International wedding photographer + filmmaker based in New Zealand and Europe, travelling near, far and inbetween.
An intimate elopement set in Glenorchy, beginning in the smallest church you ever did see. Ending with sunlight beaming through the Paradise Mountains, it was just incredible.

Amy & Jono gathered their nearest and dearest at Villa Buonvisi which is set amongst the Tuscan hills near Lucca, Italy. Together they created a dream day, enjoyed by all.

A wedding that felt straight out of a story book or movie. We spent the week at this magical location with Natalie, Kevin and their closest family and friends and it'll be a week we hold close to our hearts forever.

We truly love every single one of them!
You remembered everything I shared, and Peter and I are so touched to see those sweet, genuine moments of our family and friends captured so beautifully. Each image feels full of life and emotion, we can feel the joy of that day all over again. We’ve been missing the wedding so much, but looking through your photos brings back all that happiness and warmth.
Words honestly feel too simple to express how much we appreciate your incredible skill and the love you put into your work. Even though the photos are still, they’re full of energy and heart, capturing so many moments we didn’t even notice at the time. It truly feels like the luckiest thing to have had you there to document our once-in-a-lifetime day in such an artful and meaningful way.

Zara is an incredible photographer. We were lucky to have her capture both our wedding and a later celebration, and we’ll absolutely work with her again for future events. She has a remarkable creative eye, capturing the environment and emotion of the day beautifully. Her use of light was stunning, creating images we’ll treasure forever.
I’ve never been someone who loves photos of myself, but in Zara’s, I felt confident and beautiful. She made us feel completely comfortable, which really came through in the photos. Beyond her talent, she was highly professional. Scouting locations beforehand, arriving early to capture establishing shots of the venue, and being a great presence throughout the day.
Having Zara as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

ZARA.. They are so so so so beyond stunning in every way. You are truly a master of both analogue and digital! We can’t believe that’s us in those pictures. The amount of times I literally gasped looking through them..Speechless.
We are so so lucky to have you! We put a lot of time & energy into our wedding and you really just made every single detail shine like we could have never have realistically hoped for, our dreams have come true. I could honestly cry.

Z.S. , you were perfect! Literally no notes. It was so fun to have you around, and even better that you captured the moments so beautifully and thoughtfully, both the small and the big ones. Our photos are everything we wanted, I love them and so does Matt - and I don't know if you could tell but he's not someone that loves having photos of himself taken (I AM, LOVED EVERY CLICK haha) so that's really awesome!
Thank you so much for all your hard work, the heart and soul poured into the photos is evident. So happy we chose you!
P.S. Granny Susie has been absolutely raving about you to me since the wedding.

Zara is the best in the business. I am not sure how to convey how wonderful and seamless she made our wedding day. My husband and I are not big fans of getting our photos taken but we had so much fun creating magic with Zara. She was such a perfect addition to our wedding day and I would’ve chosen our wedding date based on her availability! Thank you Zara for giving us the gift of our photos, we will treasure them forever.

Zara is our dream photographer! She is down to earth and just an amazing human to work with - she's honestly so lovely. Zara's work really speaks for itself, our photos turned out more beautiful than we ever could have imagined and she made it so easy to be in front of the camera. I'm usually terrible at having my photo taken but she just made it such a natural and fun experience.
