How do you help your couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera?
Some couples are relaxed and confident. Others feel nervous and need direction. I have worked with hundreds of couples and offer only as much advice as a couple needs. If there is a desire to be directed, I step in to encourage and guide.
What word keeps coming up when couples describe your work?
"You were unobtrusive, relaxed, and so easy to work with. Stunning images! "
What advice do you give every couple?
Above all, on the day, just relax and enjoy your wedding! I will arrange things so that you can make the very most of your time with your guests. I will do the work.
How long have you been photographing weddings?
More than twenty years. Please read some of the testimonials on my website, from dozens of delighted couples.
When you aren’t shooting a wedding, what’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
Time with family.

Zahn and Perry!!! Thank you does not suffice in expressing our gratitude to both of you for capturing our wedding day! We chose to say 'I do' in Queenstown as I had always wanted a winter wonderland wedding. You fulfilled our dream and vision! As I look back on our photos I am so proud and happy to have them! When we look at the photos we can hardly believe that it was us! You captured our day so magnificently we were blown away. It was not only the photographs that were amazing but your like ability and professionalism. I felt like we had known you for years as we felt so at home and relaxed when you were shooting us. You are a fireball team and am very glad we got both of you! One of the absolute highlights was after the ceremony when we flew by helicopter to Cecil Peak in Queenstown. Even in the negative temperatures you made it such a magical experience! Family, friends and people I have never met have told me that these were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. An absolute league of their own. We will never get tired of looking at the moments captured up the mountain. The best decision we made! Throughout the entire day you were both so fun and professional! You were the best decision we made. You captured every moment through ceremony to reception and I am so so glad! I believe the best wedding photographers in the country! Thank you for capturing memories so real that it takes us back in a heart beat! Ashleigh & Jesse Robertson :)

Already impressed with the photos you had presented online and in the wedding magazines we had bought, we were thrilled to meet you in person and see more samples up close and in person. Not only were albums beautifully presented but you’d managed to capture so many moments that would be special to each couple on their day! Your professional and calm demeanour gave us the confidence that you would be the ideal photographer for our day… …and you were amazingly patient and helpful in the process of deciding to have an extra photo shoot a few days after the wedding! Hundreds of photos later and we’re still smiling! You were so discreet on the day that our guests didn’t even notice you… Family and friends have all commented on how professional your photos looked on your website and those that couldn’t be at our wedding have found this to be a fantastic way to feel a part of our day! And though it was torture to choose only the best photos for our album, we were absolutely thrilled with the layout and design you provided – and the finished product is simply exceptional! The quality of the printed album has to be seen to be believed, a sophisticated and modern look that is receiving rave reviews from everyone that has seen it so far! In summary, we would not hesitate in recommending you to any future bride and groom. Not only are you an excellent photographer but your professionalism and personality would be hard to beat.
