The Magic of Wellington Wedding Photography
As a professional wedding photographer in Wellington, I have discovered that there’s something magical about capturing a love story in pictures. Weddings are brimming with heartfelt emotions, spectacular moments and cherished memories. As a Wellington wedding photographer, my goal is to frame these indelible impressions in timeless, enchanting photographs that you can treasure for a lifetime.
Tailoring Your Love Story in Pictures
I believe that every couple holds a distinct love story, unique to their journey and relationship. It’s this story that I strive to capture in my pictures, tailoring every image to narrate a special chapter of your romantic journey. From the vibrant energy of the celebrations to the quiet, intimate moments between the couple, each picture is a reflection of your personal narrative.
Capture Every Fleeting Moment
If there’s one thing I have learned in my years of shooting weddings, it’s that every moment is fleeting. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments, the laughter, the tears of joy, the unexpected moments – I aim to capture them all with artistic precision, creating a vivid tableau of memories that tell the story of your special day.
From Smiles to Tears: Embodying Raw Emotion
The beauty of a wedding is in its raw, unfiltered emotion. Whether it’s the joy in your smiles, the love in your eyes, or the happy tears that roll down your cheeks, my camera captures these emotions in their most profound and genuine form. This authenticity is what makes your wedding photos come alive, evoking the emotions and memories even years later.
Exclusive Photography Techniques
The Sophisticated Dual-Camera System
To ensure that every moment of your wedding is captured in vibrant detail, I employ a sophisticated dual-camera system. This system allows me to capture multiple angles and perspectives, resulting in a richer and more comprehensive array of images.
Securing Additional Coverage & Videography
For those who want to elevate their wedding coverage, I offer the option of additional videography. This service provides a more dynamic and engaging record of your wedding day, capturing the excitement and emotion in a format that you can relive again and again.
How a Second Shooter Enhances the Coverage
Adding a second shooter to your wedding photography package can significantly enhance the breadth and depth of your coverage. A second shooter provides alternate angles, covers simultaneous events, and allows us to capture moments that might otherwise be missed.
The Pre-Wedding Shoot
Building Connection Before The Big Day
A pre-wedding shoot is not just about great pictures, but also about building a connection. It’s a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, understand the process, and create a rapport that helps the wedding day shoot flow more seamlessly.
Using Pre-Wedding Pictures for Engagement Announcements
The photographs from your pre-wedding shoot can be used for a variety of purposes, including engagement announcements and save-the-date cards. It’s a beautiful and personal way to announce your upcoming nuptials to loved ones.
Preparation for Being in Front of the Camera
It is completely natural to feel a little anxious about being in front of the camera. That is why the pre-wedding shoot is a great opportunity to practice and prepare, leading to a more relaxed and confident you on the actual wedding day.
Flexible Wedding Packages

My wedding photography packages start with six hours of coverage, designed to capture all the essential moments. Whether it’s the first look, the vows, or the first dance, you can trust my lens to capture these irreplaceable moments exquisitely.
