auckland engagement photographer

Your very own love like the movies

This isn’t your usual engagement or couple session, as you can tell!

My style focuses on capturing the emotions and telling a true story of your relationship. It’s distilling what it feels like to be in love with each other at this very point of your lives.

For the sentimental hearts, the storytellers, and the nostalgia lovers.

And your easiest photoshoot ever.

My style is also fully unposed.

That means zero posing, whatsoever. You don’t have to worry about being awkward in front of the camera. If I’m doing my job right, you won’t even remember I’m there!

All you have to do is be yourselves, be in love, and I’ll take care of the rest.

we want our own session!
