Lisa and Glenn originally were scheduled to have their engagement photographs in a park. When I’m emailing people about the location for their engagement portraits, I always encourage my couples to have the shoot somewhere where they like to hang out, or that best represents them as a couple. Lisa emailed me a few weeks before the shoot saying that they were more ‘indoors type people’ and one of their favourite things to do was go to the theatre and watch old movies together. So after having some fun walking around St Kilda and catching the last of the beautiful Autumn light, we headed indoors to the grand Astor Theatre. Lisa & Glenn are tying the knot in August, and I can’t wait to capture their special day xx

I met these two lovely people a few weeks ago to celebrate this moment in their relationship, that newly engaged feeling. Emma and Anthony aren’t getting married until 2014…their family is expanding! You guys have so much to look forward to! You have such a special bond… it was a privilege spending time with you both xx

When Anne contacted me about doing an engagement shoot, she expressed they wanted the shoot to tell a little story in one of their favourite places in Auckland to hang out. Silo Park/Wynyard Quarter is incredible! Auckland was really missing a cool general spot for people to meet at before this. Anne & Seb live right next to this fun new place in Auckland, so they come here often. Anne & Seb, you guys were so fun to hang out with, I loved it. All the best for your wedding in Germany! Let me know if you need a photographer… xxx

These two are getting married in May at Kelliher Estate. We were blessed with the most beautiful evening in Cornwall Park. Golden light + a couple in love = my favourite thing in the world! I can’t wait for your wedding guys! Enjoy xxx

Jessica & James met me outside the new Auckland Art Gallery for their Engagement shoot. I absolutely love this space, but combined with these two it was perfection! Jess & James you have such great style, working with you guys was a dream. I am beyond excited to photograph what I know will be an amazing day, your wedding day, on Waiheke Island next weekend! I get to ride in a helicopter too…definitely looking forward to that. xx

Love these two. So excited for their November wedding in Melbourne! I met with Erin & Will last week at an incredible place in Melbourne called Abbotsford Convent, which is an old convent turned into an unique community space. The Convent houses artists, practitioners and many creative organisations. There is also galleries, a bakery, several restaurants, two bars, and a community radio station! I was also introduced to a restuarant called ‘Lentil as Anything‘ – a non profit restaurant that doesn’t have any prices on the menu, you just pay for what you feel the meal is worth! From their website… At Lentil, you are free to contribute what you think it’s worth, to continue a movement that values the diner over the dollar. Such an amazing philosophy! Erin & Will, thank you for introducing me to a bit of Melbourne culture ( the day after the shoot Erin also text messaged me her restaurant recommendations in Melbourne, love her!) and for being so fun & unashamedly loving toward each other. It was lovely to see and even lovelier to capture xx

 A gorgeous couple. A beautiful evening. Stunning scenery on New Zealand’s wild west coast. Bethells Beach is incredible. Thank you Jerome and Mallory for the privilege. Enjoy! xx
