About Us

Jess/Paul

Paul and I have been married for 27 years.  We married super young so have pretty well grown up together, it’s been a fun ride!  Along the way we added 6 children to the mix who have all had a part in making our lives that little bit more interesting!

I’ve been full time photographer since about 2007, along with hubby Paul, we’ve shot over 300 weddings, bucketloads of portraits and commercial work.

In 2022 we retired from weddings (sorry about that!) and at this stage Paul’s role in the studio is only for bottle photography and keeping the office running smoothly.

As well as being a Master of Photography with Distinction, I’m also an award winning and accredited members of the NZIPP (New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers).

I like taking ugly selfies.  Like, as ugly as physically possible.  I know how to take flattering images of others, but with such power comes a dark side too, the ability to triple-chin myself at the drop of a hat.  It’s a skill that I have not yet found a practical use for.

I am first and foremost a story teller, so photography seems to fit me like a glove.  While I do appreciate the technical aspects of photography, it’s more about the emotional side of the story for me.  I’m all about the moments, so give me anything with a face and I’m good to go!

So that’s me in a nutshell.  It’s important to me that I’m a good fit for you, so please have a good look through the blog, give us a call or jot us a note.
