KIND UNSOLICITED WORDS FROM A LOVING SISTER
Much love, Georgie
Hello Pia,
It’s Georgie, Richard's sister. He shared the wedding photos with us last night.
I’m just so in awe of you. What exceptional photos you have taken. I’m so impressed. They are beautiful.
You captured everything. I don’t understand how you were able to be in all the places you needed to be.
You even took pictures of mum and I crying during the speeches.
What a magic fairy you are.
Mum cried as soon as she started scrolling through them last night and she has continued to cry this morning (happy tears).
She is just so thankful that you took so many lovely ones of our family. It really means so much to us all.
And Rick and Laura are STOKED - they will have a hard time figuring out what to frame.
If I ever get married, I’ll be contacting you!
Thank you once again Pia. You have such a warm energy and made us feel instantly at ease.

Man O' War, Waiheke Island, New Zealand
A SOULFUL & ELEGANT LOVE STORY BY
THE SEA
Anna and Aabel married at Man O’ War vineyard on Waiheke, surrounded by greenery and a gentle breeze that made them feel at home. The vineyard was reminiscent of their home in Kerala, India. As they drove up the driveway, they knew they had found the perfect venue. It was important for them to be intentional and authentic in every aspect of their wedding day. From selecting the order of their marriage, incorporating both Indian and Western cultural elements, to having French fries on the dance floor, they aimed for each detail to reflect their unique personalities.

Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy
A RAIN-KISSED POSITANO ELOPEMENT
Jo and Stephen brought a truly unique touch to their day, by ditching tradition and traveling from Australia for their elopement. I had the privilege of helping them plan their day and document their intimate moments on a camcorder, which added a nostalgic, cinematic feel to their beautiful memories! From their private first look to the quiet, emotional moments throughout the day, every frame tells their story in a raw and authentic way. Their love unfolded naturally, and the video became a beautiful reflection of their heartfelt connection.

London, United Kingdom
Love in the heart of london
Lauren and James’ wedding in London was nothing short of unforgettable! As two Kiwis who’ve made London their home, they brought all the magic of this city into their day in the most beautiful and personal way. They embraced every bit of their personalities and their journey—whether it was riding a London bus, dancing in their favourite bar, or Lauren rocking that gorgeous two-piece with her pink rose bouquet. They didn’t worry about traditions or perfection; instead, they focused on what felt true to them, which made the day not only unforgettable but so authentic.

Behind the lens
Over the past decade, my work has taken me across the globe from intimate gathering to grand celebrations, to creative projects in remote areas, to soul-seeking photojournalistic assignments. Along the way, I’ve learned that some moments pass, others imprint. Memory-led art isn't just about preserving what happened, but capturing how it felt, so that years from now, you don’t just see the memory, you step back inside it.
It is these equally vast and delicate connections that deeply inspire me to go above and beyond in creating the best experiences. The new luxury is not just beauty. It’s memory, preserved.
