Weddings & elopements
Wedding photography in Christchurch and across New Zealand
I love photographing the little and big moments as they unfold: the nervous laugh while the dress gets buttoned, the grandparents in the second row, the dance floor late at night. Mostly unposed, with a little direction when it helps — especially for the bridal pair portraits.
I’ve photographed weddings since 2013, in Germany and in Aotearoa, from church ceremonies to vows in a forest clearing.

Questions
Do you photograph elopements and registry office weddings?
Yes. The 2-hour elopement package suits registry offices, small garden ceremonies and vows on a hilltop with a handful of people.
Can we add an engagement shoot?
Yes, a 1-hour engagement shoot is $340. It’s also a good way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the day.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, all over the North and South Islands. Travel within 40 km of central Christchurch is included; beyond that it’s 90c per km. For travel that involves flights and rental cars, rates will need to be discussed case-by-case.
How many photos will we get?
Roughly 50 edited photos per hour of coverage, so around 450 for a full day. You get a sneak peek within 72 hours and the full gallery within 4 weeks.
