I am thrilled with my latest win at this years Iris Awards in Rotorua. The Iris Awards are the most prestigious awards in New Zealand. The images are judged during 3 days by national and international top photographers.
I’ve won 6 awards this year in the Wedding,Commercial and Travel Categories.
It’s an amazing feeling to get awards and I’m so proud of them all, but this year it was especially nice to get recognition for the commercial and advertising work I do.
I also received the honor of becoming an associate member of NZIPP for the awards i have won during the last 3 years.

Check out these shots from the Minaret shoot last week. Nick from Alpine Helicopters was flying and Matt took some nice shots of me in action. We got some amazing images of the lodge in the afternoon, evening and then during the night with the light of the full moon. I will get a full post up soon when the editing is done.

Summer was the busiest Wedding Season ever and I cant say winters been quiet, just slowing down a bit. Last week I shot Louise and Oliver’s wedding here in Wanaka and this week its Claire and Callum’s Wedding in Queenstown.
We had a family holiday at the end of June in Noosa which was great to spend time playing on the beach and in the pool with Lucas and just enjoy some summer.
I was planning to get straight into preparing for the upcoming Iris Awards but had a slight set back with a ruptured appendix and a long ambulance ride to Dunedin hospital in the snowy weather! Fortunately, no surgery required, but the reason it’s been a bit quiet on the blog and face book front, is that I had to spend a week in hospital ( extension of holiday) but I am back to full force now and feeling great!
Two days after I got home, I did another big Heli shoot with Alpine Helicopters for Minaret Station in a meter of snow, minus 7 to 10 at night with no door on the helicopter, it was a bit chilly up there. The most exciting thing was that we did the main shoot at 2 o’clock in the morning in the light of the full moon! It was definitely a new experience to fly helicopter at that time of night and the images came out amazing.
