WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

DOCUMENTARY  STYLE

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

My heart has always had an obsession in the pursuit of capturing life's many precious and unique stories - stories that can be told through photographs whilst I indulge in the joys of love and celebration found in weddings. As your personal wedding mentor, My aim is to create an experience filled with moments of laughter, emotion and dancing that will fill you with emotion and be captured in time. For me, it is not only about taking the photos, but creating a story within them that show the true personality, beauty and love that you have been gifted to share. Let me help create your dream wedding story.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

Hey There, I'm Carmen - your wedding and elopement photographer covering Christchurch, Central Otago, Marlborough and beyond. 

Hey a big welcome from Laughter in the Rain Wedding Photography, where I am fuelled by the passion to capture the essence of your special day. My aim is to create timeless and authentic images that resonate with your unique love story, and will stay with you for a lifetime. Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's breathtaking South Island, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service to each of my clients. Your wedding day is a precious moment in time, and I strive to ensure that every detail is captured beautifully.

At Laughter in the Rain Wedding Photography, I believe that your wedding photography should be as individual as you are. I offer a range of packages that are tailored to suit your specific needs and preferences. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a massive celebration, I am committed to providing a personalised approach that is flexible and customisable.

 My mission and commitment to you is to ensure and to guide you through the process and provide support and advice whenever you need it. From selecting the perfect locations for your photos to assisting with other vendors, I am always happy to help.

My style is all about capturing candid moments, natural emotions, and beautiful in-betweens. I won't make you pose awkwardly – in fact I believe that a blend of unobtrusive, documentary, and romantic photography, with a little guidance to help you both fall into your natural love language, makes for the most amazing results. Don't worry, I know the camera can be intimidating, and I make sure to create an atmosphere that's relaxed and comfortable for you both. Plus, I make sure to include plenty of helpful tips and tricks in my client guides to ensure you're making all the right decisions.
