AUCKLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

WHAT’S THAT…YOU DON’T LIKE HAVING YOUR PHOTO TAKEN!

I hear this a lot - “I’m not comfortable in front of the camera,” and honestly, I get it. I feel the same way! But an engagement shoot is the perfect chance for us to get to know each other and practice being in front of the camera before your big day.

We’ll just walk and talk like mates, I’ll bring my camera, and you can even bring your dog. Before you know it, you’ll see it’s really not as daunting as you thought plus we’ll capture some beautiful images. Being nervous about photos on your wedding day is then something you can take off your list!

    Ruby & Georgie

  • Kirsten was an absolute dream to work with, she was so relaxed and friendly it did not feel awkward at all. We are so unbelievably happy with our beautiful photos.

Hi, I’m Kirsten

I’M SO EXCITED YOU’RE HERE!

Your wedding day is going to be one of the best days of your life, cliche I know but it’s true, I can vouch as I only got married recently-ish myself!

It’s my job to make you feel super comfortable in front of the camera, in fact, most of the time you won’t even know I’m there!

I’m going to get to know so much about you guys it seems only fitting that I share some things about myself!

LET’S GO GRAB A COFFEE…

Actually, I don’t like coffee, so I’ll be having a chai latte! But honestly, if you’re interested in working together? Fill out some info, and I’ll get in touch.

I can't wait to hear from you!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where are you based? Home is Auckland, but between December 2025 and May 2026 I’ll be splitting my time between Auckland and Queenstown. That means I’ll be available for weddings in both locations during the season.

How many hours do we need? Good question! That depends on your day! I offer three packages - 3, 6, or 9 hours - to suit different wedding styles and timelines. If you're not sure what you’ll need, we can chat through your plans and work it out. I can also customise coverage to fit your day perfectly - whether it’s something short and sweet or the full shebang.

Can we meet you in person? Yes, absolutely! I love meeting my couples before the big day. If you're local, we can catch up over coffee. If you're out of town, we can easily connect over Zoom - whatever works best for you.

Do you travel for weddings? Absolutely! While I’m usually based in Auckland, I’m happy to travel just about anywhere for the right wedding. For the 2025/26 season, I’ll also be part-based in Queenstown, so I’ll be available for South Island weddings too. Wherever you’re based, if you love my work and want me to capture your day, get in touch and we’ll see if we can work it out - Bali is always a favourite!

How many photos will we get? I usually take loads - maybe too many! You’ll receive all the good ones, carefully edited and ready to enjoy. The number listed in each package is just a minimum.

Do we need an engagement shoot? While not essential, engagement shoots are surprisingly valuable. They’re a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, especially if you’re feeling a little nervous about being photographed. They also help build trust with me before the big day, giving you a feel for how I work. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll walk away with beautiful photos from that time before you were married. My 6 and 9 hour packages both include a complimentary engagement shoot.

All sounds great — how do we book?
I work on a first-in, first-served basis. Once your contract is signed and the booking fee is paid, your date is officially locked in, and I’m all yours! First step → fill out this form.
