Outside of weddings, here’s what I get up to…
I live in Manly, Auckland along with my beautiful wife, Alenka, and our wonderful children - Marigold (Goldie) and Bendigo (Benni). We also have a chocolate labradoodle named Willow.

I have spent the better part of ten years capturing stills for well over 150 TV shows, films & documentaries. This work has taken me across the world and I have had the privilege to collaborate with some of the finest directors, camera operators, producers and publicists.

On set stills photography for ‘Project Runway’.
Stills production for 4x seasons of ‘Dancing With The Stars’.

During spare time you’ll find me exploring backcountry rivers with a fly rod, or out on the boat catching dinner. I also enjoy gardening, reading biographies and cleaning. My hobbies may resemble those of a baby boomer but I’m okay with that. My wife and I attend Life Church in Auckland and I also serve as a trustee for Excel School of Performing Arts, where I attended as a student in 2010. Fun fact: I recorded and released two albums and completed multiple tours as a singer/songwriter performing folk, indie, pop music across NZ.

‘Tina Tuna’ delivers the freshest fish tacos in Manly, and also provides great Sunday arvo beers for the lads - simply the best.
