RELAXED. ELEGANT. ENTIRELY YOU.
Wedding photography for couples
who know what they want.
Based in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand
– photographing weddings across NZ and throughout Europe and the UK.
You shouldn’t have to think
about your photographer on
your wedding day.
My approach is built around one thing: letting you be completely present. No prompting, no awkward posing, no interruptions. Just the two of you, and the moments that matter — captured with an intuitive, editorial eye.
Most couples say they forgot I was even there. That’s exactly the point.
New Zealand Weddings
From intimate Hawke’s Bay celebrations to weddings in Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown – I’m based here, I know the light, and I love these landscapes.
Europe & UK Weddings
Each year I spend several months photographing weddings across Europe and the UK – from vineyard ceremonies in Tuscany and château gardens in France, to city elopements and country house celebrations across Britain. If you’re planning a destination wedding and want a photographer who travels well, let’s talk.

Kate & Can
Bodrum, Türkiye
It meant a lot to have a photographer from New Zealand who understood what mattered most to us, and Meredith exceeded every expectation. She instantly put us at ease and brought such a relaxed, positive energy, many guests even commented on how amazing she was.

Ocean Beach, Hawke’s Bay
Meredith is responsive, professional, down-to-earth, funny, and has an amazing way of capturing natural, sincere moments between people.
xara & francesco
Tuscany, Italy
Neither my wife nor I are super comfortable in front of the camera, but they made it all feel so natural and easy. It honestly felt like hanging out with friends who just happened to be taking incredible photos at the same time.
They instantly got our vibe and paid attention to all the little details that really mattered to us. It never felt staged or forced, just beautifully captured moments that felt totally us.
A Little About Me
Based in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, I spend our summer season shooting weddings at home before heading to Europe and the UK each year from June through September. I’m drawn to celebrations that feel considered, personal and a little removed from the expected.
My approach is shaped as much by observation as it is by intuition — knowing when to step in, and when to let a moment unfold on its own. The aim is always the same: to create imagery that feels natural, refined and genuinely reflective of the day.
