About Us

I've been to hundreds of weddings with my cameras over the past 35 years, covering my first whilst still in high school. After graduating, I studied photography at Technikon Natal South Africa for 3 years, obtaining a National Diploma in Photography. Some years later, having focused on a mixture of wedding and editorial work for many well known South African magazines, I relocated to New Zealand in 1999 and became a Kiwi.

When I'm not at a wedding or editing photos, I live on a lifestyle block near Palmerston North, raising our 7 children with my beautiful wife Rachael, walking the dogs, and occasionally putting out fires as a Volunteer Rural Fire Fighter.

I’m a big fan of 80’s and 90’s rock music. I love a juicy steak and an ice cold Moa Pilsner and I'm quite partial to classic cars, good coffee and Whittaker's chocolate. I’ll always choose chocolate mousse at your reception if it's on offer and I'll take a piece of wedding cake home for Rachael at the end of the night if there's any left.

I like dogs and swimming at the beach or any nice stretch of water for that matter, if it's deep enough, not too cold and the sun is out.

I love weddings. I love photographing what happens at weddings. I always get a bit emotional at weddings. I'm a big supporter of people getting married and having children.

A proverb from the Bible sums it up well… “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord.” I highly recommend marriage when you've found the right person. I guess you're reading this because you've found the right person and you're ready to get married.

If you value the preservation of real moments and don't want your wedding day to become a fashion shoot, I'd be honoured to be there for you.

Sean's my dad. I've been learning the art of photography on the job, assisting him at weddings over the past 3 years. I'm his second photographer at larger weddings when needed.

I'm great with children; they don't tend to run and hide when they see me with a camera, because I'm not scary at all. I love capturing the ladies getting ready and mingling with guests at the reception. They often ask me to capture photos with their friends as the party gets going.

In my spare time I'm an avid reader and artist. I like drawing portraits of people. On wedding days I love getting creative with my camera and focus on capturing details and moments that would otherwise be missed by most people.
