Bri, Seth and I met up one afternoon to yarn over a beer (or so) about their wedding. We got on to the topic of locations for their pics and the potential use of a chopper was mentioned.
My eyes lit up
Northburn, their venue, is nestled in a valley surrounded by the kind of scenery I cry out for. Barren, open moorland with gnarled rocky Tors, think Dartmoor in the UK, with a dash of NZ/Iceland thrown in.
I get super excited when there’s an opportunity to do some shooting in new and interesting locations. I spend hours pouring over Google Earth and looking at topographic maps for interesting spots. And there was so much on hand, I knew we were on to a winner.
Bri and Seth’s wedding didn’t disappoint, it was a cracker of a day. And yeah we were pretty stoked with the locations we found.
Here’s a wee look at what I encountered…

Jim you truly are a consummate professional; on a seriously hot Central Otago day you helped to guide us and captured our special day perfectly. Your enthusiasm and passion for what you do is evident in our beautiful photos and in how much we enjoyed having you part of it all. We have the biggest smiles here in Melbourne; thank you so very much!
P.S. Seth is still laughing about the Harley making the final cut!
Dear Bri & Seth
