couples & engagement Portrait Photography
This session is a celebration of your love as it is, uniquely yours- a celebration of the life you’ve built together. The location could be your favourite spot on the beach, at the gardens in nature, or a recreation of your first date, an adventure just the two of you doing something you both love doing together: a walk along wellingtons waterfront, getting ice cream from the local shops or watching the sunset over Kapiti Island. Forget everything else for a while, and let yourselves fall for each other all over again!
frequently asked questions:
Q. What if we’re nervous in front of the camera?
Feeling a bit nervous is completely natural! Many couples share this concern before their photoshoot. But don’t worry—you’re in good hands. I specialize in making sessions feel relaxed and enjoyable. I’ll guide you through various poses and prompts that help showcase your genuine connection. The key is to focus on each other rather than the camera. By the end of the session, you’ll find that your nerves have melted away, and you’ll be amazed at how effortlessly the photos capture your love!

Q. Can we include pets in our session?
Definitely! Pets are part of the family, and I love incorporating them into the shoot. Just let me know in advance, and we can plan for their participation to create even more memorable moments together.

Q. What if the weather isn’t great?
Weather can be unpredictable, but that won’t stop us! If the forecast isn’t in our favour, we can either reschedule or embrace the elements for a unique experience. A little rain can lead to some truly magical and memorable photos!

Q. How long is the session?
Typically, couples and engagement sessions last around one hour. This allows us plenty of time to explore your chosen location and capture a variety of candid and posed shots. I’ll ensure we work at a comfortable pace, giving us time to capture the magic between you two.
