Donna + Damian // Russell

When we came across your website when we were browsing for wedding photographers, your images stood out from all of the rest and we knew we just had to have you as our photographer! We were very lucky to book you when we did as your wedding season had filled up so quickly.  Even before meeting you, we could tell that you truly love what you do as your images show your creativity and really inspired us to come up with some of our own ideas that we thought we could try out.  On the day, you reminded us to relax and take our time because the day does truly fly by!  We were very impressed with your professionalism especially when it did start to rain, and the photos under the wharf turned out amazing; again, just another example of your talent!  We are so very thrilled with the final images as you have captured all the meaningful moments of the day.  I also just wanted to say that I just absolutely love the wedding slideshow DVD with our wedding songs playing in the background; it is such a nice touch that makes it even more special.”

Hanneke + Tom // Kerikeri

When we first saw photos of previous weddings Jess had captured we knew immediately we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. We love her photographic signature, to us her images all have a feeling of magic in them but at the same time (a bit of a juxtaposition) they feel real and raw, upstaged and natural… just perfect! Then we met Jess and felt 100% that this is the person we want with us on the day. She is very down to earth and made us feel very comfortable and at ease, which is incredibly important, especially when my husband and I felt a little awkward about the idea of being photographed and the centre of attention. On the wedding day Jess worked tirelessly, she was an absolute machine and didn’t miss a single moment of our day. If something special or even unplanned was happening, she was there. We love looking at our photos, Jess truly captured the entire essense of our special day. They are such beautiful memories and treasured reminders of a day neither of us will ever forget.

Jess was recommended to us by a friend and we are so grateful to have found her. She had exactly the right vibe for our laidback wedding day and made us (both a bit camera shy) feel at ease. We love looking back over our photos and feel that Jess captured our relationship perfectly.

Olivia + Tyron // Wainui Bay

We are based in Auckland but decided to get married up North at the beautiful secluded Wainui Bay. The reason why we chose Jess is that her photos had such a majestic unforced feel. We were absolutely blown away when we received our photos and I have since put a few of my favourites in a frame which I look at every day. Wedding days can be such a blur so having those candid and intimate moments captured so that you can look back on forever is really priceless. It takes me right back to the day every time I look through my album. Jess is professional, friendly, flexible and was super fun to work with. She made the day feel really relaxed and it hardly even felt that she was there. Thanks so much Jess!!
