I had the opportunity to do some commercial photography for the beautiful Tropica Island Resort on Malolo Island (in the Mamanucas island group – Fiji). As soon as I arrived, I could feel the intimacy and peace surrounding me in this boutique resort. Sue, the owner gave me a warm welcome, and showed me a few of their event arrangements, ready to shoot! First wedding, then birthday and romantic dinners…

Swas and Amit came all the way from Texas to visit Fiji, and to celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary. We did the photoshoot along the beach of the Sheraton and its numerous palm trees. At the Westin’s spa, and its rainforest grounds. They have been together for 12 years and there was no doubt: these two were meant to be!

Candy and Ernest, while enjoying a week of holidays in Fiji, wanted to bring home a special memory to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. The couple were like fish in the water. Tokoriki Island Resort is a very special place and absolutely perfect for their photoshoot.

Andrea and Ivan were engaged for three years, and finally decided to tie the knot in Fiji. They wanted a very small reception; six guests only, her best friend and two other families. Their desire was mainly to be with their young children Juliet and Samuel, only one and three years of age. As a wedding and family photographer it was a delightful day to document. Plenty of candid and spontaneous moments. It was a day filled with energy and with so much joy and laughter.

Laure and Cyril travelled across the world to visit New Zealand and decided to get married during their trip. Only the celebrant and two witnesses attended the ceremony. And me of course, to capture this intimate and quite unique wedding.

It’s one of those weddings I could do in black and white: there is something original and modern about it. Melanie and Mark got married at the Officer’s Mess on the cliff top looking out to Rangitoto between Takapuna and Devonport. The ceremony was personal and very moving. We did the formals on the top of North Head, one of the many volcanoes in Auckland. Here we could enjoy a 360 degree view over Auckland and use the ageing bunkers as well as the long grass and flowers surrounding us. What a setting!

It was on a beautiful sunset day, with no wind but the lovely couple of Rochelle and Anthony at Muriwai Beach (west Auckland). Their engagement session was a blast of love, colours and joy. Accompanied by the loyal and crazy black Skyla the photoshoot was even more fun. These two got engaged by the beach, its beauty and eternity.
