Hello!
I'm Claudia!
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 10 years!
What still gets me every time are the real, unfiltered moments, tears, belly laughs, quiet in-betweens. I’m based in Auckland but will happily follow love wherever it takes me, from Christchurch valleys to European coastlines.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me having a tea or coffee, road-tripping about New Zealand, or hanging out with family, friends and my dog, Arthur!
What People Are Saying
I haven't stopped thinking about our day, and how incredible the whole thing was, and how you went out of your way to make it amazing for us and capture all the photos we wanted. You really captured the feel, the vibe, us being weird and awkward, but also how much we love each other.
AND the details OMG! I still get sooo many compliments on all our photos, people constantly telling me how incredible our photographer was, and how talented she is.
— Grace and Nick
Seamless!
We obviously wanted someone who we felt comfortable with, as we are both not the most comfortable in front of a camera. Claudia was not only professional, she was culturally aware, helpful, flexible, and went above and beyond!
— Jessica and Ashutosh

FAQ
1. How do we book you for our wedding day?
To lock in your date, we require a 25% non-refundable date retainer and a signed contract. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding day.
2. Can we request specific shots or poses?
Of course! We’ll go over your shot list and timeline before the big day. However, while we do our best to capture everything you want, not every pose can be guaranteed.
3. What if it rains or plans change suddenly?
We’re experienced with adapting to changing weather and lighting. If plans shift, just keep us in the loop as soon as possible. We’ll work with you to adjust timelines where we can.
4. Do you offer video services?
Not at this stage! But if you are after a full length video, we work with many amazing videographers! If you are on the lookout for a fab videographer, we have you covered
5. Can we cancel or postpone our booking?
Postponements: Your retainer remains non-refundable but can be applied to a new date (depending on availability).
Cancellations: If more than 60 days in advance, you’ll get a refund minus the retainer. Within 60 days, full payment is required unless we can rebook the date.
6. When can I expect to see the edited images?
You’ll get a preview of around 20 images within 48hrs of your wedding, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Your full gallery of hand-edited images will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks. During the busy summer season, please allow up to 10 weeks for final delivery.
All images will be sent via a private online gallery with unlimited downloads, available for one year after delivery.
We always aim for quality over speed, your memories are worth the extra care.
