Weddings — Elopements

A day about love, celebration and above all YOU.

Wedding Photography Wanaka

Most weddings fly by in a whirlwind of emotion and your photographs are what serve as the link between the memories and the moment.

Whether you choose to celebrate your day with all the bells whistles and a guest list that includes everyone who has been part of your unique love story.

Or you choose a more intimate celebration with just the two of you and perhaps your closest compadres upon a mountain or with the waves gently lapping your feet.

— your photos need to capture the big moments and all the small glimmers in between!

Looking for a wedding photographer who will do just that?

Packages start at $1800 for 3 hours.

A little bit about me and my work:

Why work with me?

  • I genuinely care about every person I have the privilege to capture and connect with.

  • As an extrovert, I thrive on human connections and real emotions.

  • My warm and emotional nature means I'll likely shed a tear when you speak your vows or when your parents give a speech.

  • I have a creative and non-traditional approach to photography, creating unique and artistic images.

What is my photography style?

  • I focus on crafting each image as a piece of art, paying attention to small details and subtle nuances.

  • I aim to make you comfortable in front of the camera, even if you initially feel awkward. I provide gentle guidance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable photography experience.

  • Instead of directing every detail, I prefer to observe and capture candid, genuine moments.

Why do I do this work?

  • Photography allows me to capture and preserve precious memories, effectively slowing down time.

  • I am drawn to the emotional aspect of photography, especially the love that people share.

  • My personal experience with a loved one who suffered from dementia emphasized the power of photographs to rekindle forgotten memories and emotions.

“We did an engagement shoot with Anneke and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She made us feel very relaxed and at ease, and our photos came out absolutely stunning and very natural. Great practice in front of the camera before the wedding day. She was able to capture our personalities as well as the beautiful scenery. Thank you so much Anneke, we love our photos!”

FAQS

  • Due to the different needs of each client and varied briefs, I encourage you to get in touch and have a chat about what you need and I will send you my investment guide. An elopement with just the two of you is a different beast to a 2-day celebration with all your family! I’d rather give you a more accurate quote than a ballpark.

  • HELL YEAH! Travel is in my blood and if you have an idea of a magical location for your shoot get in touch we can discuss my availability and prices.
