For the wildly in love
Thank you for considering me to be part of your wedding.
From the first butterflies of anticipation to the final echoes of celebration, your day will unfold in ways you cannot fully witness yourself. My role is to be that witness for you; present, observant, and attuned, capturing all angles of the beauty in your day.
Here’s what matters: you won’t have to worry if you’re missing any moments. I will be there, calm and steady, finding the beauty in them, and making sure your story is held with care.
From the spark of your joy to the soul of your connection, to the very heart of your love, I promise to honour it through my lens
and Thanks so much
WELCOME
WELCOME
MY WHY
From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting loose on the d-floor, I'll be
there to document your love story (and all the fun bits). I'll even make sure
to snap authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the
best ones!
Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping
candid shots or be right up the front, rounding everyone up for group
photos, I'll be the chameleon you need on the day. Either way, I'll be behind
the lenses, not missing a beat.
SO WITH MY TWO CAMERAS STRAPPED IN
TIGHT ILL BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU,
QUIETLY CAPTURING ALL THIS
HUMANNESS WITH SO MUCH HEART AND
THE CALMEST APPROACH.
The Gold Dust Is Human Connection
HI, I’M KATE
In 2023, I married my last love. Living through both heartbreak and renewal has taught me to find and appreciate beauty in not just my own life, but in everyone’s. My life experiences have given me a genuine gift for it, and I am truly grateful to share it.
That’s why my collections are named The Spark, The Soul, and The Heart.

KIND WORDS
So glad we found the lovely Kate! There was an immediate connection right from the outset and her warm and calming energy made the whole process seamless right through to the end of our big day. Thank you Kate from the bottom of our hearts. We will treasure what you have done for us always. A true master of your craft and would happily recommend you without hesitation

Richelle & Matt
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much! I’m not one to feel overly comfortable in front of a camera, but the way you made us both feel at ease and the way in which you managed to capture the magic of our day is truly incredible. There is not a moment you missed and my heart wants to explode reflecting on it through your lens. We will be forever grateful.
“We knew straight away that we wanted her to be a part of our special day.”

IT’S YOUR DAY, SO YOU CAN CALL THE SHOTS

Rush Fee
We'd love to capture your destination wedding, no matter where it is in Aotearoa or Australia. To assist with your planning, I have created some affordable, all-inclusive travel packs. Just tack it on, and I will look after the rest. For most weddings in the upper North Island, I will travel by car, so this is just for those that require flying. International Flights to the Eastern side of Australia; for anywhere else, let's chat.

Second Shooter
The perfect solution to cover multiple locations or big weddings.
+$190
This is a particularly good idea if:
- You have a large guest list, and want to make sure we get shots of everyone that's there on the day, I recommend a SS for 80+ Guests
- You and your partner are getting ready at the same time, and the locations are far apart
- You're wanting photos of the ceremony and reception styling, prior to the arrival of your guests
Basically, the second shooter will act as my wingman/ wing woman, doubling the coverage of your wedding so you will see so many more fun and candid photos of your family and friends.
We'll team up to make sure that everything is captured, from start to finish, locations far apart. Lastly having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken of the ceremony and reception styling, undisturbed by guests. Also when Im away with you for your bridal portraits, they will be getting all those fun guest shots I know you will love.
(per hour) for a second shooter
As much as i'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second shooter on the day.
ALL THE BUTTERFLIES, THE GIGGLES AND THE HEART PANGS
How many professionally taken photos do you and your partner have, ones that you really love and can fill your home with?
An engagement shoot is a chance for us to capture some really beautiful, candid photos of you and your partner in a relaxed environment. Just the two of you,
being you.
Plus, if you're a little camera-shy, it's the perfect opportunity for you to practice being comfortable in front of the camera, in the lead-up to your wedding day. Either way, I promise that we'll have a lot of fun while we're at it.

I'm based in Matakana, north of Auckland, Aotearoa, but I travel all over the globe, so pack me in your suitcase!

You'll receive over 400-800 + photos, depending on how many hours I shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is and most importantly much fun your guests are having . I don’t delete images to a specific number; I just edit down to the very best !
I'll send you a sneak peek a week after your wedding. Then, 8–10 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery and slideshow to watch and relive your day. Once your prints are ready, I'll post them out to you.

Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other bookings for your wedding date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. If I can rebook your date though I am happy to refund but only in this circumstance.
Yes, from years of experience in the wedding industry, I have come to work with some of the top wedding vendors. I have listed some of the standout vendors and can send my curated list through to you.
This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.
I've never missed a wedding, and I take every precaution to make sure that never changes. But if the unexpected did occur, I have trusted contacts all over Aotearoa who are talented photographers and will take wonderful care of you.
and we were absolutely blown away by our photos both times! She is not just a fantastic artist with her own unique sense of style; her personality is also so lovely and she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable while also having so much fun together! Would definitely recommend choosing her for any special moment in life you want captured! Forever grateful for you, Kate!
