We go a perfect gorgeous summer’s eve for Tess and Tyler’s engagement shoot in Piha, with a few whispy clouds and a lovely warm breeze. The beach was also deserted, which is always a bonus…

I was slightly blown away by how gorgeous an engagement session I had with these two back in February this year. I had just arrived in Auckland the day before after a long flight from the UK, and there is no other way of putting it - I was very jet lagged! I know that once I start working I always get into my zone…

Nicola and Zac were the winners of my annual engagement shoot give-away with Auckland Weddings last year. This time, we also collaborated with the Beauty Hub, who did a beautiful job with Nicola’s hair and make up. We met at Lake Wainamu near Bethells Beach on a perfect summer’s eve.

Samar and Joel’s engagement session at Bethells Beach was one of my favourite couple shoots ever. It was a little while ago actually, and the first time I shot at Bethells Beach…

Ludmilla and Sean are getting married in Bali next year. Yesterday, they braved the brisk October wind at Piha for their engagement session. We had such an awesome hour together just before sunset. The light was beautiful and the two of them were all up for a bit of adventure, climbing over dunes and rocks and getting their feet wet. #adventurealways ❤️

So I’m in Auckland at the moment, and the Tree Church in Hamilton was definitely worth travelling for. A totally stunning and unique spot for Jay and Jacey’s early morning pre-wedding session. The kind of place where I could keep shooting and shooting for hours, so may possibilities and gorgeous light… enjoy!

We nearly postponed Nikita and Wade's couple session because of the weather, and I'm so glad we didn't. The moody misty evening light was just gorgeous, and we were pretty much alone on this stunning wild beach. Love these two...!
