Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (Auckland family-wedding-couples photographer)

Its time to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Another year pass by so quickly with so many amazing sessions: family, maternity, newborn, graduation, couples, proposals, elopement, weddings! (One family had a three photo shoots with me this year, this is a record in one year :))

Great time with beautiful souls, such a honour for me to be their photographer and document all these memories for years to come!

Its unbelievable how much variety of event we saw this year, including continue to be official photographers for NZIFSA, photographing all major ice skating competitions in Auckland (including North Island Championships and Nationals where skaters from all over New Zealand come to participate and show their passion and love to the sport). Such a pleasure to photograph!

As you may know, I’m an adult skater myself and this year had an amazing season with personal achievements - 2nd place in ISU Adult Competitions in Oberstdorf, Germany, 1st place in Winter Sun, Brisbane, 3rd place in Hollins Trophy, Sydney and 4th in Crystal Cup, in Melbourne. So many great memories and beautiful times together with my friends.

My kids had an important year in intermediate and high school; son get into development soccer team (Auckland United) and my daughter worked hard to learn all double jumps in skating and took a Silver medal in Nationals in Basic Novice U12 grade. All the hard work paid off!

Even though I needed to spend more time with my family, we had an incredible moments with my gorgeous couples and families.

I also incredibly grateful to continue teaching online photography workshop “Love, Light & Laughter” at Click Photo School (running from 2018, such a great time helping other photographers to find their voice and why in photography and life).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I cannot wait to see what future holds!

Piha Beach engagement session (Auckland pre-wedding photographer) Andrea and Jerry

Piha Beach is one of the most beautiful locations for engagement session in Auckland. I personally love West Coast Beaches for pre-wedding photo shoots, with such stunning landscapes and opportunity for a gorgeous sunset light, dream come true for any photographer!

We met with Andrea & Jerry just few months before their wedding in Queenstown for couple’s photo shoot and had such amazing time, full of love, light and laughter!

Couple shared their love story: “We were neighbours during high school & went out for 3 years during Uni. We reconnected 8 years later. We’ve been together just over 2 years again now and knew from our first date that this was it for us and we’ve been inseparable ever since.” The proposal: “We brought our first house together in June. Settlement was on the Friday & we met early Saturday morning at the house to start moving. Andrea walked in to find the ring box & Jerry on one knee. We both burst into tears. It was surreal and felt like all our dreams had come true.” Such an amazing heartfelt story!
