Common Questions

Most couples in New Zealand book their wedding photography and videography 9–12 months in advance, especially for summer weddings. Popular dates can fill up quickly, so the earlier you book, the better. We recommend reaching out as soon as you’ve confirmed your date and venue to ensure availability and lock us in.

Our pricing is flexible and tailored to your needs. Most couples invest between $3,000–$8,000+ for full-day photography or videography. We also offer combined photo + video packages at a discounted rate. Once we know your vision and coverage hours, we’ll send over a custom quote with all options clearly outlined — no hidden costs.

All packages include high-resolution professionally edited images or cinematic video, pre-wedding planning consultation, and delivery via private online gallery or downloadable link. We also offer add-ons like albums, drone footage, second shooters, and full-length ceremony or speech edits. You can fully customise your package to suit your day.

We travel all over New Zealand and beyond! Travel within Auckland is included. For weddings outside Auckland, we may add reasonable travel or accommodation costs — but we’ll always discuss this up front. Whether it’s Queenstown, Taupō or a destination wedding, we’ve got you covered.

We typically deliver your photo gallery within 3-4 weeks and wedding film within 6–8 weeks. A sneak peek of a few photos is sent within a week after your wedding so you can relive the moment early. During peak season, turnaround may extend slightly, but we always keep you updated.

Yes, absolutely. We have a full in-house team offering both services. Booking photo and video together ensures a consistent style and smooth coordination throughout your day. Plus, bundled packages often come at a better value. Our team works in sync to capture everything without getting in each other’s way, it’s one of our specialties.

It really depends on the flow and structure of your wedding day — every celebration is different. For full-day coverage, most couples receive anywhere from 600 to 900+ edited images, but it could be more or less depending on your timeline, guest count, and how many events you have. For video, we typically deliver a highlight film (5–8 minutes) and can include longer edits of the ceremony or speeches if requested. The final output is always tailored to best represent the energy and emotion of your day.

We don’t deliver RAW image files or unedited video footage. Part of our creative process is the professional editing and curation of everything we capture — this ensures you receive a polished, high-quality final product that reflects our style and standards. The delivered photos and films include all the best moments, fully edited and ready to enjoy, share, and print.

We’ve never missed a wedding, but we always have a backup plan in place. Our team comes fully prepared with spare gear, and we have reliable professionals on standby if needed. In the rare case of an emergency, we’ll ensure a trusted member from our network steps in — so your day is fully covered without compromise.

Booking is simple: just let us know your date and we’ll confirm availability. To lock it in, we ask for a signed agreement and a booking deposit. Once that’s done, your day is officially reserved, and we’re all yours! We’ll schedule a pre-wedding call to plan everything in detail.

We will help you plan a smooth wedding photography timeline from start to finish. Typically, we begin with the getting-ready moments – capturing the bride and groom preparations a few hours before the ceremony. Next is the ceremony itself, followed by family portraits and a fun bridal party photo session (we’ll factor in travel time if we’re heading to multiple locations). As evening falls, we document all the reception highlights – entrances, speeches, cake cutting, first dance – and of course plenty of candid dancing shots. We work with you in advance to create a timeline that ensures nothing important is rushed or missed, while keeping the day enjoyable and stress-free.
