Sports Event Photography (Auckland photographer) - Ice Figure Skating

If you are wondering what Im up to in between of wedding seasons. The answer is simple - I’m not only skating myself as an adult ice skater (and have my daughter skating), but also happy to help skating community and capture sports event photography in Auckland (and experienced event photographer by now shooting over 10 seasons) - my favourite ice figure skating competitions during the skating season (which falls perfectly in between of my favourite couples and weddings, family photo shoots). When weather not so nice with big chance of rain, and wind on the beach, great to spent time inside to enjoy warm atmosphere at competitions.

Perfect for me to put together two of my passions - photography and skating!

This year I been asked to be an official photographer for three sport events - competitions in Auckland: Skate Academy Competitions, Allegro Championship and North Island Championships.

Enjoy these moments of beauty, power and grace in photo gallery highlights:

Family photo shoot at Christmas Holidays (Orewa Beach - North Shore photographer)

Christmas and New Year is a perfect time to get together with family and have some photos taken to create memories for years to come.

Thats why extended family photo shoots are so popular, and I just love to see how all family comes together and have an opportunity not only capture them all but also do some quick photos of each small family.

This time I went to Orewa to capture Sally and John’s beautiful family with their three grown up kids and their partners. It was a pleasure to meet this family again as I already captured their son’s wedding (and now they are expecting +1) and pre-wedding photo shoot, other two kids’ graduations and family photos and Sally’s beautiful performances on the ice (she is my friend and fellow adult figure skater - living the same passion).

I had feeling like Im capturing my own family. So good to see these beatiful people again! Even small rain cant stand on the way this family gathering!

Skaters get the opportunity to relax, have fun and choose any character and create a fun or emotional routine specially for this competitions.

Wedding at Little Wilderness - Olga and Juan (Kumeu) photography

Congratulations Olga & Juan celebrated their special wedding day with close friends and family at Little Wilderness (Kumeu). Feels like we just done with this beautiful couple their pre-wedding photo shoot and big day come so fast!

Olga’s parents made their way from Russia to celebrate this day with couple. Unfortunately Juan’s parents cant come due to the sad times in family - nana passed away, but they can still participate watching online through Live stream. Such a special memories for years to come!

Couple shared their love story: “We met at an English school a bit more than 6 years ago. Our mutual friend introduced us to each other. I didn't like him initially because he didn't believe that I was Russian and I needed to show him my passport. He was a bit arrogant and mean. Then with time, we started hanging out more and having long conversations. We understood that we have many things in common. Without realizing we started dating, and now we are getting married and cannot imagine living without each other.” Proposal story is very touching as well: I came back home from work on the 31st of December and he asked me to check something in our room. There was a little necklace on the deb and a letter. When I read it I was almost crying as it was beautiful. When I turned around he was on his knee with a ring box in his hand and asked me to marry him.” Such a special memories!
