WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Weddings and elopements, real moments, captured as they happen, for couples who want their day remembered the way it actually felt, not how it looked from the outside. I'm watching for the connection between people, the small things that carry real weight, the moments that tell the actual story of your day. Candid, documentary-style photography, less about capturing a scene, more about capturing what it felt like to be in it.

  • Elopements, weddings, and engagement sessions, based in Queenstown, available to travel nationally and internationally.

  • I stay close and stay quiet rather than directing your day, no shot lists, no heavy posing. What you get back is your day as it actually felt, not a performance of it. If you're camera-shy, that's exactly why this approach works, there's nothing to "get right," just space to actually be in your day.

  • Get in touch with your date and a few ideas, we'll have a quick chat, and a retainer locks in your day. From there we plan locations and timing together, then I photograph the day exactly as it happens.

  • Elopement for intimate ceremonies, Starter Wedding for a shorter day, Full Coverage for the whole thing, start to finish.
