms, dramatic stares, the whole works. Pure gold.

Add in the dried florals lovingly arranged by Campbell’s mum, and it was the perfect mix of silly, sentimental, and straight-up joy.

More like this, please.

We might be Christchurch-based, but love has no borders—and neither do we! ✨ Stepping away from the busyness of the day to soak in a moment together is always worth it—especially when the backdrop is this dreamy. Whether it’s lakeside, mountaintop, or tucked away in a hidden gem, creating space for just the two of you makes for the most magical frames.

Your 'something old'—but make it iconic. ✨ A vintage car has a way of elevating a wedding day, turning timeless romance into a statement. The sleek lines, the deep gloss, the kind of elegance that never fades. And then there’s them—effortlessly chic, completely in the moment, radiating love with every glance.

If you’re bringing vintage glamour to your day, let’s capture it with the same editorial finesse it deserves. Because classic never goes out of style.

The best wedding memories aren’t just about the big moments—they’re found in the little in-between ones. The cheeky cake taste, the stolen glances, the laughter that comes so easily.
