CINEMATIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC

Your love story, told like a film you’ll keep rewatching.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand and booking worldwide.

As a cinematic wedding photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand, turning your love stories into movie stills is my specialty. From your favourite date activity, to the wedding day of your childhood dreams. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a room full of your loved ones, I create space so the real moments can happen.
