I have been living in Melbourne for the past couple of years and when I made the decision to move back to New Zealand I wanted to do a small shoot as a way to meet some people in the area. I had an idea in my head for a while about creating something colourful and a little bit quirky and once I saw some photos of Old Forest School I completely feel in love with the place and contacted Su-an to see if I could shoot there.
Old Forest School were absolutely amazing, putting me in touch with the loveliest bunch of local talent who helped bring all of this together. Casey from The Heirloom was also incredible, she took the beginnings of an idea I had in my head and created this! I am very excited about having the chance to be a part of such an amazing creative community in New Zealand. Can’t wait for the next wedding season to begin.
