Our Clients' Reviews of New Zealand Photographers
Freezing temperatures and a language barrier aside, our photographer stayed patient and put us at ease in front of the lens — we're not naturally photogenic types, but this session will stick with us, photos included.
Juliette
Photoshoot in Auckland · photographer Chad
This shoot is worth it because photographers can get right up to the blue domes, skipping the long lines everyone else fights through — and those lines are brutal, with plenty of frustrated people. Our photographer communicated well throughout.
Sophia
Photoshoot in Auckland · photographer Chad
Despite the freezing weather and a bit of a language barrier, our photographer was fantastic — patient, and really put us at ease in front of the camera even though we're not big fans of being photographed. No regrets booking this session; it'll stay in our memories, and the photos are beautiful.
