WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

DOCUMENTARY  STYLE

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

 As your wedding photographer, my aim is to create an experience filled with moments of laughter and emotion. For me, it is not only about just taking the photos, but creating an intentional story while being unobtrusive.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

Hey There, I'm Carmen your wedding and elopement photographer covering Christchurch, Central Otago, Marlborough and beyond. Wedding photography for couples who value natural, honest moments. 

Thanks for stopping by Laughter In The Rain Wedding Photography! My aim is to capture your forever images and create a simple, stress-free experience from enquiry to delivery. Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's breathtaking South Island, and I travel New Zealand wide and Australia.

Your wedding day will go by in a heartbeat and I’m there to capture every moment so you can relive it again and again.

Think you’re awkward in front of the camera? Hell, that’s literally everyone who tells us that. The truth is, you don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That’s our job. No awkward posing, no forced smiles, just genuine moments, laughter, and a whole lot of fun while we capture you being you.

I'm here to help 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 the real moments, the laughter, the emotion, and those beautiful little in-between moments that often end up being the most meaningful. No stiff poses or awkward photo moments here. Instead, I take a relaxed documentary approach with just enough guidance to help you fall into your natural rhythm together. I know the camera can feel a bit intimidating, so I focus on creating a fun, comfortable atmosphere where you can simply be yourselves.

STORIES

Your wedding day will fly by in a blur of laughter, happy tears, and moments you didn’t even realise were happening. My job is to catch those moments before they slip away. All the real, raw, beautiful bits that make your story yours. So if you want photos that feel honest, a photographer who’ll cheer you on all day, and an experience that’s relaxed, fun, and full of heart… I think we’re going to make some magic together.
