For their wedding Tori and Jonny; from New Zealand, gathered their friends and family in Fiji at the Outrigger. As a photographer it was a delight to capture so many DIY details. Tori’s mother did all the bouquets and button holes, the invitations were all hand-made, one by one with love. The time and energy the couple had spent with so much attention to detail made the day so special.

Jade, from Australia, Allen, from New Zealand chose the Outrigger Fiji to get married. It was a full day with an early start and a late end : a real party! The Tototka hair and make up team did a fabulous job all morning with Jade and her three daughters, who she decided were her bridesmaids. The complicity between them all was really touching.

Sirinya and Sam contacted about one year prior their wedding. We got to meet and talk about the details and their will for a special and sumptuous wedding album. The couple also wanted to get some urban wedding photography, which was perfect since the Sofitel (Auckland, Viaduct) is only a 5 minutes ride from the Silo park, where we could find all we needed for that matter. There was a few showers but it stopped just for our formal photo session and it was perfect because the usually busy area was all ours!

Lance is fond of surfing, Niki and their children love the beach: Fiji was simply the perfect destination for their wedding. They had organised some very special and personal touches to their wedding.

Emily and Andrew, parents of four lovely children, decided to officially exchange their vows. Plantation Island Resort in Fiji was the perfect venue to gather their family coming from Australia and South Africa. To celebrate their union in a tropical manner, the parents can relax and sip a cocktail, it is heaven for children with its beautiful beach, kid’s club and water park.

Nikki and Lance got married with the whole family at the Sofitel Denarau in Fiji. It was a wonderful celebration with a lot of joy. Their bridal party made sure that everything came together the way the married couple dreamed it and that it was a fun day!

A few tears, the best of friends, a stunning venue and lots of love That was Beini and Jason’s wedding at the Warwick. ( A 5 star luxury resort along the Coral Coast of Fiji’s mainland). After a powerful ceremony the couple wanted to get a few “edgy” photos, rather than the classic (but always beautiful) beach vibe. So we went to a run down building and among the grown herbs made use of the different textures on the walls marked by the time.

Claire and Jonathan wanted a simple and very relaxed wedding. So they decided to go to Fiji for a wedding holidays with their two very cute sons ages of 1 and 3. After a rainy week they got lucky and in the morning before they started to get ready we did a photo session with the two brothers spontaneous and playful. Vomo island resort is one of the classiest family resort in Fiji : it has its adults only corners only and you can relax and always feel intimacy. The food is incredible… A real 5 stars!!

Aurelie et Olivier ont traverse la planète pour se marier. Amoureux de la nature ceci s’est passe au bord la plage sauvage Karekare (ouest d’Auckland) avec ses falaises impressionnantes et son paysage sauvage. Il n’y avait que Carla, la célébrante, et son assistant, ainsi que moi-meme, qui pour une fois était du coté des témoins!

Aurelie and Olivier came all the way from France to get married in New Zealand. The couple are lovers of the great outdoors, they exchanged their vows at the wild Karekare Beach; (west Auckland, New Zealand) an incredibly raw landscape. Only Carla, the celebrant, and her assistant were there to witness the union between the two lovebirds.

Photographing Katie and Lee’s elopement filled me with pure joy. They exchanged their vows on the beautiful Natadola beach by Yatule resort. They prepared for the ceremony at the Intercontinental Resort.

This couple came to Fiji from the cold Chinese winter to get married with their closest family. Their aim was to experience Fijian culture and what Fiji has to offer. They had a traditional Fijian intimate wedding ceremony at Paradise Cove resort, in the Yasawas islands.

Here is a day where the bride and groom made sure that every detail was perfect, so everyone including them could just enjoy the celebration of their union. They tell us about the process to create that day. The images also testify how much love and time they gave to make this party happen.

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…

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.
