Hi, I'm Charlotte!

 

HAWKE'S BAY, MANAWATŪ & WELLINGTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER


Hi, I'm Charlotte! A wedding, family and branding photographer based in Central Hawke's Bay, photographing people, love stories and businesses throughout Hawke's Bay, Manawatū and Wellington. I grew up in the Manawatū and now live and work in Central Hawke's Bay.


I'm also a mum of two, wife to Trev, and someone who loves nothing more than spending time with my family by the lake.


Having my own children has shown me just how quickly life changes, and how much photographs grow in meaning over time. They're not just about remembering how things looked, but how life felt, the people we love and all those little moments that make up our story.

My approach to photography is relaxed and natural, with a mixture of candid moments and beautiful, timeless portraits. Whether I'm photographing your wedding day, capturing your growing family or creating images for your business, I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy the experience and walk away with photographs you'll genuinely love.


I'm lucky enough to photograph weddings throughout Hawke's Bay, Manawatū and Wellington, along with family, maternity and newborn sessions, and branding and commercial photography across Hawke's Bay and Manawatū.

I'd love to hear your story and help capture this chapter of your life.

MY WHY

Meet my family! My beautiful, wonderful and sometimes crazy family. They're my reason why.


As our children grow (like literal weeds!), I'm constantly reminded just how quickly time passes. One minute they're tiny, and the next another birthday or Christmas has rolled around, and another year has flown by.

It's so easy to put family photos off until life slows down, the kids are a little older, or the timing feels just right. But the truth is, these are the moments we'll wish we could go back to.


I know how much our family photographs mean to me, and how much more precious they'll become as the years go by.


That's why I do what I do. I want to give other families and couples photographs that capture their lives as they are, to look back on, share with their children and treasure for generations.


Because one day, these ordinary moments will mean everything.
