we’re always excited to head to new zealand for some epic love. on this journey got to shoot the sweetest of all the love stories: two strawberry farmers. maybe it was their SURREAL kiss. maybe it was their homemade ice cream on their farm. maybe it was the vintage cars they pulled up in. or maybe it was the dress that hannah’s mom made just for her. but there’s something about this wedding that we just adore. maybe it’s because it reminds us a little bit of our own shindig? it felt like a total labor of love and we ended up falling head over heels for the whole affair.

we love a dope portrait session. we always have such a good time jumping around town and keeping things light while capturing some epic shots. we sometimes feel there is a taboo around engagement sessions. but really, they should be looked at as a great way to get comfortable with your photographer and have stunning photos on your walls that aren’t from your wedding. to all of our future couples: more shoots like this one, please.

If you're paying close attention you'll notice that the bride (the incredibly talented Amalia Sieber) did all of the design and almost half of creating itself. The love that a couple puts into their wedding really shows and inevitably makes the day more meaningful for everyone involved. Especially the couple themselves.
Amalia and Brian are the embodiment of everything that JBM is all about and this celebration is a perfect example of this phenomenon.
