Kristina is from Canada and Wikus from South Africa, they met in Norway and decided to come and get married and live in NZ,

Film Photos had another feeling, the grain and colours from a analog camera bring us back to nostalgic moments, without the intervention of any digital process more than the scans of the negatives to showcase in this platform.

Small intimate backyard wedding, Natural and soft tones.
“Colin and I are both quite low key people, our ideal scenario it’s to have a photographer for a few hours that can capture the love and joy of the day and join in and have some fun”
That’s what Michelle told me when wet up, and they had their amazing intimate wedding in Rotorua on their friend’s house followed by a big celebration on their backyard with all the closest friends.
It was indeed a small celebration, simple but beautiful. From the getting ready in the morning with the parents first look until cutting the cake at twilight hour.

Boho Style Wedding in a Private Villa in France.
Terracota and Burgundy were the tones along dry and fresh flowers with a beautiful ceremony full of meaningful traditions between Chilean and French families and friends.
When Macarena and Pierre contacted me telling me if I can travel to France to be their wedding photographer I said "Fuck YEAH!" , I couldn't believe that they were happy to flight me over Europe from NZ for such important role.
They met in NZ during their backpacking trip, in the most cinematic way. They were working in a kiwi farm, and when they hands touched while they were packing the kiwis they felt that magic connection straight away.
After living in a campervan travelling around New Zealand were they love grows. Pierre decided to propose to Macarena with the views of the South Island in the background and she happily accept the proposal!
Pierre message me secretly to ask me if I was happy to travel to Nelson for an engagement photoshoot and I travel down south to met them and I stayed with them for 3 days.
We shared amazing meals togethers and hours of talking, and I knew that it would be a wonderful wedding because their love is so powerful!.
Macarena its an artist, dancer and actress, full of creativity and personality that brings the hype to the calm and kind Pierre who is always whiling to do anything for her. Both passionate about life and travel, food and art. Put up a whole event for their wedding day in France.
Macarena was in charge of the designe and she created beautiful stands of flowers, arches, macrame backdrops for photos and Pierre and his family prepared the land on their farm for the Wedding, the tent, tables, dance floor and the best food that I ever tried! along the WINE AND CHEESE (omg DA BEST).
The wedding dress was designe for Macarena and made by hand by Angelique, a French designer friend of Pierre and Macarena who also had the privilege to met.
They had a fire show!! and French traditions during the whole night so it was one of the best weddings Ive attended in this 8 years of working in weddings.
I was involve in the 4 day wedding celebration and was such a nice experience, to be able to share and met all the family and friends.
I will always be so grateful for this wonderful couple who trust on me for capture everything on their wedding day.
Love you guys! xx

Have you ever seen a chapel like this one before? 😮
When I met Audrey and Arthur for first time in our initial meeting and they told me about their wedding in this stunning venue @treechurchandgardens I knew straight away their wedding will be a dream wedding.
Audrey it’s such a sweet and beautiful girl and Arthur the most gentle and romantic groom I ever met. They both make the perfect match and I couldn’t be more happy and honor to be their photographer.
When Audrey ask me for photos that look exactly like a movie I knew exactly what she meant and I was so happy for it because I just looooove be able to be creative.
Their wedding was perfect from the getting ready until the end, despite the rain we managed to get amazing photos.
Arthur is from France and all his best friends and family travel to New Zealand to be part of this wedding, they definitely brought with them the best French vibe and light up the party 🎉.

Elopement vs Big Wedding : Why and when to have an elopement?
Elopement are really good for people that wants to get married without the pressure of a big wedding , when families and friend are overseas, or when you want to get married in a beautiful place.
Elopements are intimate moments, we are able to capture moments in a beautiful way and manage better the times for get those beautiful photos you are looking for.
Zai and Diego contact me and told me they wanted to get married by themselves and their cute dog Lola, in a nice beach in Auckland because all their family are overseas.
So I created a special elopement package for them and I helped them with suggestion of places and times for get those amazing sunset photos they were looking for.
Zai is from Mexico and Diego is from Italy and they met in Canada and travel together the world until came to NZ 8 years ago.
Their love go beyond any border and soon they will move again to start a new married life in Italy ❤️
They are a fun and joyful couple, full of happiness and passion.
They decided to elope in Piha Beach with their two best friends who were the witnesses and brought along all the Italian energy around ❤️.

I felt so lucky to met Kim and Jono, and Im so surprise how things can change suddenly and still being amazing.
Their wedding was supposed to happen in January 2022 and was a beach wedding in Piha.
But they decided to move the wedding for July 2021 and was in town.
And I'm so glad they did the wedding in the city because it was a totally different plan and I fckn love it!!!
We did some getting ready photos in their house and then we went to Auckland Domain for a first look and some family photos.
Then we head to @ciboparnell for the ceremony and reception and we did literally 5 min photos outside in the street and OMG Im obsessed with the style!
Kim is such beautiful bride and so relax, she wear a denim jacket later on for the photos and looks so cool 😍
Thanks to @meadow.nz for that amazing bouquet, I love the colours and the flowers was just perfect for her style.
And one the best make up artist that I met @laurawilliamsonmakeup she is wonderful!!

