When Katie told me that they were based on a sheep and beef farm out at Tinui, I knew that we wouldn't need to go anywhere else to capture their family photographs. And it didn't disappoint! I loved hanging out with this wonderful family and getting to see what they get up to as a family out on the farm.
I have been lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family over the years - each pregnancy & newborn session with all three children. Its always an absolute please to see how they have grown and welcome the newest family member. This time we did things a little differently and opted for an outdoor lifestyle on their wee block of land, where they have just finished building their new home, nestled in among the olive trees. I always love the natural flow of shoots like this - giving the children time to be themselves and play in an environment where they feel so at home.
Anna & Tyla's wedding was simply stunning. A laid back, rustic kiwi farm wedding out on the property they manage out at Mikimiki, Masteron. We had a lot of fun location scouting for this wedding, as there really are beautiful spots where ever you look, but the one place we had to go, was to the bridge where Tyla proposed to Anna. The ceremony was held under a tree in a paddock with the reception in the shearing shed. I love the way Anna & Tyla put so much time and effort into creating such beautiful spaces for their celebrations - mostly we up-cycled a and homemade items. The chandeliers on the barn and tree were stunning! Thank so much for having me along for your wonderful day! Sharisse xx
Tirohana Wedding Photographer - Felicity & Peter Felicity and Peter meet through their shared love of dance, and from there their love grew. When they mentioned that they were dancers I was super excited - we were all really keen to incorporate one of their biggest passions into the wedding photographs, especially as this was where they meant and what brought them together.
Anna & Tom were married at Brackenridge Country Estate on a beautiful January afternoon. Originally this wedding was booked in for May, but just a few months ago Anna called me to let me know they needed to move their wedding forward as she had been given a unique opportunity with work to spend some time in Japan. So we quickly got it all sorted and luckily all the other vendors could move dates, and it was all systems go. With Tom being from Canada, it did mean it was short notice for a lot of guests, but his mum made the trip over , which was so special for them. Thing I loved about this wedding it that it was all about family and friends - simple, relaxed and super cruisey. Theses guys just go with the flow, and roll with whatever life throws at them. Thanks for having me along on your wedding day. xx

Poppies, Martinborough Wedding Photographer - Lauren & Mike's wedding Another beautiful Martinborough wedding - this time at Poppies Vineyard. Lauren & Mikes wedding was all about family and friends and keeping it low key. As they are both private people and not fond of being the center of attention, they opted to have their photographs taken before the ceremony and then walk up the aisle together. I loved that touch at the start of the ceremony - supporting each other right form the start! The great part about taking photographs early in the day, is that after the service it was time to hang out with the family and enjoy the day! I think it fair to say that they certainly acheived theri goal of having a relaxed day with friends and family. Thanks so much for having me along! xx Photography - Sharisse Eberlein Hair & Make up - White Boutique www.whiteboutique.co.nz Flowers - TreeTop Flowers, Maretinborough www.treetopflowers.co.nz Dress - Hello Romeo, Martinborough www.helloromeo.co.nz.

Wairarapa Winter Weddings - Rebecca & Campbell I love a good winter wedding! The light is lovely and soft and the days are short. This means you get to make the most of the daylight, golden hour and night time shots without taking pictures all day and all night! Rebecca and Campbell chose their date for the new moon for the start of a new beginning and I was so excited. I kept my fingers and toes crossed for a lovely sunny day and a clear night! Thanks so much for having me along Rebecca & Campbell. x
Wairarapa Newborn Photographer - Samantha & Family This is the third time I have photographed the gorgeous Samantha & Micheal - and the really cool thing is, each time I see them they have a new family member for me to meet! How cool is that?!
