The Landing Wedding Venue – Becca & Steve

2021-03-26T12:48:01+13:00

The Landing Wedding Venue - Becca & Steve Where do I start? Such a beautiful, perfect day.  The one thing that Steve and Becca really wanted, was to be able to spend as much time with their guests as possible. The photos were super important to them, but like many couples they didn't want to be away from their guests for too long and wanted plenty of time to hang out with their bridal party. I am totally on the same page with this - weddings are all about sharing your day with the people that mean the most to you. The plan was to get ready early and then have a grazing platter for lunch at the brides parent's lifestyle block, with time just hanging out, relaxing and chatting with their best friends. I got plenty of candid images before a quick 20mins taking some more formal photos. [...]

NZIPP Iris Awards 2020

2020-09-09T13:27:34+12:00

NZIPP Iris Awards 2020 I wasn't going to enter this year - its a such a rollercoaster. The choosing of images, how to edit them (or not depending on the category), making sure everything is correct before entering, the waiting. Did I mention the waiting? The ups an downs of watching your work being judged. Every year I say why do we do it?! But its the learning, the professional development, seeing your work judged by your fellow professional photographers (not just your mum, who loves everything you photograph!). And the FOMO - judging week isn't anywhere near as exciting is you have any work in! This year the awards were run a bit differently - all of the judging was done online and there were no prints to send in.  I have to admit, as stressful as it can be, I always love seeing the work printed, as [...]

Wairarapa Wedding Photographer – Crystal & Rukas, Ekatahuna Country Wedding

2020-04-04T11:40:43+13:00

Wairarapa Wedding Photographer - Crystal & Ruka Crystal & Ruka were going for a relaxed day, with a natural feel. The ceremony took place in  the middle of the camp ground which was surrounded by the most beautiful tall trees with a little river, just a short walk away. With them both being family orientated, it was mainly just family with a few close friends who they had known since school. Ruka and Crystal knew of each other during school, but didn't have much to do with each other until the later years where they grew close, through the connection of Ruka's sister. They were soon  inseparable, working, living and travelling the world together!! They had been together for 4 years when Ruka proposed, in their newly bought home. Crystal tells me - 'the proposal was just a very unromantic, unexpected knee drop in the lounge haha!' Sounds pretty [...]

Masterton Wedding Photgrapher – Adelaide & Joshua

2019-11-08T13:42:46+13:00

Masterton Wedding Photgrapher - Adelaide & Joshua Oh winter weddings! I love a good winter wedding and this one was no exception. Especially when your dog is the best man and your brother is your bridesman. Friends, family, keeping cosy and wrapping up warm for the cold. Smoke bombs, sparklers and enchanted forests. A bride who was so incredibly happy all day, a groom who was just so in love. What more can you ask for? Sharisse x

Zealandia Wedding Photographer – Bron & Steph

2019-08-09T01:40:59+12:00

Bronwyn & Steph had been guests at a wedding I had photographed a couple of years ago, so it was wonderful when they got in touch to ask me to photograph their wedding day. Zealandia was their venue - they chose to hold their celebration here as it was important for them know that they get to hold their celebration in a beautiful place while helping to do a little bit of good for the native flora and fauna. I think that's a pretty special reason.

Masterton Wedding Photographer – Anna & Tyla

2019-03-28T21:03:39+13:00

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

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.

Brackenridge Wedding Photographer – Anna & Tom

2019-03-20T23:26:32+13:00

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 [...]
