Joy and Darren caught a stunner of an evening for an engagement photography shoot on Wellington’s iconic waterfront (an ever-changing, dynamic spot I don’t think I could ever get sick of working) and matched it with their own incredible brightness. Thanks for the session guys! I can’t wait for your wedding.
Danielle and Marc got married and Fiji showed them every colour under the sun. It’s no secret I’m all over natural light like it’s my best friend, but in this case, given the epic surroundings, I decided to try and use this blog post to show what natural light can do. There is no off…
Beautiful shots. Beautiful couple (he kind looks like James Van der Beek – or is it just me?) Beautiful location. All around wonderful stuff here!
Beautiful shots! I love the wide vertical of them walking away.
Such lovely portraits in gorgeous light. Really nice work, Mary!
Wow Mary! Just beautiful! Love them all.
that first shot is incredible! love your black and whites and your use of flare.
Insane portraits! And your B/Ws are fantastic.
Oh Mary, I could look at these again and again, what utterly stunning images. I love the ones of the newly weds by the sea, breath taking – and how you captured the intimate moments between them – the glance they exchanged at the alter – just ever so beautiful xxxx
Geez! That is just over-the-top beauty right there! Wow!
She is GORGEOUS! What fantastic portraits. Really, really stellar work!
Wow. Amazing shots of them by the sea. This is one for the mad props thread!
Love the portraits by the sea, those are brilliant. And what colours! I need to go there!
Wow, Fiji. Great locale, and you used it wonderfully. The bride was beautiful. More than that, though, you caught some amazing moments. That shot with dad looking on will be treasured.
These are all so beautiful and romantic. Well done!
I adore these! What a beautiful day. 🙂
Wow Mary, these are so incredible!! What a gorgeous bride…I love the way you used your surroundings to frame their love for each other. Soooooooo goooooood!!!
So many amazing shots! Love that she didn’t mind getting her dress wet.

Hi Mary, love your work.

So I started listing my favourites… and then realised there is no point really as all of them are so good! Those starting from number 26 are simply amazing! ALL of them.
Wow, what an amazing series. The way you started this post is jaw dropping
Beautiful photos. Love the fact that you only used natural light. That really preserves the genuine atmosphere. Invaluable memories!
These photographs are amazing. The tone is amazing, they all tell a great story and look so natural. Great work
How do I start writing about this wedding? This wedding where the clients pretty much let me have free creative rein – which is such an honor considering that it was their wedding day – this wedding that I photographed in the Mamanuca islands off the coast of Fiji, this wedding with just 17 guests,…
The first one looks so gorgeous. Like they are in the middle of their own little paradise. Love it.

Really beautiful photos, Fiji is the perfect spot for a wedding.
Amazing images. The work of a truly original and artistic photographer. I am massively impressed.
I only get enough time to blog a select few of the 100% wonderful weddings I shoot every season, and winter is my time to do a bit of catch up. This wedding is from a couple of months ago, and it came with a 5 minute parcel of light around 5pm. Light is so…
I’m in awe, the beauty in the bridal portraits is quite unbelievable.
some amazing images in there. this one stopped me. http://www.marysylvia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/0131(pp_w670_h446).jpg
