Sometimes it’s all about the dress. For this Caldera Estate styled shoot, the brief centred around a striking second look worn by model Georgia Waddington, paired with bold red blooms that felt modern, romantic and just a little bit dramatic.

The standout for us was the incredible long-stemmed roses. Elegant, sculptural and impossible to ignore, they created a bouquet that felt effortless while making a serious statement. Set against the rugged beauty of Akaroa and the contemporary architecture of Caldera, the result was equal parts fashion editorial and wedding inspiration.

A reminder that sometimes all you need is an amazing dress, simple flowers and a stunning backdrop.
