Sure, Paul regularly shoots isolated bottle shots in the studio, but did you know he can do fancy-pants mood shots on location too?

I had often dreamt about writing a 'tell all' book

I had often dreamt about writing a 'tell all' book when I was giving up wedding photography. The funny stories that happen at weddings, the characters we meet, and how and why we get the photos we do. After a decade of photographing weddings I actually did it!

It took a year to put it together, it became my swansong. It's a funny, easy read, that won a fancypants award at the National NZIPP Iris awards.

If you haven't yet got your copy, I've just put up a MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL for $14. That's way less than half price. Just use the code: MUM to get $25 off at the checkout. www.unpretentiousguide.com

After 15 years and 304 weddings in New Zealand and

After 15 years and 304 weddings in New Zealand and around the world, we’re tapping out of the wedding game, and hanging up our wedding shoes.

We had already been winding down the last few years, passing the baton onto the next energetic generation of wedding photographers - and then lockdowns, traffic lights and covid hit and made it impossible to carry on the way we had been. So we’ve taken it as the push we needed. We are no longer wedding photographers.

In one way I’m happy for a new chapter in our lives, especially having our Summer Saturdays back to plan things with the family, but in another way it’s quite a sad, empty feeling, knowing that y’all are planning epic weddings still and I won’t be there to capture it for you! I’ll miss the genuine moments, making new friends and eating wedding cake.

But this isn’t the end of our photography, no siree. We’re going to continue on with our portraits and headshots, winery, scenic and commercial projects. So please don’t forget about us! I’ve tweaked our website and taken off the wedding information, but I’ve left the blog archives up because I know people still love looking back on them!

I’ll be reviving my socials, so PLEASE help the algorithms by responding to things as they pop up, it’ll make a massive difference. I’ll be back on Facebook too, and I’m going to try my hand at reels, apparently that’s where all the cool kids are hanging these days.

So thank you all so much for being such a big part of our wedding photography career. You’ve laughed with us when we got chased by alpacas, you’ve cheered for us when we won fancy-pants awards, your support helped hold me up when I was sore, tired or sobbing in a corner (true story). I’m so proud of the work we’ve done, but it’s only because of you guys, whether you’re an anonymous fan who hit the ‘like’ button, or our beautiful couples, you’ve made this journey what it was. And it was beautiful. So thank you. Thank you all x

WEDDINGS: Just so y'all know, 2021/2022 Wedding Season is at capacity! November to April is now closed for bookings.

PORTRAITS: I'll be taking on a limited number of family portrait sessions over the pre-Christmas period. I'm not taking bookings quite this far out just yet, but I'll let y'all know when I am (probably in the next month or so). Gotta keep those Mums and Grandmas happy!

OUR STUDIO: Chunky Llama Studios is going great guns - so if you want a quick and easy mini shoot, that's the place to go.

Married in their milking shed! 5 years ago and this is still the most unique ceremony location I've seen!

The guests watched from a rotating platform above then. Gumboots recommended...

His Dad had this old barn moved onto the property a fair while ago. A barn that hosted dances after WW2, community and family events, as well as shearing of course. Now this old barn has a new story to add to it's rich history. Steve + Eve. Beautifully married.

The attraction was instant and mutual. Mike, the handsome pilot and Amber the gorgeous friend-of-a-friend who caught his eye. Love soon followed and their life together that lead to this spectacular wedding day!

Here are a few beautiful moments of their gorgeous wedding day, their fab bridal party, the plane and their dog who decided to take a nap under the wedding dress!
