ANGELIQUE + DREW

Love that feels like an adventure, captured in a place that takes your breath away. The dramatic landscapes set the perfect stage for this intimate celebration—where mountains stand as witnesses and the wind carries whispers of forever.

Dreaming of photographing love stories all over the world—wherever your journey takes you, I’d love to be there to capture it. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

The best photos aren’t just posed—they’re felt. When couples are given the space to slow down, be present, and truly connect, the magic unfolds naturally. That’s why my approach isn’t about stiff poses or forced moments—it’s about creating an experience where you can simply be yourselves. If you’re dreaming of photos that feel as real as your love, let’s create something beautiful together.

There’s something timeless about black and white photography—like a love story frozen in time. The grain, the contrast, the nostalgia… it feels like a scene from an old romance film, where every glance and touch tells a story. Vintage love, captured forever.

If you’re dreaming of your own timeless moments, let’s create something beautiful together. Book a session with me, and let’s turn your love story into art!

Here’s to 2025—may it be filled with unforgettable adventures, endless love, and beautiful weddings that tell stories worth capturing. Cheers to the year ahead and all the magic it holds!

🌟 Goodbye, 2024. Hello, 2025! 🌟

2024 has been hard. Like, “sit down and question everything” hard. But through all the challenges, I’ve grown, adapted, and pushed myself further than I thought possible.

Looking back, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come—not just in my work, but in my strength, resilience, and determination. And while this year wasn’t easy, it’s laid the foundation for something truly amazing.

2025, I’m ready for you. I have no doubt it’s going to be bigger, brighter, and even more transformative. I can’t wait to embrace all the new opportunities and continue evolving.

To every single one of you who has followed along on this journey: THANK YOU. Your support, encouragement, and kindness have meant the world to me. Here’s to moving forward together—onward and upward!

✨ Let’s make 2025 unforgettable. ✨

Throw back Thursday to C + S making forever their reality!! 😍♥️

Spent the most incredible day capturing D + A’s beautiful love story. From heartfelt vows to epic dance moves, every moment was pure magic. They say love is all about finding that one special person to annoy for the rest of your life... and you two seem really excited about it! Wishing you a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and endless happiness. Cheers to forever! 🥂✨

Guess who’s back?! 🙋‍♀️ It’s been a minute (or two), but life has been a beautiful, chaotic whirlwind. Between capturing I do’s all wedding season long, chasing kiddos for Christmas family sessions, and working on something SUPER exciting (spoiler alert: a whole new look 🎉), I’ve basically been living on coffee and good vibes.

But trust me, the wait will be worth it because my rebrand is the cherry on top of this crazy, wonderful cake 🍒🎂. Can’t wait to share it with you all soon—stay tuned for the glow-up! ✨

✨Engagement sessions are more than just a fun way to celebrate your love—they’re a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day! ✨

Here’s why you should definitely book one:
💍 Get to Know Your Photographer – It’s the perfect opportunity to build rapport and feel at ease with the person who will be capturing your wedding day moments.
💖 Celebrate Your Love – It’s a time to focus on each other and create memories that represent your unique relationship.
🌟 More Photos to Cherish – Engagement sessions give you extra gorgeous shots to share, display, or include in your wedding decor.
😊 Have Fun Together – Most importantly, it’s about enjoying the experience with your partner, laughing, and creating special memories together.

Trust me, it’s not just a photo op—it’s an investment in your wedding day, your experience, and the memories that will last a lifetime.

Hahah well this video sums me up!! How timely to announce that I make mistakes and then make one and the same breathe 😂 what I was meant to say was “I don’t enjoy being in front of the camera”…

Anyway, I am so nervous yet super excited for what’s to come in this next season!! And THANK YOU to all those who have been faithful in this journey returning over and over again. A massive welcome to all those new friendly faces, I truly hope we get to work together soon!!

So from the 08 December 2024 (MAKE A NOTE) we will be launching a new campaign as Erin Combrinck - Photographer!! Eeeep! 😍😍

Also BIGGEST shout out to Leticia at @organiclines.design for making dreams become a reality!!

Māmā, I get it – the overthinking is real! But let me tell you why you definitely should capture this special milestone with a maternity session:

• This moment is fleeting. Before you know it, you’ll be holding your little one in your arms, and these beautiful pregnancy days will be a blur.

•You deserve to be celebrated. Growing a tiny human is nothing short of amazing – let’s showcase that strength and beauty.

• It’s a keepsake for your child. These images will become part of their story, a reminder of how loved they were from the very beginning.

Don’t stress about the details. Let’s focus on YOU and this magical chapter.

As we are fasting approaching the end of the year I can’t help but reflect back to just how far our little city has come. T + R tied the knot 2 weeks after the cyclone last year and although there was so much destruction, sadness and loss it was a time people came together and found hope, love and happiness in the little things of love! This special day will forever be one I remember ♥️

If you are a bride to be or newly engaged, wondering if it’s worth doing an engagement session… LET THIS BE YOUR SIGN 🙌🏽! It is TOTALLY worth it. Having fun, it could be a date night idea and creating memories that will be treasured for the once in a lifetime season of being engaged…

What is holding you back?

@lifewithclassics were the most beautiful couple who modelled at our styled wedding session in Queenstown last week. They drove the cutest little car to brave the weather for 24 crazy photographers eager to capture the most beautiful scenery! So thankful to have made new friends, shared many laughs and countless memories!! Thankful to @collectivestudiosnz for organising it all! This is my last Queenstown spam I promise 😉😂
