Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a sucker for all things nostalgic

DO YOU WANT DREAMY, WILD AND HONEST PHOTOGRAPHY ?

Then your in the right place.

My love for photography began with a deep connection to my own family’s stories. One of my most cherished possessions is a Super8 video of my parents’ wedding day. Watching their special moments unfold on that film sparked a passion in me to create lasting memories for others.

When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy the peaceful, outdoorsy lifestyle of Te Ari, where I live in a tiny home with my husband and our dog Rocco.

In 2023, when I got married, I discovered a powerful truth: photos are everything. They became the eyes and heart of my wedding day, capturing moments I couldn’t be present for. Since I couldn’t be everywhere at once, seeing through my photographer’s lens the love, laughter, and joy that my loved ones helped create was utterly priceless

Let me be your eyes xx

Kind Words

“As two people who hate having their photos taken, she made us feel so comfortable and felt like one of the family in no time.”

She’s genuinely one of the sweetest and kind people you’ll ever meet which is perfect for those last minute nerves. Her work speaks for itself. It’s incredible, dreamy and romantic. What we loved the most was just how much she captured everyone’s personalities in those candid shots. There’s little quirks from each person captured so we can treasure forever. Thanks so much for everything Kate. If you’re thinking about booking her, you absolutely should - no doubt. Highly recommend.
