Tarureka Estate Wedding Photographer – Josh & Allanah’s Winter Wedding

2017-09-15T01:53:50+12:00

Tarureka Estate Wedding Photographer - Josh & Allanah's Winter Wedding I really love winter weddings and I always wonder why more couple don't go down this road.  So long as you choose your venue carefully, I really think its one of the best times of the year to get married. Firstly, you tend to get your pick of vendors over the quieter months. Less competition for available dates, less stress. You can also get great deals in the off season. But, as a photographer the reason I love winter weddings is for the light! Soft winter light is the best and you also get to take sunset and night time shots without missing your party - bonus! And if rains - so much fun can be had photographing in the rain, and if its really bad then you will have chosen an awesome venue so it doesn't matter! And if [...]

Tararua Photographer – Sunset at East Holdworth

2017-08-10T02:37:04+12:00

Tararua Photographer - Sunset at East Holdworth   Anyone that knows me, knows that I love to run. And I love to go on running adventures in the hills. In the Wairarapa we are blessed with an amazing playground right on our doorstep. The Tararuas. I have only explored a fraction of the ranges and each and every time I run there it blows me away. Every time is different. The light changes, the clouds are moving. Sometimes its a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and you can see for miles, others the clouds are in and it has an air of mystery. By, far my favourite time to go is when its change of light. Sunset and sunrise up there is just out of this world. It takes your breath away and you cant help but have a huge smile. It makers you feel alive. I love it. [...]

Lacewood Wedding Photographer – Jess & Daniel

2017-08-02T02:53:27+12:00

Lacewood Wedding Photographer - Jess & Daniel I love an autumn wedding! The light is lovely and soft, the colours of the trees are stunning and its a great excuse to choose a cosey venue for a fun party with your guests. Jess & Daniel were married in the garden at Lacewood, at Tuhitarata Estate back in May followed up by a reception in the cosey in site barn. It was four seasons in one day! From sunshine to hail, we had it all. I absolutely loved working with Jess & Daniel - so much fun and so relaxed and such beautiful families. Thanks so much for having me along to document your special day. Sharisse xx

Martinborough Wine Walks – A tough day at the office

2019-09-13T02:05:37+12:00

Martinborough Wine Walks - A tough day at the office Sometimes we get some really tough jobs, and this was probably one of the toughest. A day of walking around the vineyards in Martinborough, listening to Nicola tell us all about the region, its wine, the growing and making process, and then top it all off having the taste the wine. It really doesn't get much tougher than this. But someone had to do it, so we agreed to come along.  :) This walking wine tour is an absolute must! Go do it. :)

NZIPP Iris Awards 2017

2017-06-30T01:56:29+12:00

NZIPP Iris Awards 2017   After entering the NZIPP Iris Awards last  year, for the first time again in years I was a little nervous entering again! I had set myself a target, so it was a little scarier then last year when I was just happy to get any award! The New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography  has a honors system, where you work your way up over the years depending on how many points you have  in total and how many you earned within a 4 year period through the awards. Because I have been a bit sporadic with my entries over the years, I had never achieved the required points within the timeframe to work my way up. So, after last year gaining 6 bronzes, I knew I need at least four more bronzes to get me the Associate level. And if I dared to dream big, I [...]

Kapiti Coast Wedding Photographer – Tim & Cath’s Sudbury Farm Wedding

2017-04-13T01:12:55+12:00

Kapiti Coast Wedding Photographer - Tim & Cath's Sudbury Farm Wedding I really do love shooting weddings over on the Kapiti Coast, even if it is a bit of a long trip from the Wairarapa. I was thrilled when Cath & Tim asked me to photograph their wedding over at Sudbury Farm in Te Horo. I had heard lots about this venue, but was yet to photograph there so was super excited the day of the wedding! Cath & Tim had planned a lovely relaxed wedding surrounded by friends and family - they were all involved, even the family dog wanted to get involved! I really enjoyed this bueatiful wedding - we couldn't have wished for more. Thanks Cath & Tim for having me along. Sharisse xx
