Gosh, where to start Kaeja and Gerard.........Surrounded with only those of great laughter and happiness, your lead up to the ceremony was so chilled and relaxed, gave you time to enjoy the moments and we loved spending time with you all very much. Teary eyes were there as you married and a real sense of family and belonging. A wee trip to the beach in winter winds was not stopping your crew and I think we both had as much fun as all of you, enjoying you being so happy. Thank you for having us to be part of such a precious day to you both, it was an honour and a pleasure. Wishing you many laughs, good love and happiness in your future together, Kathy and Amy xx

Janet + Andy

April 2, 2017 Kathy Elliston

On meeting Andy and Janet, they talked on how their wedding day would be. Janet's Mum would travel to N.Z along with their other friends attending. Their wedding would be held at the beautiful Kainui Vineyard and It was important to them they spent time enjoying their afternoon and evening with their family and friends, they wished their guests enjoyed themselves very much, and that they did.

Kerikeri put on it's finest summer afternoon, little Luca was a star, and the food, entertainment and everything else fell perfectly into place. Andy and Janet pulled out the bridal dance that blew everyones socks off and I don't know if we will ever see anything quite like it again.

Congratulations to you both Andy and Janet, many happily ever afters xx

Earlier in the year I had the pleasure of photographing Tanz and Ace's little man Cruz when he was ever so new, so hard to believe has just started to crawl already and is growing up so fast!.......It was nice to spend some time with Cruz's big sister, the gorgeous Astyn - Rae recently and here are some images from our afternoon venture xx Kathy

Sweet Taylor

October 31, 2016 Kathy Elliston

It was very exciting to find out that Taylor was born on my youngest sons Taylor's Birthday. The same name and the same Birthday & I could not wait to meet him. Congratulations Mana and Mike, and to big brother Jacob who utterly adores his new brother indeed. Some images of a very scrummy Taylor below for you xx

Perry Jane

October 18, 2016 Kathy Elliston

Oh gosh, what to say Taryn and Toby, you really do make the most scrummy little people that's for sure. Perry Jane has the most beautiful family to belong to in this world and I wish you all the happiness in your future together with Macy and now Perry to cherish and love. Welcome Perry, I look forward to seeing you grow (not too quickly) and explore the world. xx

Jack + Katy

September 13, 2016 Kathy Elliston

Katy is now the proud big sister to wee Jack (ohwww, how I just love both their names so much). A huge congratulations to George + Karen, who have just just witnessed Jack turning 3 months already - how time can whizz by alright. Jack was born prematurely so it was a little while before he went home, and now he enjoys being home with his family who love him so very much. Katy and Jack, you are just both too gorgeous!

Meet Lucy

July 18, 2016 Kathy Elliston

Lucy really is as scrummy as they get, what a gorgeous wee girl indeed! It is clearly obvious which family she belongs too, Lucy looks exactly like her big brother Jake who simply adores her to the moon and back, so sweet.

Hello, is it really June already?, eeeek it is hardly the beginning of the year where I keep thinking we are. It is a very exciting June for me and I am absolutely thrilled to be featured in the June/July 2016 issue of D-Photo Magazine where I talk about my passion for all things photography, what it meant to me from an early age and how it grew from there until now.

I also talk about our Photography Club. The Bay of Islands - Kaikohe Photography Club, we meet in Kerikeri once a month if there are any passionate photographers that wish to join us. We welcome new members and you are not required to be a professional to join our local club, there are members of all skill sets who simply enjoy photography. Please feel free to get in touch if this sounds like you.
