Rock Ya Frock!

There is so much fun to be had with your dress!

Call it "Drown the Gown", "Trash the Dress" or "Rock your Frock"

...Gal go for it!

Rocking your Frock is NOT (necessarily) about trashing your dress!

It's about making the MOST of your wonderful wedding experience.

Sometime AFTER your wedding day, you get to dress up again,

gather some MORE amazing memories,

and have an absolute BLAST creating simply stunning photographs

that CELEBRATE your sense of fun, adventure and femininity.

  • You choose whether to drape just the hem of your dress in the tide, or go swimming!
  • Whether you're into hunting or go-carts. If you want to climb mountains or stand in a fountain.
  • I'll work with you and within YOUR limits.
  • Be creative and let your personalities truely shine! Allow this shoot to fully reflect who you are.
  • You don't have to wreck your dress! Usually a good wash in the bath will restore your gown.
  • My primary aim is to capture your beauty and celebrate your marriage.
  • Talk to me if you're concerned about your dress.
  • Encourage your groom to participate too - the images are even better with him in the frame!
  • Couldn't trust your pet to behave at your ceremony but wanted to include him / her too?
  • Bring your furry friend to your Rock Ya Frock shoot!
  • Experience none of the stress or time pressure of your actual wedding day.
  • Enjoy dressing up as a princess again. If once is great - twice is even better!
  • Timing is flexible so if you missed those sunset shots, now's your opportunity.

  • Drown the Gown (or "Trash the Dress" is a quickly growing trend in NZ wedding photography. While I prefer to "Drown" rather than "Trash", I'm up for just about any shoot you can envisage. Instead of letting moths slowly eat away at your dress, why don't you give me a call and talk about how we can achieve some genuine immortality for that memory-filled garment.

Hey Sandra, WOW! All I can say is WOOOWWW. The photos are AMAZING!!
I couldn't have asked for anything better in terms of service, promptness,
communication, personality & work-a-bility of the photographer.
WOW! It looks like you've cut me out & placed me in the backgrounds. LOL!
They just look super stunning.
You did a wonderful job! Steph.
