A love note in every moment
At Sunrise Sapphires, we don’t just create – we whisper stories through our art.
Handcrafted with a commitment to sustainability, our pieces are designed to be lit, worn, or breathed in; each creation a love note embodying elegance, emotion, and timeless storytelling.
Our photoshoots capture fleeting moments with a cinematic, editorial touch – intimate, timeless, and tenderly told. From brand campaigns and luxury travel content to weddings and personal portraits, we craft visual narratives that feel both artful and eternal.
Whether in the windswept coasts of New Zealand or across international destinations, our lens captures not just the scene, but the soul of the moment.
Each piece, each photograph, is meant to mean something – an anchor to the moments you never want to slip away.
Meet the founder
Kerry McCabe
It’s the coziness of being tucked up to the calming glow of a candle on a cold, wintry night while you listen to the rain pour outside.
It’s late night drives to Macca’s and chasing sunsets in Summertime.
It’s the sip of a freshly brewed tea as you soak in the slow morning.
It’s the adventure of discovering new places and the familiarity of coming home.
It’s these fleeting moments of a feeling indescribable, that inspired Sunrise Sapphires.
Hi, I’m Kerry - a storyteller, a dreamer, and someone who believes in the romance of being alive.
Growing up, we had a box of old family photos. Every once in a while we would bring that box out and I always felt a profound sense of nostalgia that brought back laughter, stories, and the warmth of moments once shared.
It’s an experience I want to gift to my clients through my own lens and series of products. To be transported to a moment of indescribable feeling that makes life so magical.
It was battling through a period of depression that shaped the way I see the world now: life is fleeting, fragile, and utterly beautiful. The milestones, the people, the raw little moments in between - they matter. They’re worth being present for, not just scrolled past.
That’s why my work is never about perfection, but about authenticity, timelessness, and emotion you can feel.
It’s about reminding you of what it means to be here, alive, and in love with your own story.
Because every small detail is meant to be cherished.
