a great backyard weddings


We love the beauty and magic of weddings. Such joy, such laughter, such giddy emotion.

We know that your celebration will bring together beloved friends, family and grandparents who may never be in the same place together again, so the value of your photographs will grow over time. We are dedicated to capturing all the emotion and wonderment for safe-keeping.

Our photography styles are a mix of documentary and fine art. We search for intricate details, candid moments between loved ones, superb light and anything that tells your story; kids pulling faces, behind-the-scenes action, a lingering kiss.

 


We offer four wedding packages to help you craft your perfect day.

  • Each includes a planning session beforehand

  • A sneak peek selection of images within 72 hours of your big day

  • Delivery of high-res and web photos on a USB within approximately 6 weeks

  • All our wedding clients receive 25% off printing services from our boutique studio

Travel

 
 

We're happy to travel to Auckland and the greater Waikato region. Weddings further afield will incur a travel cost, although we try to keep these to a minimum.

We’ve photographed delightful weddings as far south as Christchurch and Queenstown, and in boutique destinations such as Waiheke Island so if you like our style we’d love to hear from you.

We are also available for pre-wedding photography for couples from New Zealand and overseas, and are happy to discuss locations for incredible destination weddings.

Kind Words

 

‘Would 100% recommend.’

“Love these two. I had them as our wedding photographers and couldn't of ask for better. They were effortless and made my day magical. The highlight of lockdown was opening my emails and seeing the photos. They are all amazing and captured the best moments of our special day. It was made even more special as we know Corin and Brydie, so they made us laugh and made me relaxed knowing I was in good hands (they got my hubby to smile in the groom getting ready photos and they have to be some of my favs). Would 110% recommend xx”

— Lauren Atkins

‘Great to work with.’

We had the pleasure of Corin taking our wedding photos. He was great to work with. He was relaxed, professional and a great person to hangout with for the day. The photos were amazing and captured the relaxed nature of the day which is what we were after. His service was very professional and would recommend it.

— Sarah & Benjamin

‘Seriously superb duo.’

Seriously superb duo, such a calming presence and can ease you into the perfect photo, the ability to take full control and not be pushy, full of smiles and laughs.

— George & Te

‘I can’t recommend them highly enough.’

A superb photography team. The husband and wife team of Corin and Brydie are technically great and really engaging and good at putting people at their ease. We were incredibly luck to have them as our wedding photographers. They made the whole day much more fun, and the photos were incredible. I can't recommend them highly enough.”

— Kim & Jeremy

 
 

‘We will always be so grateful.’

The quality of Corin’s work was so impressive & I was so happy with all my photos. Most people that see our photos ask me for their contact details and I have recommended them time and time again.  

They are both very professional and took the time to really ‘hear’ our ideas. 

Corin has a beautiful relaxed energy about him and creates a sense of flow and ease. Brydie is exciting and dynamic and fun and puts everyone in a great mood.

We will always be so grateful to them for the quality of their work, their professionalism and for making our perfect day even more perfect.”

— Wayne & Jill

‘We are in love with our wedding photos.’

“Corin and Brydie are an awesome team that I would highly recommend. Not only did they do an amazing job with our wedding photos they made the whole process amazing and then on the day they were so light, encouraging, and professional. We are in love with our wedding photos and couldn’t recommend them more! They had us the bride and groom and the bridal party in giggles the whole day which really helped us to relax and get great photos. All I can say, is thank you, thank you, thank you!”

— Anna & David

‘Thrilled with their photos’

“Corin and Brydie joined us to record our wedding, their presence and demeanor added wonderfully to the day, putting us, camera shy folk, fully at ease, and we were thrilled with their photos to boot!.”

— Andrew Crosby
