A LOVE LIKE NO OTHER

Love is found in those little moments when we interact with our people and that is what I am after the real connection. If you're a little like me then I know it's important for you to tell you're story a little differently than how other people are doing it. That is how we tell your story. Every story is so different and unique and thats why it's so important to me to be a part of one of the biggest days of your lives. Let me capture the love between you đź–¤

So with all the laughter the tears, and some of the most soulful moments of your life, I am with you every step of the way. 

Loaded with caffeine, energy and a bagful of tricks will get us through from the start till the party is bouncing and pumping on the dance floor and YES this photographer will be on the dance floor with you!

ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

I’ll arrive bright and early to settle in quickly and say hi to everyone before I start shooting. I want to make sure that everyone (especially you) is 100% comfortable and pumped for the day ahead

01 /

Throughout your day, I’ll be weaving in and out to make sure I catch every precious moment, including moments that went unseen. That quick kiss at the dinner table or tucking that loose strand of hair behind your ear. All the moments that make your heart flutter.

02 /

I’ll be the chameleon you want me to be – whether you want me to be the ringmaster herding everyone up for a shot, or to sneak around in the background, capturing all the natural, candid moments. No cheesiness or cringy, forced poses here!

“Carmen was so lovely to deal with creating our session, she made us feel super comfy, posed us without posing us and made us feel AMAZING. Carmen is a natural and had us laughing, made it fun and got all the little details. We absolutely  love our photos. We can't wait for her to capture our wedding 2022"

What If It's Raining On Our Wedding Day?

What Is Your Style And Sets You Apart?

For me I like to capture each story creatively and this is where I mix a journalistic approach with romantic dreamy portraits. Mood, movement, environment and our connection truly reflect in the images we create together.

How Do You Receive Your Images?

I have made this as easy as possible for you and your images are via an online gallery with both High and Web resolution sizes. Through the online gallery, you will have the option to favourite, share and download. Perfect for sharing with friends and family! However If you are also after a USB one can still be purchased for a relatively small fee.

Can You Recommend Any Local Vendors?

Absolutely, we have so many talented creatives within the industry here in New Zealand. So depending on the location where you are getting married I can provide you with a list of these gorgeous people who love what they do. 

Prints & Albums - Can We Order through You?

How Much is The Booking Fee, Is It Refundable ?

I do require a $1000 booking fee to lock in your wedding day, this secures your date The booking fee is non- refundable as this secures the date so that no one else can book that date and we turn down any other inquiries for that date. The balance is payable 10 days prior to your wedding and can be paid online via internet banking or via Paypal. Once the booking fee is paid you will receive a contract and the booking fee comes off your balance. Booking/Retainer Fee for Elopements is $250

Do You Have A Second Shooter?

I love photographing weddings solo, however there are times that a second photographer is required to capture more details, candids and moments. The guys maybe on the other side of town getting ready, so this helps with time and we all love to see what the lads are up to!  A second shooter gives another perspective and this allows the ceremony to be captured from so many angles. Generally I have a second photographer right up to the reception.

Do You Have A Covid-19 Policy?

Travel Costs? 

Yes I sure do. COVID-19 POLICY as of 1st December 2020. 
Booked dates may not be altered, changed or postponed due to COVID-19. Any changes or postponements will incur another contract to be signed and another non-refundable booking fee to be paid. Please note this includes postponements due to travel restrictions. The only exception to this rule is if we are in a "lockdown" or restricted COVID level 3 or higher in which instant the date/booking fee may be transferable to one other date within 12 months.

Yes, I do have a travel charge - and charge out per km.

*Domestic Travel Flying, I can arrange for you - and we tag this on to your chosen package. Please ask for detailed price.

*Destination/Overseas, We can arrange for you and tag it on to your chosen package - Please ask for detailed price.

Can We Meet You?

Yes of course! This part is really important and we can either do this in person at a cafe or meet even for a wine. If meeting up in person doesn’t work we can chat via FaceTime/ Zoom whatever works for you. It's really important for both of us to meet and see if we are both a fit. For me connecting with my couples is really important as this translates through to your images.

Can We Get Our Wedding Photos Earlier?

Yes, absolutely you can! I know the feeling I hate waiting as well. We can arrange for a fast track order for an additional cost.
Please ask about this service.
