Raglan Wedding Photographer, Crazy Chicken Lady, Gardening Enthusiast
I'd love to hear your story, so it's only fair I share a little of mine:
​
I fell in love with a man who's in love with the ocean. Lucky for him my favourite place is on the beach with a book; toes in the sand, the sun on my skin. When Raglan beckoned, we packed up our things (chickens included) to move closer to the waves.
It was the move which motivated this new business with an old friend. I met photography in the darkroom at high school in 2009 and we've been inseparable ever since. Together we've completed a Master's in Creative Practice, a handful of exhibitions, and a few early entrepreneurial endeavours. We've landed here and we're looking forward to settling in to the world of weddings.
It's important to me that you and I are on the same page. I just want to take beautiful portraits of people in love, and I'm not particularly concerned with much else. You might be planning a big celebration of your love with friends and family, or you might not be, but you're here because you'd like a record of the present moment that you can look back on in the future. As your photographer, my job isn't to check through a list of shots (boring). It's to feel everything, then make images which hold those feelings forever. We've won if we both come away from our time together more in love with your story, and perhaps even the people that feature in it.
I think we’ll get along if:
★ You’re a nice person who likes other nice people
★ The most important thing to you on your wedding day is love
★ You see traditions as guidelines, not hard and fast rules
★ Sometimes you feel a bit ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ different ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
★ You want to look back on your life and know that you made the most of every silly, little moment of it

Film Wedding Photographer
Film photography is real life magic. Light, reflecting off you at a single moment in time, in a specific place in the world, leaves a permanent, physical trace. Madness!
​
I've photographed on film for over 10 years. It's my happy place. The biggest difference with film photography, in comparison to digital, is that it is slower and more intentional. I often find myself holding my breath when I shoot film. There are a finite number of frames available on a roll which means I think a lot more and shoot a lot less, generally resulting in quality over quantity.
At your wedding I will shoot both film and digital images, this is approximately 80% digital and 20% film but it's a go with the flow and see what happens sort of arrangement. If you want your whole wedding shot on film, that's exciting and we can chat about this more to make sure it's right for you.
