12 Months in London
May 2017 means we have spent twelve months away from home, and twelve months in London. It has been an incredible time. We have learnt a lot about ourselves, but most importantly - the world. This post is a very small selection of moments from each month.
Enjoy
May 2016
Adjusting to the hustle of London we managed to figure out the tubes, start working and even moved into our own place.
June 2016
Slowly we fell in love with the London we had dreamed about. Our first Europe trip, Amsterdam. We got to stay and explore with good friends from back home - Pete & Leah. It would not be the last time we saw them.
July 2016
The English summer was amazing, explored more of London and met the deer of Richmond Park. Our next trip was Berlin. Saw Pete & Leah again, plus two of my closest brothers from home.
October 2016
The first of October started at the end of the sail holiday in Athens. A very underrated city, we loved it. The warmth had started to go as Autumn in London set in. We ventured to the North East to Broadway Market which was way too tasty.
November 2016
We spent all of November in London. We made the most of Autumn and prepared for winter. The spirit of Christmas really made up for the cold (which wasn't that cold anyway).
January 2017
An impressive fireworks display over Edinburgh Castle saw us welcome in the New Year with new friends. We also rented a car and explored more of England - this time it was the Cotswold's ticking off Oxford on the way.
February 2017
Craving more snow we headed to Kaprun in Austria and stayed with Pete & Leah once again. We also spent half a day in Salzburg before flying to London. More sun meant exploring Portobello Road during the week when things are a little quieter.
March 2017
Another month spent in London. Explored the south east and visited The Royal Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Ate some delicious ceviche in Chelsea and cruised the River Thames on a river bus.
April 2017
April was epic. We went to Iceland with good friends Brook & Brit for a week. It's a trip I'll never forget as it's where we got engaged! It was good showing friends around our 'home'.
May 2017
The end of April and start of May we spent a week in Morocco - it also was epic. Through the Travel Talk tour we met some amazing people to share an amazing expierience with.
I love creating images that speak to me.
I grew up in a small town that nobody really knows about, Levin. Spent a good ten years in Hamilton making some of the best friends anyone could have. And now I’m living, working and playing in the city of Auckland, New Zealand. Also a small country that people have trouble locating – I’m looking at you America!
Life is about stories, and that’s what I love to capture and document. My shooting style is unobtrusive. You may be a natural in front of the camera, or have no idea what to do but before we even start I’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed.
Things I love: Travelling to wherever I can, my partner Monita, homemade burgers, wood fired pizzas, the smell of rain on a hot summers day, mountains, the snow, sunsets and sunrises, star gazing, natural light, the aesthetic of wood, crashing waves and day dreaming.
