My M.O.? I want to capture all the important things about your wedding. The connections, little glances, those big hugs, and crazy shapes being pulled. The real stuff.

I capture love in all its forms and have shot all over this beautiful, crazy world, from New Zealand to Las Vegas and lots of places in between. Inspired by cinema, my own loves, art, travel, and classic black and whites.

If you think we're a match and want to know more, get in touch to check my availability.

INTERVIEW

Who are you? Describe yourself in a few words.

Passionate about who and what I love.

Do you think that creativity involves putting your heart and soul into your work?

100% yes (although there’s always an exception to every rule)

How would you like to be remembered?

I’m not sure anyone after a few generations is ever remembered but I hope those I’m closest to remember that I loved them and didn’t take myself too seriously.

Do you believe in destiny?

Hmm, sometimes.

What inspires you on a daily basis?

What kind of world my children will grow up in and how I can try to prepare them as best as I can for that.

Who do you define as a visionary?

Kubrick, Bill Hicks, Hendrix.

What made you decide to follow a creative career choice (though possibly risky) rather than something more stable?

I’d rather have tried and failed than never have tried.

Did you feel like this journey would end? What is your approach to life?

Like Hunter S Thompson famously said, “Buy the ticket, take the ride”.

Have you always wanted to do what you are doing?

I’ve always wanted to do something that I love and I genuinely love what I do.

How long does it take to get right on your craft? Do you think people can be ready to deliver?

I think it’s an ever-evolving process.

How long does it take to get right on your craft? Do you think people can be ready to deliver?

Anywhere in nature and close to the water ideally.

What do you intend to achieve through your work?

More than anything else, for someone to *feel* something when they view the images. To evoke emotions.
