Pre Wedding &Wedding films
Auckland wedding photography and videography
The films are created in the same visual style as my wedding photography, to capture those intimate, joyous, quiet and emotional moments. Those moments that go beyond the big gestures. Emotion-filled videos that show the real relationship between our couples. With a contemporary flair for cinematic editing. You will receive few minutes of a gorgeously crafted film you can treasure and share. Finding the right music that will evoke to mood and feelings, is super important to me. When put together the film and the music creates an emotional experience. Creating a unique, very personal video memory. Take a look at some of my films here. There are various wedding videographer PACKAGES I offer that will suit your budget. My team and I then edit these videos to music, creating a film you can watch again and again, and share with your family and friends. We work hard to create videos that will stand the test of time and you will be drawn back to down the years.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES

It's essential to communicate with your photographer and discuss your vision and preferences for your wedding photos. Let me know your expectations, what style you prefer, and what moments are significant to you. It's also crucial to plan your wedding day timeline carefully to ensure that there is enough time for photography. Work with me, your wedding photographer, to determine the best time for portraits and group photos, taking into consideration the lighting and location of your wedding. Consider having a first look session, where you and your partner see each other for the first time before the ceremony. This is a beautiful and intimate moment that can be captured by your photographer. Getting candid photos on your wedding day is all about capturing natural, spontaneous moments that reflect your personality and style. One of the tips: have a pre-wedding photoshoot: This will give you an opportunity to get to know your photographer and for them to understand your personalities and style. You will feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day.
Let’s work together to capture YOUR DAY full of
a connection, emotions and fun!
NATURAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE MOST TRUTHFUL AND SIMPLY GORGEOUS Because it shows real emotions and when you look at the photos, you can be taken back, reliving and feeling the moment. I love nothing more than being at beautiful, unique weddings capturing beautiful love stories. My photography is influenced by the minimalist style that focuses on creating simple uncluttered moments. Working with couples to create, not staged or posed photos that capture the truth of their moment. Capturing all of the feelings, laughter, the tears, the weather, the personal connection, and the quiet moments in between.
