Welcome magazine

From an early age I have been fascinated with photography. Growing up in an artistic family helped me to explore this passion freely, and I was always encouraged to follow my dreams. I spent years in high school and university studying film photography. The desire to photograph life, along with the magic of the darkroom, made me fall hopelessly in love with this art.

In 2010 I moved to Paris to further my training, and in 2011 graduated with a diploma in professional photography from Spéos Photographic Institute.

To me, photography is the ability to tell stories. Combining beautiful real-life moments with the desire to create art is what inspires and motivates me every day. When I look through the viewfinder, everything falls into place, and the story unfolds frame by frame. I’m in the background, watching the moments happen and capturing them just as they are. I am so thankful that I am able to work doing something I love, and I hope to get the chance to share this with you.

THE CUSTOM ALBUM

I believe the unique, custom designed Queensberry albums to be the best on the market and, without a doubt, they are the most lovely way to remember your day. With the variety of albums available, we can create one to suit your style and budget. Customisable features include album size, format, page style, cover design and cover material, to name a few. We will discuss, rearrange and edit the images and layout until

you are 100% satisfied. * Don’t feel rushed to order a custom album before the wedding. It’s best to make that decision afterwards, when

you’ve had a chance to see your photos and decide how you would like to showcase them.

FINE-ART PRINTS AND CANVAS - From $250

These fine-art prints are on Sihl 100% cotton-base, acid-free structured art paper, and are mounted on 5mm ultra board. Canvas prints are framed with your choice of black,

white or full image wrap border. Available in small (14” x 10”), medium (18” x 12”)or large (32” x 20”).

ONLINE SHOP

Your online gallery is also an online shop. It’s a great way for friends and family to purchase their own favourite images without bothering the newlyweds. Printed at a professional lab, images are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Best of all, it's easy

and hassle free.

It is impossible to describe the delight of having your own wedding album -- I hope you will discover and rediscover that for yourselves over the years. I can happily say that the Queensberry albums I offer are some of the best on the market. Made from the highest-quality materials, these albums are completely handcrafted by a passionate and knowledgable team based in Auckland, New Zealand. Regardless of which album you choose, its final design involves a thorough discussion and revision process to help you feel completely satisfied. And trust me, you will.

I have heard many stories about couples who have taken years to print their wedding photos. The most common reason for this is the difficulty of making the decisions -- where to print, what album to use, or how to choose between the hundreds of images taken. You could print the whole batch at your local photo lab, but there is a good chance you would be disappointed with the results. One of the reasons for not purchasing an album may be due to the extra cost. Budgets can be stretched before the big day, and the thought of spending even more on a wedding album might seem hard to justify. In the long term, though, you will be happy you did. It truly is an investment, a decision for your future. Not only will you have something beautiful to hold, something that tells your story again and again, but it will be a timeless treasure that won’t ever be outdated.

Let’s meet. A key to great wedding photos is the connection you have with your photographer.

If you’re close by, we can meet for a coffee (or wine). If you’re overseas, we can chat over Skype or on the phone. This will give you a chance to get to know me and how I work. I’ll answer any questions and be as helpful as possible. Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision, and you want to feel satisfied with your choice!
