capturing your love
Photographing a couple’s big day of love is a great responsibility. I remember how much of a difference a good photographer made on my own wedding day. I chose one who was an old friend, with the skills and vision that I could trust and for your wedding day I aspire to make you feel like I am that old friend.
I will make you feel beautiful, relaxed and empowered in front of my lens as you take your first steps into a new chapter of life. Wedding days can be so packed with action, it is easy to forget to take in all the beautiful touches and details. I will make sure I capture them for you to keep forever. The prep, the hugs, the pep talks, the tears, the surprises, the toasts, the party moves. All the little moments of magic.
wedding packages
I am based in New Zealand from spring to autumn and then hop on the plane for the European summer to reconnect with family and friends so I am available for Europe based weddings too. I am happy to travel anywhere within NZ, Europe as well as other destinations so wherever your dream wedding may be, I can be there too.
I offer 3 different packages, starting at $2400. However, I understand that no wedding is the same and so there is always room for change and any package can be customised. I also offer engagement and elopement packages. Get in touch to receive a detailed information pack.
the process
is simple. We meet, in person or online and discuss your vision. If we click, we make it official with a contract and deposit and we can start planning. Organising a wedding is a journey of its own and I am happy to exchange ideas with you throughout the process. On your wedding day, while I snap away, you focus on having the best day of your life. And once your images are delivered, you can travel back to those feelings over and over again.

“Petra has such a calming, warm and lighthearted presence to her that made our shoot feel so natural. She gave us great guidance and made the whole thing fun, yet captured the most stunning photos that we'll truly cherish forever. The hardest part is choosing which ones to frame!”
