Hi, here is a little background information about who I am and where I come from.
I currently live north of Auckland city and have a studio and home on the North Shore. I am happily married to my beautiful wife Nicola who works in early childhood education and we have two cats, Sandy and Guzzi. And yes, Guzzi is named after the Italian motorbike Guzzi, appropriately, as he purrs very loudly! I found Sandy abandoned in a side street close to the beach and decided to take her home, much to Nicola's delight!
Before moving to Auckland I worked in various media design studios. Most of my work involved film, television, still photography and post-production. A big part of my career involved shooting and creating environments for digital matte paintings, or virtual sets. I chose to make a gradual progression away from the film and television industry to develop my photography business over the last ten years. My initial photographic work involved commercial, portrait and wedding work.
My main field of work now is wedding photography which I specialise in.
In my early years I grew up in a sleepy farming community called Lepperton, located in the Taranaki region. Taranaki is on the west coast of the North Island and is commonly identified by its mountain, Mt Taranaki or Mt Egmont.
I feel privileged to have grown up in the country with a loving family and healthy lifestyle. My early exposure to the environment has given me a greater appreciation for nature and is now a passion. In my spare time I love exploring and traveling. I am a keen kayaker and tramping is also something I really enjoy. I am truly fortunate that my wedding photography takes me to some amazing places and I can experience the things I get the most enjoyment from.
Now that you know a little about my life, I hope I can share a small part of yours.
Thank you and good luck for the future.
