Wedding Photography
You’re probably spending a lot of time thinking about flowers, timelines, seating charts and whether or not to invite that one cousin. But once the day’s over, your photos are what you’ll come back to most. Not just for what everything looked like, but for how it all felt. Which is why finding a photographer that feels like the right fit is a pretty big deal.
I'm Emma, a local of Waiheke Island since I was 6 months old, and hopefully, your wedding photographer! Ive been shooting weddings since 2022 and have genuinely loved every moment of it. There's not many people that get to say they love every single part of their jobs, so I count myself lucky that I'm one of them.
Wedding photography collections start from $1,300.
Every wedding is different, which is why I don't believe in forcing everyone into the same package. Whether you're planning a short and sweet celebration or want me there for the whole day, we'll work out the coverage that actually makes sense for you.
Starting from $1,300 for two hours of coverage.
Tell me a little about your plans, your date and what you're looking for, and I'll put together the best option for you.
INCLUSIONS
Whether I'm with you for two hours or ten, you get the same full experience. The only thing that changes is how much of your day we get to document.
All packages regardless of length include your full gallery of edited photos (around 100-150 per hour of shooting).
A private online gallery with lifetime access for you to share with family and friends.
Timeline assistance and help with any questions you have in the lead up to your day any time you need it.

WHAT ITS LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
Most couples tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera. That’s completely normal.
My approach is relaxed and mostly documentary. I’ll quietly capture the real moments as they unfold, and when it’s time for family photos or a few portraits, I’ll gently guide you without making it a big production.
You get to enjoy your day. I’ll take care of remembering it.
I bring a very relaxed, calm energy to your day. I'll never push you to spend endless hours on portraits, or constantly drag you away from your loved ones to get 'the shot', you've spent a lot of time (and money) planning this once in a lifetime day, you should get to enjoy all of it.
As I've mentioned (more like humbly bragged about though let's be honest), I am from Waiheke Island, I consider myself a true local, having been here for 30 years! Waiheke isn't just somewhere I work, or a nice place to visit from time to time, it's my home.
Waiheke is such a special place to get married, and there’s something really meaningful about photographing weddings in the place that shaped me.
While Waiheke and Auckland are my home base, I’m always happy to travel for love stories anywhere in New Zealand or beyond.
“I cannot recommend Emma enough , her and her partner are absolutely beautiful human beings , she did our engagement shoot, our wedding and maternity shoot and she is about to do our family shoot. It was our first time doing professional shoots and she made us feel so comfortable that we were able to enjoy the experience so much . The photos she was able to catch was absolutely beautiful just trusting in her to do her thing was the best decision we made , because we have memories to last a life time . I will only ever work with her whenever we need some photos done.
Thank you Emma you are super special and we grateful to have you as our photographer.”

DIFFERENT WEDDINGS NEED DIFFERENT COVERAGE
Some weddings are short and beautifully simple.
Some stretch from slow morning coffees through to a packed dance floor.
There isn’t a “better” option. Just what fits your plans.
Shorter coverage works perfectly for elopements, registry weddings, or intimate celebrations.
Longer coverage gives space for the in-between moments, the build up, and the party energy once everyone relaxes.
If you’re unsure what you need, tell me about your plans and I’ll help you figure it out, no pressuring you into extra hours that you don't need or upselling you on extra add ons - thats not how I roll. I want what's best for you.
“Emma was our amazing wedding photographer, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough! She captured the most beautiful moments throughout our wedding day, ones we’ll cherish forever. I can’t stop looking at our photos. Every single one brings me right back to how special that day felt 😭
She made us feel so comfortable and we laughed throughout the whole session. I look so happy and so loved in every photo, she truly captured the real us, our love for each other, and the joy shared with our friends and family.
Emma, thank you for being such a big part of our day. I’ll definitely be booking you again for our future maternity pics haha!”

A LITTLE REASSURANCE
We’re awkward in photos. Is that a problem?
Not at all. I keep things relaxed and natural. You won’t be stuck posing for hours, and my past couples have always said I make them feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Do you travel?
Yes. Waiheke and Auckland are my base, but I’m happy to travel. Travel fees are kept as low as possible, and if you're getting married somewhere that I am dying to shoot a wedding at, lets just say I have a cheeky little deal with your name on it!
How many photos do we receive?
You’ll receive a full gallery that reflects your day. I don’t cap it at a strict number. Generally you can expect around 100 photos per hour of coverage, however I’m known to be a bit of an overachiever and send way more than that.
Can we customise coverage?
Absolutely. Every wedding is different.
What happens if you’re sick or can’t make it?
It's never happened in 6 years, but if something unexpected happened I have a network of trusted professional photographers who could step in, and I would still handle the editing and delivery of your gallery.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
I know you’ll be excited to see them! Wedding galleries are delivered within 8 weeks, but I usually send a small preview within a few days so you have something to share and enjoy straight away.
When should we book?
Many couples book 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular summer dates. If you have a date in mind it’s always best to get in touch early.
“Emma was more than just a photographer, she became a friend. She was amazing, our daughters loved her and both myself and my husband (who is camera shy) felt incredibly comfortable and confident.
She is well priced, and quality of photos are excellent and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!”

PAYMENT PLANS
Pay for your photography your way
Normally, wedding photography is booked with a 30% non-refundable booking payment, with the remaining balance due before your wedding.
If you'd prefer to spread the cost out, you can choose a payment plan instead.
Your 30% non-refundable booking payment still applies, but rather than waiting until just before your wedding to pay the remaining balance, you can spread your payments out into manageable weekly or fortnightly payments throughout your engagement.
HOW IT WORKS
Standard payment option
Pay your 30% non-refundable booking payment to secure your date, then pay the remaining balance by the day before your wedding.
Payment plan option
Pay your 30% non-refundable booking payment to secure your date, then split the remaining balance into regular weekly or fortnightly payments, for whatever duration works for you, as long as your balance is paid before your wedding date.
NO BIG LUMP SUM TO WORRY ABOUT
Payment plans are simply a way to make your photography investment easier to manage. Instead of having one large final payment sitting on your wedding budget, you can chip away at it throughout your engagement.
Whether you prefer to pay it off gradually or stick with the standard payment schedule, you can choose what works best for you.
"The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do."
