Ready To Pop The Question?

Auckland proposal Photographer

Proposing to the love of your life and asking them to become your life partner is one of the top moments in your relationship. It is the moment that starts a new chapter in your lives, you become a fiance' rather than just a partner and you start to plan the rest of your lives together.

True happiness is hard to find, some people can find the one at a first instance and some search for many years. Everyone wants someone to grow old with, someone to experience life together, someone that will know them better than anybody else and someone they get to tell everyday how much they love them!

A proposal is the first day that shows they are everything you are looking for, where you show the world how important this day is to you to keep them for eternity! And to start an love story that everybody wants. I have created and photographed over 101 proposals. Let me help you create the start of your love story I have started a new business focusing completely on Proposal Planning

The Start of Forever, Photographed.

The moment you ask is one you’ll never want to forget, and it happens in an instant. My job is to capture every reaction, every smile, every happy tear. I’ll stay behind the scenes so it feels natural, then step in afterwards for a mini session so you walk away with images that tell the whole story.

Relive The Moment, Frame by Frame.

proposal Videography

A highlight video is the perfect addition to your proposal - capturing the joy, surprise, and emotion in a way that photos alone can’t. Whether it’s a romantic reel to share on social media, a heartfelt announcement for family and friends, or a keepsake to play at your engagement party, video brings your love story to life all over again.

These short, cinematic films weave together every smile, every tear, and every “yes,” giving you a memory that lasts forever and a story you’ll be proud to share.
