Previous bride review.“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 Me
I’ve been a photographer for over 25 years, drawn to moments full of beauty, spontaneity, and energy — the real, unscripted seconds that tell an honest story. My style blends documentary (reportage) with an editorial eye.
These days my work is focused on animals and their humans, and personal branding photography — creating images that feel modern, natural, and genuinely “you” (and very them). Whether it’s a dog who never stops moving, a quiet connection between a person and their animal, or a brand story that needs to feel polished but real, I’ll guide you calmly and keep the experience relaxed.
Over the years I’ve photographed more than 500 weddings in New Zealand and around the world, and I’m the author of Old Dog’s Wisdom (published by New Holland Australia) — a project close to my heart.
I also spent years as an editorial and commercial photographer in Auckland, working across magazines and television, and photographing a wide range of people — from presenters, actors and comedians to sporting stars and business leaders, including Stephen Fry and John Travolta.
If you’re after photographs that feel effortless, honest, and beautifully finished — I’d love to work with you.
