AI-Enhanced Editing

Advanced AI tools ensure every photo is beautifully colour-corrected and retouched, without sacrificing quality.

Documentary Style

Genuine, candid moments captured as they happen. Your wedding story told authentically, with guided portraits mixed in.

Your Day, Your Way

You want to be present on your wedding day, not worrying about whether the photographer is catching the right moments. As a Wellington wedding photographer with 15+ years of experience, I specialise in documentary-style photography that tells the real story of your day: the nervous laughter while getting ready, the tearful first look, the wild dancing at the reception.

My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. I blend into the background, anticipating moments before they happen, so you can enjoy every second. The result is a gallery that feels natural, joyful, and unmistakably yours.

72-Hour Gallery Delivery

Most New Zealand wedding photographers take 6 to 8 weeks to deliver your photos. I deliver your complete wedding gallery within 72 hours. By pairing my experienced eye with AI-enhanced editing tools, I colour-correct, retouch, and deliver hundreds of professionally edited images without compromising on quality.

Imagine sharing your wedding photos with family and friends before you have even finished your honeymoon. Couples regularly tell me it is the thing they are most grateful for.

I Know Wellington Venues

After photographing weddings across the Wellington region for 15+ years, I know the city's best venues inside and out. Whether you are planning a garden ceremony at the Wellington Botanic Gardens, a waterfront celebration at The Boatshed, a dramatic reception at Shed 6, or a modern affair at Te Papa, I know the light, the angles, and the hidden spots that make each venue special.

I have worked at nearly every wedding venue in the greater Wellington area, including Wairarapa wine country, Martinborough vineyards, the Kapiti Coast, and the Hutt Valley. That local knowledge means I can help you plan your photography timeline to make the most of your venue and the available light.

Rain or Shine

Wellington weather is famously unpredictable. After 15 years of photographing weddings here, I have seen it all: howling southerlies, surprise downpours, and glorious golden-hour light, sometimes in a single afternoon. Rather than seeing weather as a problem, I treat it as an opportunity.

Some of my most dramatic, atmospheric wedding photos were shot in the rain or wind. I always have backup plans, know where to find shelter with beautiful backdrops, and adapt quickly when conditions change. Your photos will be stunning regardless of what Wellington's weather throws at us.

Flexible Packages

My approach starts well before your wedding day. Every couple gets a pre-wedding consultation where we talk through your vision, timeline, and any must-have shots. I strongly recommend the optional pre-wedding shoot, a relaxed session at a Wellington location of your choice where we get comfortable together.

I offer flexible packages for everything from intimate elopements and registry ceremonies to grand full-day celebrations. Whether you need eight hours of coverage or fourteen-plus hours from bridal prep through to the last dance, there is a package that fits. With Afterpay available, you can spread the cost into four interest-free instalments.

What Our Clients Say

Absolutely phenomenal! Andy and Ryan captured our wedding day more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, blending into the day so naturally while capturing every special moment with heart and creativity. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and artistic eye truly shine through in every photo and video.

Maritza Potgieter

Wellington

Andy was an excellent communicator from the initial contact right to the delivery of our photos. We were thrilled with the photos he captured of our special day. He nailed it! The formal shots were great and the candid ones fabulous also. The way Andy interacted with the family and friends was lovely and he went the extra mile to capture photos that hadn't been planned. His flexibility and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.
