add-ons
make it more fun
+ travel outside of Christchurch
travel costs anywhere in NZ is already included in the elopement package, but i'm also more than happy to travel beyond Christchurch for wedding packages. get in touch to chat about costs, locations, and travel arrangements.
+ analogue photography
nothing says nostalgia like a few rolls of film. analogue photography captures authentic moments: no edits, no re-dos, just raw magic.
+ second shooter
add a second photographer to your day for extra coverage, more angles, and capturing all the little moments you might otherwise miss.
+ additional hours
extend your coverage to capture more of the celebration, whether it's getting ready earlier, golden hour portraits or extra time on the dance floor.

featuring a carefully selected professional hair and make-up artist to enhance your natural look and complement the overall aesthetic of your day.
+ vintage car hire
a beautiful vintage car can be arranged as a photo prop to add character and variety to your day.

your photos are meant to be lived with, not just scrolled past. a photo book on your coffee table turns your gallery into something you can revisit often. Friends will flip through it, and it'll probably make your mum cry.
FAQ
How long does it take to receive our photos?
You’ll receive a password-protected online gallery with carefully selected and fully edited images, ready for download and sharing. Turnaround time is usually 2-4 weeks for love story sessions, and 6-12 weeks for weddings and larger events.
Can you not post our images on your social media?
Yes. I completely understand if you're not comfortable with photos of you being posted online, or if you would prefer that I ask for permission first. I respect your preferences, so please let me know in advance.
What camera gear do you use?
I typically use the LUMIX S5II camera body, with Godox V1 flash and a range of lenses from Panasonic and Sigma.
Do you travel and how much do you charge?
I do! I travel anywhere around New Zealand. Unfortunately, international travel is currently not available. My travel costs are calculated based on distance from Christchurch. If you have a location in mind, feel free to get in touch and I can put together a full quote for you.
What do we wear?
Choose something you can move comfortably in, we want you to feel relaxed, not restricted. You don’t need to wear matching outfits with your partner, but it’s a good idea to complement each other in style or colour. It’s best to avoid big logos, heavy patterns, or overly bright colours, as they can be distracting in photos. If you’re unsure, feel free to send through a few outfit options and I’m happy to help you choose.
