Educated in Business Media at Bond University, I enjoy working on sideline promotional projects and with charity organisations. Predominantly I have juggled hospitality & photography. My hospitality training started at Marriott Hotels; a great platform in which I learnt all facets of events.
My interest in hospitality stems from my Father - Jack Cooper, now better known as 'Trader Jack', a family business in which I have helped operate in Rarotonga. As of late, I held the position of Wedding & Events Co-ordinator with Pacific Resort Rarotonga. The experience has been invaluable to my wedding photography.
Of inquisitive nature, I find photography fulfilling in so many ways ~ real life is beautiful & to capture a very special day in someone’s life is a unique & rewarding experience. Having assisted in photography & cinematography for many years in the areas of commercial, wedding, fashion & art, I have developed an eye for detail, the imperativeness of timeliness & the necessity to have fun! I strongly believe more fun equals better results.
Getting to know each other in the consultation before the shoot allows for any questions to be answered & puts everyone at ease. My photography is free flowing, expressive, fun and all about capturing magic.
Expect the unexpected
