After all, the most unforgettable moments often come from the unexpected!
Choose the Venue that's Perfect for You
The venue sets the stage for your wedding day. Whether it's a picturesque garden, a rustic barn, or a breathtaking beach, select a venue that speaks to your vision.
As photographers, we love working in diverse locations and capturing the unique ambiance of each venue. We have photographed at most venues around Auckland and the Waikato, so if you need recommendations or assistance in finding the perfect location, we're here to help.
Our experience has taken us to some amazing places, and we can't wait to explore new ones with you!
Curate Your Wedding Dream Team
Surround yourself with a dream team of vendors who understand your style and preferences. From florists to caterers, choose professionals who align with your vision.
We have a network of trusted wedding vendors we can recommend, ensuring a seamless collaboration and a cohesive look and feel for your wedding day.
When everyone is working together harmoniously, the result will be a truly magical experience!
Capture all those Little Details
While planning your wedding, don't forget the little details that make the day uniquely yours.
Whether it's a personalized vow, a cherished family heirloom, or a meaningful decoration, these details deserve to be captured. We have a keen eye for detail and will look for precious moments and intricate elements.
Your wedding album will be a beautiful collage of memories, both big and small.
Enjoy Every Moment
Your wedding day will be a whirlwind of emotions, joy, and love. It's essential to take a moment to soak it all in.
We believe in creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that allows you to fully enjoy each moment. We'll be there to document the laughter, the tears of happiness, and everything in between.
Our goal is to capture the genuine emotions and create a visual narrative of your love story.
Preserve Your Memories
For most, a wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and preserving the memories is of utmost importance.
We understand the significance of these moments. That's why we carefully curate and edit all of your photos ourselves, ensuring a timeless and natural feel.
We want you to be able to relive those cherished memories for years to come. You'll receive an online password-protected gallery where you can easily access and download your high-resolution images without watermarks.
Share Your Beautiful Love Story
Your wedding day is not only about you but also about sharing your love story with family and friends.
That's why we believe in giving you a sneak peek of some highlights on our social channels. These stunning glimpses will allow you to relive the joy and excitement and share the magic of your day with your loved ones.
We promise to deliver all your photos within 6 weeks, but in reality, the wait time is usually around 3 to 4 weeks on average, so before you know it you’ll be able to look back at your celebrations with excitement and pride!
