Since the early 2000s
(When Digital Was Barely a Thing)
I started photographing weddings in the early 2000s — and calling Kaikōura home the whole time. Back then, digital cameras were brand new, and I was hooked on capturing real moments from the start.
Over the years, I’ve photographed weddings all over the place, from Tauranga to Invercargill — but nothing beats a good Kaikōura love story. From wild coastal elopements to backyard parties with mountain views, I know all the best spots, secret corners, and sneaky sunset angles this place has to offer.
My approach is simple: relaxed people, modern gear, a smooth workflow, and photos that actually feel like you — colourful, natural, and full of the moments you’ll want to remember.
So if you’re after colourful, natural photos and a relaxed, no-fuss photoshoot with someone who knows this place inside out, I’d love to be there.
