NZIPP Classic Wedding Photographer of 2017!

I am thrilled to share the incredible news that I was named the NZIPP (New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography) Classic Wedding Photographer of 2017! This prestigious recognition is a significant milestone and reflects my passion for capturing the beauty of real weddings through a photojournalistic lens.

The NZIPP Iris Awards are New Zealand’s largest and most respected awards and print competition for professional photographers and I am honored to have my work recognised among such talented professionals.

The images that earned this recognition are a true reflection of my love for photojournalistic wedding photography. I am passionate about capturing genuine moments as they unfold, preserving the authentic emotions and connections that make each wedding unique. It’s these real-life stories that inspire me and drive my creativity.

A massive thank you to all my couples who have trusted me to document their special days. Your willingness to share your experiences and allow me to capture those fleeting moments is what makes wedding photography so rewarding. I feel privileged to be part of your journeys and to create lasting memories for you and your families.

I am excited to showcase the awarded images from the Wedding Classic category at the Iris Awards 2017. Each photograph tells a story and encapsulates the love, joy, and emotion of real weddings.
