Anna and Kester were married at Tarureka;Â a gorgeous location I’ve had the pleasure of photographing at many times. What was different this time, was that they also booked out the Olive Grove up the road, and I was just about beside myself with happiness shooting among overgrown buttercups and daisies in an established olive orchard….
I think willow trees are my favorite. Helen and John married at the Landing in Wairarapa, Masterton, and one of the features on that property are these romantic weeping willows. Helen looked amazing standing in the shade of one, with a slight breeze coming in, it was perfection for photos. So here’s a tiny sneak…
wow, Mary. What lovely tones!! So pretty.
Bride is so cute 😉 Great, Mary!
You’re right those willows are beautiful. And the light… just so good.

Beautiful images well documented. I love the photography style. thank you for sharing.
There’s this part of the wedding day, right after getting ready, where if all goes to plan, a 5 minute window of time appears where I can sneak in a few shots of the bride. It’s something I really like shooting because not only is it a calm, lovely time, but the location (usually a…

If ever there was a couple who deserve a clear, sunny wedding day, it’s probably Megan and Mattias – especially after what they braved on the Wellington waterfront. They flew in from Australia for their engagement shoot last Friday, and the capital took the opportunity to whip up a mean batch of wind, plummeting temperatures and some…

Beautiful beautiful photographs, my compliments to the photographer… But let’s face it, with that sort of love it was always going to be transparent! You’ve made me blub like a small child Anna- but I guess you knew you would xxxxxxxxxxxcx

Your photos are so swoon worthy Mary! Love these
Daaaamn. Awesome set of images!
Right now it is -20 Fahrenheit where I am, and I think that I will just keep looking back at that first image to warm me up. I love the slightly cool tones and low contrast, but the composition is what really get me. Just lovely. Thanks for a little bit of summer!
i literally stopped and stared at the image with rainbow! BEAUTIFUL!
Mary, these are gorgeous!! Love them!! Especially that top frame!
Stunning! One of my favorite sets of yours!
These are amazing. Such a beautifully warm set of images. I am super loving the bottom left image… the light is perfect.
