“I was so privileged to document the wedding of my brother in law to his soul mate back in February. It was such a special union and the day was filled with love, laughter and a hilarious interruption to the ceremony from their son Noah. I can’t wait to go through these with him when he is old enough, and tell him ‘Aunty Kate took these pictures’”.
My passion for photographing weddings began in 2007 when I shot my first wedding on film. Since then, I have spent many summers capturing those special moments and precious memories for numerous couples and families. I have such a soft spot for those candid, spontaneous moments that show genuine joy and emotion, and I like to focus on these while keeping my aesthetic light and romantic.
My first camera was given to me by my grandfather, and it started me on the most incredible artistic journey- from hibernating in the school darkroom to studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Auckland University of Technology. My studies led me to fall in love with both documentary and portrait photography, and I adore bringing them together in my work. There is nothing more exciting than meeting new people and sharing in their lives and memories with a camera in hand.
I have the travel bug, bad. I would love to hear from any bride and grooms about international and destination weddings. Please follow this link to read a bit more about how I want to combine my two main passions!
