Some love stories just make you smile. Tara and George met online during Level 4 lockdown and spent six weeks talking nonstop before Tara caught the first ferry to Picton to meet him. Their Boathouse Nelson wedding was relaxed, joyful, and full of laughter - cocktail vibes, Salvitos pizza, beer pong, and golden hour portraits by the water.

Tom and Kirsten spent six years as best friends first - kayaking, biking, hiking and racing through multi-sport adventures together - before making it official. Their Golden Bay wedding at the former Naked Possum Café property had it all: stunning autumn light, guest musicians, a fairytale stone bridge, and a mid-ceremony downpour that the couple laughed straight through. One of those weddings that stays with you.

Sarah and Sam’s Nelson backyard wedding at Oaklands Homestead was a joyful summer celebration filled with sunflowers, lakeside portraits, playful details, and heartfelt family history.

An intimate spring backyard wedding in Mapua celebrating love, family, and personal touches complete with a lakeside ceremony, golden retriever guest of honour, and sunset portraits at Ruby Bay.

A spontaneous sunset Cable Bay wedding for Niels and Janne, who travelled from Belgium in a campervan and decided on a whim to get married overlooking the golden hills of Nelson. With notebook rings, vows in their own language, and bubbly on the beach, their day was completely untraditional and beautifully them.

Gemma and Mitch thought they’d feel awkward in front of the camera, but their rainy Rabbit Island engagement session proved otherwise. From nervous beginnings to genuine laughter, this shoot is for every couple who thinks they’re “bad at photos.”

A relaxed Rabbit Island maternity photoshoot for Brooke & Nick, capturing soft light, rolling waves, and the beauty of their first pregnancy.

When Ella and Marcus reached out to me after finding my website on Google (thank you, 80+ five-star reviews!), they knew exactly where they wanted to celebrate this special chapter in their love story: beautiful St Arnaud.