Rochelle loves Anne from Green Gables so she inspired her wedding from the book and omg was so dreamy!, they had a perfect day: sunny and warm, and all their guest were the closest friends and families.
I met Rochelle and Pat in the wedding of Kim and Jono (other really cool couple, how lucky I’m!), and we follow each other since before they got engaged so when I hear the news I was soooo happy for them ❤️.
They decided to celebrate in a private house in Coatsville, Auckland, and I knew from the start it will be an amazing wedding, from the beautiful gardens, the dress and that stunning sleeves, the furniture, flowers, drinks, food, people, eeeeverything!
They wanted to keep their vows in private so they read it to each other after the ceremony and I was there from the distance capturing that beautiful moment.
I highly recommend the type of confetti they used in case you want to do a confetti exit after the ceremony, it was made from rice paper so is biodegradable and the best part flow in the air like nothing I've seen before, so the photos look perfect.

I almost cry hearing Caleb’s speech describing how much he admire Sahara.
And the way she look at him it’s with the most pure love. I mean, you can tell that in the photos hehehe.
They had a totally dream wedding down in Queenstown in the most gorgeous venue @stoneridgeestate .
And I felt so blessed to be part of their wedding day and the day after sharing with all their family and friends. We even went for drinks to town and omg I felt like in family.
And I felt really lucky to said this about many other couples tha

Amazing vendors as well as the stunning flowers from @bloomsbytheworkroom 🌺

Mitch and Madi told me they were super nervous about the couple photoshoot because they are really shy and they feel a little bit uncomfortable in front of the camera, and when I met them my first reaction was like OMG you guys look exactly like models so honestly don't worry, is no way you will look bad in the photos haha.
I start early in the morning taking photos of Mitch getting ready with his groomsmen and then I drive to Madi's getting ready, both sides were gorgeous, stunning and with a classy elegant style. She told me her mum pass away when she was young so I knew I need to pay attention to capture photos of her nana and her step mother who was there helping her with the dress as well.
Ceremony couldn't be more perfect, full of emotions. I could see the tears coming from Mitch eyes when he saw Madi for first time in her wedding dress walking down the aisle.
A full on bridal party make those photos so fun and beautiful, and then we just did the most gorgeous pictures in a little chapel and then we catch the sunset trhough the trees, right on time to come back to the most cool party!.

When we had the meeting with Izzy and Luke we went for beers so we can know each other and talk about the wedding, I knew from the first moment they will have a beautiful wedding.
They been together since high school and they are that kind of couple that are the best friends ❤️
We were scared of the possible rain but they had the most wonderful weather!
The perfect place @boutiquebarn couldn’t be the better location for their wedding!.

Taupo, New Zealand
Someone said it’s good luck if rain in your wedding day, and with this new crazy weather in New Zealand we can’t spect a hot sunny summer all the time.
But let me tell you something, rain weddings are full of romantic vibe and emotions around.
Rain bring people closer, involve us in a special atmosphere and we just need to embrace the water and the cloudy mood and make the most of it!
Like Duncan and Jyoti , they had they ceremony under the rain holding their umbrellas and smiles were printed in their faces during the entire day. I never seen something like that, they decide last minute did the ceremony outside despite the rain, until become too heavy right in the middle of the ceremony!, so everyone run and they friends managed to move the decoration and benches inside the venue. They keep going with the ceremony but then it clear again so they move everyone outside to have the big confetti exit and WAS THE BEST IDEA!
Their wedding was in Taupo in @omorilodge and was raining the whole day but they didn’t care, no one care about the rain and actually they absolutely love it! .
We get this amazing shoots in the top of the hill and I’m obsessed with this wedding 😍❤️.

I always said "everything happen for a reason" I'm a true believer and I try to be positive to changes. Someone told me: "maybe people said that because it's a way to feel better and try to find a reason". I don't think so. And Kate and Simon wedding remind me that over and over again...
Their initial plan was getting ready in Takapuna, Auckland. Both love beach and surf so they wanted that beach style wedding.
But covid make things hard for everyone and they postponed the wedding. They travel from Australia and they never had luck to find a MIQ spot and they try 2 times!
They decide to postpone the wedding and things work better than everyone was expecting!!
They change the place for Mangawhai, a really important place for them because they got engaged over there and now they get married in the exactly same place OMG sooo romantic, I just love all of that and I feel so happy for them 😍❤.
Always will be grateful for make me travel out of Auckland and enjoy such a beautiful wedding day in the beach.
Also I can't believe that I actually stay the night in Simon's parents house.
Everyone was so lovely people and that make photos look amazing!!!

Hotel Ritz Cartlon - Santiago
This was the first military wedding I had. The bride, Gisselle is from Ecuador and the groom, Andrés from Chile.
When I got to her getting ready at the hotel, she was very nervous like most brides, but I told her that everything would be fine, she had everything prepared very beautifully and you can see that in every detail.
One of the things that I value the most is that if they want beautiful photos of the couple's session, they have the disposition and the time for that to happen, and that's how it was with this wedding. Gisselle felt very comfortable being able to help guide her through the poses and places to have a nice memory.
When I arrived at the hotel reception I was fascinated with the decoration and the details, Gisselle and Andrés had many surprises for their guests, so much so that she changed her dress at the party for another one just as beautiful as the one at the ceremony.
When I went up to say goodbye, I congratulated them for so much concern for the couple and their guests, and she also thanked me for having guided and accompanied her during her very special day.
