2025, what a year! Crazy to think that this was my 12th year of doing wedding photography full time! 🤯 It was a year stacked with the most amazing couples and adventures. The biggest of hugs to every couple who we worked with last year, so grateful to have clients like these! ❤️‍🔥 here’s to another year of magic! 😎 taken in Auckland, New Zealand by @jonathansuckling

👋 Kia ora fam! After 10+ years in the game I figured it’s about time for an ‘About Me’ post! So here goes! 😅

🤓 I’m an absolute nerd, I spend too many hours listening to podcasts about economics and politics.

🍿 TV SHOWS. I am so obssesed with TV shows, and I’m constantly on the hunt for the next TV Show to discover... some favs from the last year - Jury Duty, Last of Us, The Bear, and Shrinking are a few of my recent favs.  💻 I’m a tech geek - do not start me talking about Electric Vehicles, OLED TV’s, or any kind of tech. I somehow retain almost every number based piece of tech related info I have read 😅

🏃‍♂️ Like every other near 30 year old I have recently got into running and am about to run my first half marathon… eeek! I have also spontaneously become a squash player in the last year, so hit me up for a game!   🕸 I have a long love affair with internet culture, for me, meme’s & viral videos are an input of creative inspiration. (The rest of the negativity and toxicness on the internet, I try to avoid).  😂 Comedy. Such a huge fan of standup comedy and improv. I go to all the shows to get all the giggles.  
💘 My amazing partner Bailey and I have been together for over 12 years now, she is the most fun person to be around and fills my life with laughter & joy. She is smarter than me and beats me at Bananagrams almost every time. She also makes the best wedding films out @happyhousefilms taken in Auckland, New Zealand by @jonathansuckling
