Welcome to Wedding Photography Auckland.

It may seem like an odd name for a website but , if you are anything like me, it will be how you did a Google search for the term wedding photography Auckland and ended up here.

I have created Wedding Photography Auckland to give engaged couples some great tips on how to find a professional wedding photographer.

I have also included some tips for those who may prefer to take their own wedding photographs.

Wedding photography is a specialised field and you would be best to choose a professional photographer who you know has been in the wedding photography industry for a long time.  Ask around your family and friends to see if they have had any experience with  great wedding photography Auckland can offer.

Amateur wedding photographers need not be ruled out altogether though as they are often younger and have fresh ideas on how to take more arty type shots .  Experience is not the only factor to consider but if you do go with an amateur wedding photographer you must be very careful to see examples of their photographs beforehand and be very comfortable with their work.  They would love the chance to get experience and you may well end up with pictures which are fabulous.

When it comes to wedding photography Auckland has many great people to choose from.

One thing to keep in mind is that it is a good idea to choose your wedding photographer quite early on in your planning.  Remember that these people are in the business and can give you great advice on many aspects of wedding planning.

It is important that your photographer has access to different venues to take pictures in so that whether it is a beautiful sunny day, or if you are unlucky and strike a rainy day, your professional has it covered.

Auckland is a beautiful city as it has lots of parks and beaches which make fantastic places to take outdoor wedding photographs.

However, don’t despair – if the wedding photographs do have to be taken indoors professional wedding photographers have all the necessary wedding lighting and equipment to make sure you still get fantastic shots.  In fact many couples prefer the studio shots so they are not squinting into the bright sunlight.  Be guided by your photographer, even if you have a pre-conceived idea on what you want in your wedding photos.  They have the experience to know what will give the best shots.

The greatest skill a wedding photographer has is to put people at ease – particularly the bride and groom.  The photographer will be able to go about their work in such a way that you feel relaxed and this will show in the wedding photos.  All brides look happy and glowing on their wedding day but it is instilling that special something into the photo which sets a good wedding photographer apart from a great one.
