I’m a photographer based in Northland, New Zealand, specialising in weddings, couples, and lifestyle photography. My style is natural, elegant, and timeless — focused on creating images that feel genuine and full of emotion.

Photography has been part of my life for over 10 years, and the more I do it, the more I fall in love with it. What started as a creative outlet has grown into something deeply meaningful — being invited into people’s lives to document their most important moments.

Whether it’s a wedding day, a couples session, or a family shoot at home, I love capturing the emotion, the energy, and the connections that make each story unique.

I know having your photo taken can feel awkward (especially by someone you’ve just met), which is why my approach is relaxed and easy-going. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable — like you’re just hanging out with a friend.

I want your experience to feel fun, natural, and genuinely enjoyable.

I’d love to chat and hear more about your plans. I can’t wait to meet you!

  • “Thanks so much for the photos we absolutely love them! We sat down on Tuesday night and looked through them at least 3 times for a couple of hours didn't want to stop. It was so nice having you as the photographer on the day you were super calming and great at directing to get good pics.”

  • "Ruby has a gift of capturing the dreams you’ve stored in the theatre of your mind and the ephemeral moments you wish could last forever. She pursues excellence and successfully reaches degrees above your expectations. We were stunned with how our wee, micro-wedding could look so dreamy! The final photo’s radiated such elegance, timelessness, and affection."
