Teresa and Gareth were married at Murdoch Estate vineyard. It was a perfect summer wedding day: all dreamy buttery sunlight and soft warmth. Murdoch James has some gorgeous gardens; a river, willow trees, the whole package. And Teresa and Gareth bought the love. These two are the most awesome couple, it was such a privilege to…
Zoe and Steve were married in Martinborough on a beautiful day, at Zoe’s parent’s house. Clients often ask me what my favorite venue is to photograph, and by a country mile, it’s your backyard. I love the story and history, the beautiful touches that represent family life, just everything about photographing a wedding that takes…

Mary, this is divine.
I love your black and white photos so much ! My favourite ones are when Zoe & Steve are in the boat and the last one where they are holding each other.
Congrats! Fully deserved. I’ll be watching you 🙂
Beautiful images. Congratulations.
Such a great collection of photographs. Really like the use of black and white.
I’m having the best time right now putting together album designs, and sifting through all the Queensberry options for the awesome couples whose wedding I shot last summer. Right now I’ve just started in on Sylvester and Cordelia’s album. They were one of a handful of couples who had to battle the elements this summer…
Beautiful portraits. That first one is awesome and I really love the use of hard light.
Love the light here! Beautiful shots!
That second shot. The lighting. Absolutely wonderful.
That first shot is so dream-like. Beautiful!
That first shot is unreal. What a view.
If the rest of the photographs are anything like these they will be delighted, really lovely.
Great use of light and location!
Great little peek – that first shot is a total winner!
Gorgeous!
Beautiful photos, great use of light! I love the black and white on the bench.
Nice work – such a variety in a small set. Well done.
Beautiful frames, Mary <3
OMG what wonderful imagery!
Wellington is awesome 🙂 As are these portraits. The one atop the mountain is aces.
Mary these are divine!
Love the portrait with the cityscape background. Perfection!
Such talent from NZ! Very impressed!
Stunning work. Your use of lighting and tone is amazing. Great composition also.
I’m still alive, I swear! I’m just seriously focused on getting all my wonderful clients their wedding photos on time, and it’s super that-time-of-year. But in an effort to blow the dust off this blog that has been so unloved this summer as I’ve been out in the sun photographing nothing but awesome couples holding…
Wonderful lighting on that first shot!
Great photos Mary! The first shot is KILLER. <3
Beautiful couple, I love that backlighting!
First shit is wow.
Simply stunning!!
Great portraits Mary!
Great job
Gorgeous frames Mary!
Beautiful photos and lighting!
That last photo is stunning! The bokeh is like buttery deliciousness for my eyes.
Stunning, LOVE the black & white shot
When Lee and Dwight told me about what they had planned for their day, I almost pinched myself. It’s not every wedding I get to photograph lion dancers before the tea ceremony, an open air dance floor under the stars, and a massive sparkler exit. They married at Montrose berry farm, the most delightfully sweet venue…
I love this wedding. SO much. One of my faves is Dwight spinning Lee on the dancefloor, and the shot is out of focus. I love it. Gorgeous work, all of it. x
Mary, your photos are incredible! Always something special in every frame and all so unique! Nice work.
Thanks so much Victoria and Bec 🙂
just amazing. great coverage and great couple.
Some crazy moments captured. And just amazing night atmosphere.
These are outstanding, you nailed every stage of the day. Too many great photos to list them all but particular favourites are the silhouette of them framed in the door, the one of the girl spinning in the hallway, and my absolute favourite the black and white group shot just as they are getting themselves in position, perfect moment.
These are absolutely beautiful. What a stunning wedding!!!
Wow – what a wedding story! Soooo many beautiful details and some stunning portraits thrown in there too! Good job Mary 🙂
Love those portraits in the trees!
I can hardly stand all the cute kiddos and that baby! Love the dragon candids of the kids… Such a wonderful wedding, so well done!
Awesome frames!!
What an epic day! And you’ve captured it all perfectly
Mary, these are so pretty! I adore this couple and…dragon! So much fun to look throughout these.
Love the bride portraits and the boy singing into the hairbrush – fab photos.
So wicked. Also wicked was seeing you and Sam in Wellington! Such a fun afternoon. Until next time!
Great groomsmen tradition! The emotions are very well captured in this photo collection!
[…] am very fortunate to have some lovely friends in this industry, and when Mary told me she was coming over to Australia for a wedding outside of Sydney, I jumped at the chance to […]
Fab work, love the style of these photographs.

Fab work, so many great pics

Absolutely Stunning. Very good work.
Stunning photography work. Love your style
What an awesome ring shot! This wedding was beautiful!
Epic bridal veil portrait Mary – I’m pretty envious of that shot!
That shot of the bride looking at you through the veil… WOW. Killer work!
I concur. That veil shot is MONEY!
Mary, the rings shot and the portrait of the bride blew me away! Stunning shots!
Very cool wedding… some beautiful light filled photos…
Wow! Gorgeous! That shot of the bride and the veil covering one eye… I think I died from the gorgeousness of that shot!
Lovely photos, especially like the avenue portrait and the last one, really intimate.
Beautiful Mary. Veil shot of the bride is my favourite, that last frame is gorgeous also.
