Providing lasting memories of your special day, your wedding photography is not something to leave to chance. Some of the best photographers are booked out a year in advance, so get your photography organized early on in the planning process! I am a big advocate for not skimping on your photography budget and doing your research. Your wedding day only lasts for one day but that one perfect picture can instantly take you back to the happiest day of your life, and that one perfect album can become your favorite coffee table book. Here at J&J I have complied together my top 10 favorite photographers around New Zealand.
Of course our favorite (and if you have been following this blog for a while), you will know the lovely Kate McPherson photographed my wedding. I was very lucky to book her as we were one of the last weddings she photographed. She is now currently taking a little break from shooting weddings but you can check her amazing photos out at www.katemacpherson.com
Emily Roper from Clipic Photography - Emily was Kate McPherson's assistant photographer at our wedding so I know first hand how lovely and talented she is. She also photographed my beautiful Sister and Brother in laws wedding, how stunning did they look? See more of her work at www.clipic.co.nz
Candy Capco Photography - I've had the pleasure of meeting Candy numerous of times and I always look forward to seeing her and her bubbly personality. I absolutely adore her work! She uses natural lighting to create soft colors and golden light. www.candycapco.co.nz
