Not just photos. A feeling you can *return to.*

Once you’ve decided to go ahead, I’ll send through an online booking link with a contract and invoice. A 50% deposit of your main package is required to secure your date. The balance is due four weeks before your wedding. Payment plans are also available – just ask.

It depends on the shape of your day and what matters most to you. If you’re having a small celebration or elopement, 2-3 hours might cover everything you need – ceremony, portraits, and some extra time to breathe. If you're after a fuller story – from getting ready to the dance floor – I recommend 9-12 hours.

Not sure what you need yet? Just tell me roughly what’s happening, and I’ll help you figure out the best option.

Relaxed, authentic and largely unobtrusive. I capture the real moments as they unfold, with gentle guidance where it helps, so the day feels like you rather than a series of stiff poses.

There’s no hard limit. I don’t hold back – if it’s good, it’s in. As a general guide, you’ll receive around 50-70 images per hour of coverage, carefully edited and delivered in a high-resolution online gallery.

I aim to deliver your full gallery usually within 8 weeks of your wedding, occasionally a little longer during peak season. I also send a small preview within 48 hours so you have something to share (or just stare at for hours – totally allowed).

You’ll receive a private, easy-to-use online gallery where you can download high-res and web-sized versions of every image. You can also order prints directly from there, or share the gallery with friends and family. It stays online for 12 months, but I always recommend downloading and backing everything up.

You’re not alone. Most of my couples say this. I work in a way that’s relaxed, calm, and real – no stiff poses or forced smiles. We’ll find the good light, I’ll give you gentle direction if you need it, and mostly just let you be yourselves. It’s not about performing – it’s about being present.

Yes. I’m based in Whangārei and travel often throughout Northland, Auckland, and across Aotearoa for weddings. Travel within the Whangārei area is included. For other locations, travel is calculated separately and added to your quote. I charge $1.17/km (return) + travel time. If flights or accommodation are needed, we’ll chat through what makes the most sense.

All final images are edited in my style – clean, true-to-life tones with depth and warmth. I’ll take care of minor fixes like temporary blemishes, but I don’t do heavy retouching or major alterations such as adding or removing people from images. If you need more specific edits, we can absolutely discuss that ahead of time – additional retouching can be arranged and added on if needed.

Yes, for larger weddings or when there’s a lot happening in multiple locations, I can bring a second photographer. This is something we can add to your package. My second shooters are trusted professionals who work seamlessly with me to make sure nothing gets missed.

I won’t disappear mid-vows or during speeches. I always build in a little buffer and am happy to be flexible within reason. If things run significantly over, extra time can be added at $375/hour, and I’ll always check in before that happens so you’re not surprised by anything.

Some of my favourite images have been taken in wild weather. I always come prepared – with umbrellas, backup plans, and the ability to pivot quickly. If you’re up for it, we can embrace the conditions. If not, we find cover and keep things simple. Weather won’t stop us from making great images.

Absolutely. You can order prints directly from your gallery or through me if you’d like help choosing the best sizes and paper types. Fine art albums are also available as an optional extra – beautifully made, lay-flat, and designed to last for generations. I’ll walk you through the process when you’re ready.

I don’t need a long Pinterest list – that’s what you hire me for. But if there are specific things you want photographed (e.g. heirlooms, people who matter most, or a particular moment), I’d love to know. I also work with a detailed family photo list to make sure we keep that part of the day organised and calm.

Yes – if you’re happy for me to share with them. I ask that any vendors using my images credit me as “Photography by Nimmy” or tag @bynimmy when posting online. For commercial use or publication, they will need separate licensing.

I use natural light whenever possible, but I’m equipped with off-camera lighting for when the sun goes down or if we’re in a darker venue. It’s all used in a way that still feels natural and unobtrusive.
