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 [...]

Martinborough Wedding Photographer – Charlotte & Craig

2020-12-17T14:35:12+13:00

Martinborough Wedding Photographer - Charlotte & Craig Classic, timeless, elegant, country chic. Stunning location, stunning bride and groom, family, friends - a casual relaxed affair. What more could you ask for? Oh..... perfect light for photography - and we got that too! This wedding was all about bringing all the people the couple love the most, all together to help share their special day. I loved hearing Charlotte's story of how they met - every girl needs a friend like that! "We met via a mutual friend who introduced us at a spin glass! I hated every minute of it and then I spied Craig....she told me he came every Monday and so I started going. A few weeks down the track she then invited us to a few drinks, set us up, supplied some booze and the rest of history really!" Thanks for having me along Charlotte and [...]

Featherston Wedding Photographer - Emma & Eugene Emma & Eugene were due to get married this month, but due to the uncertainty of Covid, the celebrations were pushed out to another year. We were lucky enough to get it this fun engagement shot earlier in the year. It was a great chance to have a look at the local locations and get to know each other a bit better and also for Emma & Eugene to capture some special memories of their engagement.  x

Wairarapa Commercial Photographer – Workshop Designs, Masterton

2020-07-20T15:22:43+12:00

Wairarapa Commercial Photographer - Workshop Designs, Masterton I hadn't really thought much about what goes on behind the scenes of creating a beautiful kitchen, but my day documenting what goes on at Workshop designs was fascinating! What really stood out for me was the quality craftsmanship, bespoke approach and the attention to detail. Will, Phoebe and their team are passionate about what they do and it really comes through in the final product, using all the highest quality components. Check out their website to see the finished results - but in the meantime, here a snippet of the hard work behind it all. www.workshopdesigns.co.nz

Wairarapa Wedding Photographer - Ash & Littles @ The Landing Masterton A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph the stunning Wairarapa wedding of Ash & Littles. Beautiful day, friends and family what more could you ask for? The locations were pretty special too - a helicopter ride meant that we were able to head up on to the family farm, to a spot very dear the the family. Thanks so much for having me along! x

2020-01-27T20:42:10+13:00

Featherston Wedding Collective The recent Featherston Expo was a wonderful opportunity to bring small business and community groups together to showcase what Featherston had to offer. It also gave the opportunity for people in the wedding industry to connect.

Wairarapa Family Photographer – Chloe and family

2019-12-10T15:58:31+13:00

Wairarapa Family Photographer - Chloe and Family It that time of year when you can really make the most of outdoor photography sessions. Chloe contacted me as it was important for her to have some natural, relaxed, documentary style images of he family. She really wanted them taken outdoors, so I suggested that my lifestyle portrait session would be a perfect fit for her. We opted for Henley Lake in Masterston so that the girls had plenty of space to run around and explore. :)
