​​I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years, and I’m just as hooked today as I was at my very first one. That first wedding was just three weeks after my third baby was born—a friend from church held my newborn while I took photos between feeds!

​

Since then, I’ve been drawn to the "why" behind the moment. I love capturing the laughter, the deep emotion, and those honest, messy, and meaningful moments that keep your memories alive.

​

Based in the Manawatū, New Zealand, I specialise in weddings, family lifestyle sessions, and events. I also feel privileged to volunteer with SANDS, providing cherished photos for families who have experienced the loss of a baby.

​

My faith in Christ shapes how I see life and love, and it’s the heartbeat behind everything I do.

​

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me:

• Attempting to garden (with varying success!).

• Watching a subtitled K-Drama with a piece of dark chocolate.

• Highly competitive at Settlers of Catan (though I usually lose to my husband).

• Learning about tribes in unheard-of places through documentaries.

• Listening to worship music that makes my soul sing (even if I’m not the most musical myself!).

​

I’m a pro at zipping stubborn wedding gowns, pinning boutonnieres, and keeping your timeline stress-free. I’d love to be the "lifesaver" on your big day.

​

Think we might be a good fit? I’d love to connect and hear your story.
