Waikato Wedding Photographer

Natural, candid, story-driven wedding photography

I’m genuinely excited to work with you and create an album of images that feels true to your day.

 

My approach is all about balance, capturing natural, candid moments as they unfold while also guiding you when needed to create relaxed, timeless photographs throughout one of the most precious days of your life.

 

From the quiet moments while you’re getting ready, to your vows, the in-between laughter, and the energy on the dancefloor. I’m there to document it all as it actually happens.

We don’t force moments or over-direct. I watch, anticipate, and step in only when needed, so you can stay present and enjoy your day and we can create natural images that you'll love.

 

I'm a Waikato based wedding photographer, capturing weddings across Hamilton, Cambridge, the greater Waikato, and throughout New Zealand for couples who value real, authentic photographs.

testimonials.

I couldn’t rate Chris any higher. From his chill demeanour, to the sneak peeks within 24 hours (mind blowing), to the full gallery within less than a week - unheard of and frankly, incredible.
Thank you Chris, your craft is something we will forever cherish.

"Thank you so much for the rest of the photos, they’re amazing!! We’re so glad we had you capture our wedding — we’re honestly blown away by the editing and the final result."
