So the travel aspect of my job is delightful.  I get to travel to crazy cool locations with mega views and kind hearted people…. My goal is to hit Europe next year… a goal that if I put out to the universe, she may answer.  However for now I am content with my backyard because as said in many other posts, we have one of the most precious scenery in the WHOLE ENTIRE world and I for one am pretty stoked to call myself a Kiwi.

Jessica and Justin travelled 9,158 miles to tie the knot.. all the way from one East Coast to another.. in my mind thats pretty damn awesome!!

Just a few xx

The beauuuuuuutiful Justine xx

No words to describe how beautiful my backyard is…. not as close as I would like it, however still jaw dropping good EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!

Helps having beautiful people as well xxx

This post has a very special place in my heart for many many reasons.  The warmth, love and willingness shown by these amazing people, makes my heart smile with joy.

I cannot thank you enough Becca and Mark, for allowing me to share this with some very special people.

7 days ago I asked this amazing bride if she would be comfortable sharing her day with 30 wonderful and inspiring photographers at the A BIT MORE SOUL workshop.  I was a speaker and wanted to show the attendee’s the importance of  connection with their couples.  Rebecca had not seen any of her photos… all was to be revealed via a live feed in front of 30 AMAZING people.  We shared, laughed and cried with this perfect person.  Rebecca I cannot thank you enough for not only your willingness to share such an intimate day with complete strangers, but also to be so open and honest and REAL !!!

I adore you and your BEAUTIFUL family and will always, always have a special place in my heart for you  xxxxx

Normally I post at night…. in the wee small hours, when the house is silent and still.  Today however I shall be breaking that tradition.  I am trying to move my clock into semi normal hours.  No small feat when I have spent the good part of 5 years… actually times that by 3….. stalking and burning the midnight oil.

There is something comforting about night time, I look forward to putting my headphones in and engrossing myself in processing.  Sometimes I leave my ‘night time antics’ till the morning to re-asses the work that was done, often or not its deleted because it just looks plain silly.  There really is a fine line of what I love and what others may hate.  I think I have grown as a photographer however I know I have a LOT more growing to do.

This is what I am up to the elbows in right now.  This is me tripping around the country spending the day with fun souls!

This is going to be something very meaningful to me.  It started on the 7th of June 2012.  When time is kind I will be sharing this wedding.

Oh you just wait

No one gave me the rules…. it could take a year… but day two is better than just day one!!
