Alternative Wedding Photographer

in Christchurch

and I absabloodylutely

LOVE shooting weddings!

Heya folks! I'm Liza!

I'm a Christchurch-born, travel-loving alternative wedding photographer, recently back home in Ōtautahi, Aotearoa after more than 20 years living in the UK.

And blimey, it's good to be back!

I live with my wife Katy and our gorgeous fur baby Daisy, who has absolutely no idea she's a dog. We love road trips in our truck, getting out into nature, exploring new places and generally finding ourselves on little adventures.

I'm SO happy to be rediscovering all those wonderful places around Canterbury and Aotearoa New Zealand that I grew up loving.

I'm a romantic at heart, which is probably a good thing because I absabloodylutely LOVE photographing weddings!

After more than 10 years photographing weddings in the UK, I still find myself shedding a tear or two. It's the little things that get me. The raw excitement and nerves while everyone's getting ready, the parent who didn't think they'd cry but absolutely does, the couple who can't stop grinning during their ceremony and, of course, those enormous post-ceremony hugs. OMG! Bloody lovely. All of it.

As someone who's part of the LGBTQ+ community, celebrating queer love and photographing people who are completely themselves means a great deal to me. I'm all for doing things your own way, ditching traditions that don't feel right and making your wedding a proper reflection of who you are.

I've always loved travelling, meeting people and collecting experiences. I've got 29 photo albums stacked up in my study, full of adventures and memories from around the world. I put together my very first photo album when I was eight, so I guess this photography obsession has been going on for a while!

Life for me is all about people, experiences, those milestone moments and living and loving to the absolute max. And what better way to capture and relive those memories than through photography?

I'll tell the WHOLE story of one of the best days of your lives, from start to finish, and give you beautiful, natural photographs that you'll look back on with giggles and love for years to come.

Love Liza x

LIVING THE DREAM

Only thing with cycling half way across Spain on the Camino de Santiago is that I had to use random fence posts to help prop up my camera!

I've always loved photography. Bliss for me is exploring a new place, camera in hand and getting lost, really lost.
