ABOUT ME
Turning Your Dreams Into Reality
I am young, full of personality and pride myself on delivering a very professional service. While your ceremony has a few legal elements to it I really believe there are no rules to what you can have on your big day. If you want to have a dress up theme, go for it....Im happy to wear one too.... no shoes on the beach...Im all for it! I love to laugh and enjoy myself and believe that your ceremony is supposed to be light and love filled so everyone can enjoy the moment.
My life has been about living it to the fullest. Whatever I am doing I do it with passion and to the best of my ability. I grew up in Papua New Guinea where I was surrounded and raised with so many different cultures. This made me adaptable from a very young age and very passionate about travelling.
I was fortunate enough to get a job as a Photographer straight out of design school and worked for Princess Cruises (The Love Boat) for 6 years. I cruised around the world photographing amazing places and people. I ended up photographing weddings and being surrounded by people from every walk of life, which created some of the most important relationships I still have today.
After I moved back to New Zealand I dabbled in snow making at Mt Ruapehu, so I could indulge my love of snow boarding. I joined the New Zealand Police and worked as a Photographer before I moved to Cairns, Australia in 2016 with my daughter and our Pug dog Baxter. We loved the lifestyle the Northern Beaches created and this is where my Celebrant journey began.
I completed my Celebrant training course in 2017 through Rose Training in Brisbane, Australia. Since then I have married numerous couples and when I moved back to Wellington I wanted to continue to do what I love and became a registered Celebrant in 2021.
