Benjamin and Elise Photography

It's been 532 days since we last posted on social media. How is that even possible in this day and age!? 😱 But fear not, we haven't disappeared into thin air! We've been busy behind the scenes, so here's a crash-course catch up on the last year and a half! 🌟

Benjamin is still capturing beautiful moments (like this one!) at weddings throughout summer and Elise has been documenting parenthood for new and growing families. After 12 years we are still immensely grateful for our couples inviting us into their lives to document these precious times 📸💞

We've also been fully immersed in the joys and challenges of our own parenthood journey. Our three incredible daughters have been keeping us on our toes with our fair share of adventure, frustration, joy, growth and gratitude 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

But that's not all! Benjamin's creative agency has been thriving and growing at a rapid pace with a team of 10 staff and lots of epic clients/projects. From branding, commercial photography and video, to marketing campaigns, the creativity is flowing 🚀✨

Elise has been focusing on photographing families, and we can't wait to share those moments with you. Our social media will soon be brimming with real, authentic moments that reflect the love, laughter and joy that parents, babies and kids bring into this world! 😍👶👨‍👩‍👧

P.S. You won't have to wait another 532 days for our next post! ❤️

Being surrounded by family and friends helps make for a wonderful celebration of love.

The groom and the groomsmen, otherwise known as a mans best friends 🤝

It was so lovely to be a part of Jenny and Taylor's special day! 🤵👰

They had an Intimate family-only wedding ceremony inside and in front of the cosy fireplace before friends joined later in the day for a reception dinner.

COVID-19, unfortunately, meant that Anne's family and friends in the Philippines were unable to make the trip over for her special day! Despite this, Matt, their friends and Matt's family were there to make the day extra special, along with the power of technology for a direct live stream to the Philippines! 👩‍💻🤍

Julia and Eduardo - the perfect pair 🔐

Genuine laughter, genuine smiles, genuine love 🤍

The most beautiful day, with the most beautiful couple, Anne and Matthew 💌

Parliament building is a perfect spot for photos as it serves not only as a shelter from the classic Wellington wind, but it offers a beautiful mix of classic architecture and lush green backdrops!

The perfect two 🖤

Anne and Matthew, you were enchanting, as was your beautiful tropical reception at Begonia glasshouse.💚
