Philicia & Ryan’s Cardrona couples session was pretty flippin’ rad! Being an incredible photography and videography team themselves visiting from Australia, the pressure was on. We decided to catch the morning spring light and head into the majestic Cardrona Valley.

isiting all the way from Houston, Cindy & Peter’s Pigeon Bay couples session was an amazing excursion, very much reminding me of how incredible those sleepy bays of Banks Peninsula are.

Having the chance to photograph Villy & Brandon’s Wanaka honeymoon session was one of the key shoots that made me really appreciate this place to call home. For this connection session, we took upon the adventure of an incredible helicopter flight to Roy’s Peak, followed by the serene lakeside goodness amongst the pines and waters edge. Two awesome relaxed souls visiting from Canada for their honeymoon, switching from the depths of winter to heat of our Central Otago summer. With poor weather on their wedding day back home, these guys had the perfect excuse to line up some sunshine, which we had the freedom to do. Awesome people. Awesome session.

Lex & Rodney’s Moke Lake couples session was unforgettable. Lex being the wedding photographer from Maine USA certainly had more confidence in front of the camera than I ever would! The connection and radiance of these guys had was evident, as well as their tendency for fun and laughter. Surrounded by the setting sun across Moke Lake in Queenstown, we ventured from the lake side up into the mountains. Connection session awesomeness…
