REFINED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN WAIRARAPA
A meaningful, experience-led approach to documenting modern wedding days
ACCEPTING LIMITED FULL DAY WEDDINGS EACH SEASON
Full-day wedding photography for couples who value presence
Your wedding is the day you express who you are as a couple, and a way to celebrate the love story you are writing together with those who mean the most to you.
It should feel intentional, yet effortless. Unique and meaningful.
My approach balances calm guidance with observation so I can allow space for natural moments to unfold. Nothing is staged for effect, but nothing is left to chance either. The focus is on documenting emotion and thoughtful detail, so your images feel timeless and authentic.
Why August & Vine
Choosing a photographer is as much about trust as it is about style.
Your wedding is how you're choosing to celebrate your love story and you're inviting someone into a day that can't be repeated.
My work is shaped by years of photographing full wedding days alongside a background in high-end events, where awareness, discretion, and craft matter. That experience brings confidence, familiarity and peace of mind.
My role is to honour the day as it unfolds, capturing it with a refined eye so the photographs feel true to what it was like to be there.

EXPERIENCE ACROSS WAIRARAPA'S LEADING WEDDING VENUES
Wairarapa and Wellington offer a wide range of beautiful wedding venues, each with its own atmosphere and way a day unfolds. After many years photographing weddings across the region, I know these places well: the spaces they offer, the rhythm of the day within them, and how to work seamlessly alongside the teams who bring them to life.
