When we were deciding on a wedding in New Zealand we were captivated by the Christchurch city landscape. Jemima listened to what was important to us and delivered the most amazing wedding photos.

I first meet Jemima when I asked her to take some pregnancy photographs and they are just so beautiful. Once our little baby girl was born we decided to have some newborn photos taken. She has such a natural way with children and has the patience of a saint. Nothing was too much trouble we highly recommend her as the best portrait photographer we have worked with.' Anna
