When should I book my stargazing photoshoot? This

When should I book my stargazing photoshoot?
This is a commonly asked question and the answer is not simple.
There are a many number of considerations for timing starry night photos - weather, moon phase, cloud formations etc. For this reason, dates need to be somewhat flexible to get the experience and photos you are wanting.
The best time of the year is actually Winter! This is because in winter the stunning centre of the Milky Way is very visible and it also gets darker earlier.
If this was helpful then double tap 🙂

To celebrate a special birthday this lovely family

To celebrate a special birthday this lovely family spent some quality time in Hammer and had a family photoshoot to capture this moment together.
Early winter photoshoots are perfect for getting that beautiful golden light without keeping the little ones up too late.

What will happen if it rains? Will my dress get ruined? Will my makeup smudge? Will my hair get frizzy? How will my photos look?
These may be some of the things that run through your mind if there is a possibility of rain on your wedding day.
Things to consider -
- it's unlikely to rain the whole day.
- ask your venue about a wet weather contingency plan.
- you may choose to have umbrella's, rugs etc prepared for your guests (again ask your venue as I believe some provide these).
- we can take photos inside, sneak out during breaks in the rain, or get some beautiful photos that capture the rain 🌧️😍
These lovely newlyweds got married at @bangorfarm where the options for photo locations truly is endless no matter what the weather!

Is an engagement photoshoot really worth it? To he

Is an engagement photoshoot really worth it? To help you decide for yourself, here are three things to consider -
1) It's an opportunity to take beautiful photos in a place that is meaningful to you and your partner. You just got engaged so why not have some fun and soak in this beautiful and special, once in a lifetime moment?
2) The experience will ease any nerves you may have about being in front of the camera.
3) Helps you get to know me better and me know you better so that you are comfortable on your wedding day.
Bonus tip - these moments captured can be used for announcing your engagement, on save the date cards, or on wedding invitations.
Wondering where the stunning Olivia and James got married? It was @flaxmere_garden 😍

I have heard rain on a wedding day is good luck. I am not sure if that is true or not, but I do know that if you embrace rain or shine then you will have beautiful wedding photo memories.

I don't know how you do, but I love these sunset colours. If you plan dinner around sunset time, I know not always possible, we can sneak out while everyone is still eating :) This wedding was in Cust in Canterbury by the way so no long drive for me. I will drive or fly all around NZ and even further but when I am working close to home it's great too.

It was a super sunny day and no place to hide and I got burned a bit ... ye that is probably not what you want to hear haha. These two are going to get married at the end of the year, one of the last 2023 weddings. They have invited me to their "batch" for engagement photos, close to Akaroa, couldn't say no to the view :)
Can't wait for their wedding which is going to be at @bangorfarm

When I was taking this photo I had an idea for them to jump in the pool, for some reason they didn't want to :) haha, their wedding was at @flaxmere_garden which is about an hour and 15 minutes drive from Christchurch but so worth it. I am sure I will be sharing more photos from their wedding in the upcoming days (maybe weeks, you never know with me :)

All right after having our first son in October 20

All right after having our first son in October 2020, I have found it pretty hard to find the time to post on social media. Now that we have two boys I have literally stopped posting anything... omg the last post is from 21/10/2021! I don't even remember how many weddings I have photographed since then (all right pretty easy to find out but that is not the point) My boys are getting bigger and I am even getting some sleep again. Surely more than my wife :) All right fingers crossed that this post is just the first of all after my posting break and I will be active here again.
I am starting with a wedding from Otahuna Lodge I photographed nearly a year ago.
