Photographers across New Zealand
Every photographer works at the same fixed prices — from $280 for 30 minutes and 20 edited photos. Pick by style, not by price. Sunset slots and weekend dates fill up first.
Freezing temperatures and a language barrier aside, our photographer stayed patient and put us at ease in front of the lens — we're not naturally photogenic types, but this session will stick with us, photos included.
This shoot is worth it because photographers can get right up to the blue domes, skipping the long lines everyone else fights through — and those lines are brutal, with plenty of frustrated people. Our photographer communicated well throughout.

Photoshoot in Auckland · photographer Chad
This shoot is worth it because photographers can get right up to the blue domes, skipping the long lines everyone else fights through — and those lines are brutal, with plenty of frustrated people. Our photographer communicated well throughout.
Sophia
Photoshoot in Auckland · photographer Chad
Despite the freezing weather and a bit of a language barrier, our photographer was fantastic — patient, and really put us at ease in front of the camera even though we're not big fans of being photographed. No regrets booking this session; it'll stay in our memories, and the photos are beautiful.
Laetitia
Photoshoot in Auckland · photographer Lydia
This shoot is worth it because the photographers can get right up close to the blue domes, so you skip the long lines everyone else is stuck fighting through — and there are a lot of frustrated people in those lines. Our photographer communicated well throughout.
