I LOVE weddings... And knowing that this will be right up there with one of the most important days of your life, it would be my utmost pleasure to be a part of your special day and document it in a way that will last a lifetime. It's those in between moments that I endeavor to capture throughout the day that truly tell your very own unique "wedding story"...
I tend to take a photojournalistic approach to weddings, which means you won't really know I'm there most of the day. I like to get the emotional side of your day; brief moments in time like personal interactions, a look, a touch, a burst of laughter, or a tear slipping away. Only when people are totally oblivious to to my presence can I achieve genuine, natural expressions, which is why I tend to hang in the background, rather than make myself known too much. Except of course for the bride and groom shots, when I certainly feel some direction is needed, however I will still try to keep the photos as natural as possible.
Based in Raglan, Waikato, I'm lucky enough to live in one of the most stunning wedding destinations in New Zealand. I'm also more than happy to travel throughout the Waikato as well as most of the North Island. Any travel outside of Hamilton however does incur a 35c per km travel charge.
I have a three different options:

Photobooth Fun
I'm excited to be able to share with you the Photobooth option that I have begun working with at weddings. The ultimate in party fun!
Photobooth Fun have somebody come and set up the photobooth at your venue, and that attendant will stay for the duration of the hireage to make sure everything runs smoothly.
The Booth takes 4 high quality shots and prints out a strip for your guests to take home. You can also choose to add on a custom hand made album, where the booth is set to print out doubles of the strip, and the attendant inserts them into the album where your guests can write messages.
If you choose to book Photobooth Fun through me you get a free online password protected gallery where your guests can visit after the event and relive the fun.
Please take a look here to see what people are saying.
