Welcome. I'm a Waikato-based photographer with a wholehearted approach & documentary style serving up bright, natural, joy-filled images for everyday people.
Hi! I'm Brooke. Based in Hamilton, I'm happy to travel & love exploring our beautiful Aotearoa & beyond.
As well as taking photos, I conduct choirs, perform & make music.
Here's some stuff that makes me glad to be living my life...
I reckon on your wedding day you should feel great & celebrate. Make the most of every wonderful moment, be your best version & have the time of your life with your favorite people.
You want to give you photos where you recognise yourself & remember feeling fantastic. Images that capture the sense of occasion; happy, real people having a jolly great time.
My life is full of fun creative expression, making art & music, hanging with my love, running, playing in my band DateMonthYear, enjoying delicious vegetarian food, conducting my awesome community choir MOSAIC, a spot of opera singing - these days often with a cabaret twist, tinkering with & cruising on my sweet Raleigh 20, collaborating on art projects, laughing & enjoying our beautiful country. And I have to admit - I'm a sucker for dress-up parties!
I've photographed small registry office affairs, second-time-'round celebrations & surprise elopements ...weddings on beaches & in those in churches ...some atop tall buildings & others in the bush ...in sunshine, before lunch & in cyclones ...at home & in the evening, laidback events & chaotic ones.
I can navigate drunk uncles, amuse the most sober bridal party & chat with your Nana. I can be nice & just the right kind of bossy, if the situation calls for it!
I've got tales ...& I'm happy to share the associated inspiration, insights and lessons learnt.
My Summer wedding collections start from$3,000 for 6hrs with two photographers... I deliver high-resolution images on USB & offer beautiful wedding journals & albums.
If you're doing things a little differently (not the classic Saturday Summer wedding) send me a request & let's see what we can do!
