Hey you! π I’m Eilish, a wedding photographer proudly based in the stunning Bay of Plenty on New Zealand’s North Island. I’ve captured your “I Do’s” everywhere from New Zealand to beautiful Australia, the tropics, and even Europe! Who knew my camera could earn more frequent flyer points than I do? Still pinching myself over this ‘job’ of mine! However, I would like to share my stories wee plot twist with youβ¦
Turning my passion and dream into a full-time career was the real challenge! Just two weeks before my 21st birthday in 2016, I got hit with the crushing news that I had the dreaded ‘C’. Yep, 20-year-old Eilish was diagnosed with cancer.
But having cancer at a young age turned out to be a wild teacher, shaping me into who I am today. For all the strength and resilience I gained from that chapter, Iβm super grateful! I promised myself to make the most of every day and do what I love best: documenting life’s precious moments. Waking up on a Monday truly is never a drag when youβve got the job of your dreamsβthe occasional battle with the snooze button doesnβt happen nearly as often anymore, haha.
Capturing your most iconic momentsβand even those in-betweenβfills my soppy heart in a way I can’t quite describe. Your happiness brings me so much joy, and I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I look forward to hearing your love story and connecting with you soon!
With much love,
Eilish x
