FROM A FORMER ELOPEMENT COUPLE

“I can’t speak highly enough of Fiona! She photographed our elopement in Fiji and the photos were so beautiful. She captured so many special and intimate moments. We really appreciated her calm and warm manner - she really helped to put us at ease. I would highly recommend her.”

Meet Fiona

For more than 25 years, I’ve photographed people with warmth, instinct and an eye for the fleeting moments that make a day feel alive. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, with thoughtful direction whenever you need it.

I’m based in Wānaka and photograph elopements throughout Cromwell, Bannockburn, Clyde, Alexandra and the wider Central Otago region. Whether your day unfolds among vineyards, beside a river or beneath the open sky, I’ll tell the story honestly and beautifully.
