I had been looking forward to Crystal’s Wedding for a long time, the photography was a really important part of the wedding for them . They did extensive research on photographers, reading wedding forums, talking to wedding suppliers. Combined with me belonging to NZIPP and AIPA and being highly awarded for my photography made the choice easy.
The morning started at Crew Haircutters in Queenstown shooting make up shots and the rain was pouring down with no stopping in sight. I headed over to Aspen Grove to spend some time with the boys before meeting up with the girls again at Panorama Terrace to shoot the details and getting ready.
The ceremony and reception was at Mt Soho in Arrowtown and that is definitely one of the best venues to be at, if you have rain on your wedding day! The ceremony was held inside but the rain stopped straight after, so we managed to do all the location shots and outside with perfect light.
I stayed for the reception to shoot the cake cutting, speeches and the first dance.

It’s always great to see you images in magazines, it doesn’t matter that I have had countless images published it is still a buzz to flip through a magazine and see my images. This last feature makes me one of the most published wedding photographers on the South Island in the last couple of years.
The double page spread in New Zealand Wedding magazine is from Casey and Glen’s wedding here in Wanaka earlier this year and was one of my favourites. I also won an Iris Award for an image of Casey taken just before the rain hit us and we had to get back in the helicopter.
Here is a link to the post of the wedding

I am so excited about the 4 Awards I received at this years IRIS awards in Queenstown. The Iris awards are recognized as the leading awards for professional photographers in New Zealand. I had my first year of entering last year with two wins and this year I got 4 awards and it’s such a great feeling for me to be recognized as a top photographer by other professionals. The images below are my awards in the portrait category and the travel category. I also won 2 awards for my Wedding photography and will get them online later in the week.

The Infocus conference is held in Queenstown this year so I am heading over the hill for a couple of days to catch up with fellow professional photographers from all over New Zealand, to check out some new gear and talk to suppliers. There are also some really good workshops and speakers and I am especially looking forward to listening to US celebrity portrait photographer, Micheal Grecco. He has got a really nice and distinct way of shooting. The IRIS Awards is also taking place over the weekend, the awards are for professional photographers and the most important and toughest competition of the year in NZ.

I won another medal in the NZIPP Iris awards 2009, This is the most prestigious photography competion in NZ and only open for professional photographers. To win an award in the wedding category means a lot and showing that my style and approach to wedding photography is truly award winning! This makes me the only photographer in the area to have won an award in this highly regarded competition. The photo was taken at Sonia & Leon’s wedding in Wanaka.
