It was something that came straight from the heart. There’s something magical, almost sacred, about photographing two people madly in love, choosing to say yes to forever […]

Some evenings are quietly unforgettable. This engagement session on the Hills in Christchurch unfolded high above the city, where the light lingers a little longer. When I look back on this session, I remember the way they smiled at each other. Not the kind of smile you give for the camera, but the kind that […]
