BAY OF PLENTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - FOR ELOPEMENTS & RELAXED CELEBRATIONS.
Whether you're eloping, getting married in the backyard, or planning something small and meaningful—your wedding is one of the most personal moments of your life. Choosing someone to photograph it should feel just as personal.
If your wedding day is more about belly laughs than formalities—and you’d rather soak in the energy of the day instead of being posed like a mannequin—I might be your kind of photographer.
Wanting your celebrations remembered using an un-obtrusive documentary-style approach?
You'll receive emotive, honest imagery that capture the vibe of your day—the chaos, the calm, the hugs, happy tears and all the moments in between.
Whatever unfolds, it’s all part of the story.
Even if you’re not into having your photo taken, I make it easy, giving you photos you'll love. Natural, meaningful, and a bit fun—just like you.
If you’re planning a NZ wedding near Whakatāne or across the Bay of Plenty and want joy-filled photos that truly feel like you, I’d love to hear about your day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
CAN WE SAVE MONEY BY BOOKING A MATERNITY & NEWBORN SESSION?YES. When you book your newborn + maternity session together, you can save UPTO $100 (compared to if you were to book each session separately.) This is the perfect option if you're thinking ahead and want to capture both of these special moments AND snag a bargain. Terms & conditions apply to take advantage of the session discount. Contact me for more details.
-
WHEN IS IT BEST TO BOOK?Let's get your newborn session on the calendar sooner rather than later, preferably (before baby is here) as we want to hold the session when baby is between 7-21 days old. Newborn sessions are time sensitive and are booked in advance to be held during the week Mon-Fri - so don't leave it too late to book.
-
WHAT IF MY BABY IS OLDER THAN 2 WEEKS ?Babies 7-21 days old are still in that sleepy milk drunk state which means they are easier to settle and position to achieve the naturally styled images of baby wrapped on the beanbag. A newborn session is possible for older babies upto 8 weeks old, however older babies do have longer awake windows + have begun to develop a stronger startle reflex - meaning they aren't as easy to settle + position whilst keeping them asleep. If your baby is older than 4 weeks old, the session is more lifestyle based meaning we are not likely to achieve the sleepy images on the beanbag and instead focus the session around being cuddled in the arms of parents and siblings.
-
WE WANT MORE THAN x12 IMAGES - CAN WE GET MORE?Yes. Each package comes with 12 digital images of choice which is perfect for those who want a more traditional set of highlights from the session. If you wish, you can upgrade to a full gallery upon viewing your images. The Full Gallery Upgrade is essentially an upgraded package which includes ALL the best images from the session. You'll receive 50+images professionally edited images ready to download, print + share.
-
CAN WE KEEP OUR IMAGES PRIVATE?Of course! I understand not everyone wan't their faces online & I will always 100% respect your preferences. You can share your image sharing/privacy preferences with me in your session questionnaire. Allowing your photographer to share your images helps others families to visualise what is possible for their own photos. If you HAVE indicated that you're ok for me to share your images on my website and/or social media pages, please know I'm always super grateful to do so and will ALWAYS allow you to see your images FIRST. You'll be able to mark certain images as 'private' and allow me to share images you're comfortable with.
-
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?Where possible, i love to share sneak peeks to give you a feel of what's to come and aim to deliver your gallery within 1 calendar month from your session. I'm often able to deliver sooner depending on my workload - trust me when I say I'm just as excited to send your gallery off as you are to see them. You will be able to choose your images once you receive your gallery.
-
DO YOU PROVIDE BABY OUTFITS + ITEMS?Yes, I have a selection of neutral baby blankets, rompers and clothing, wraps, and styling items to use during your session. You are also welcome to include your own sentimental styling in your images if you wish i.e. a family blanket, outfit etc. I bring everything with me to your session.
-
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?Once we've landed on a mutually agreed date to hold your session - all that's required to book is to pay the non-refundable session deposit within 48hours. Payments are accepted by credit card or bank transfer. You'll have the flexibility to make payments at your discretion, as long as the remaining balance is paid in full 7 days before our shoot.
