Kathryn Louise Weddings - Capturing Love Stories Across New Zealand

Based in Christchurch, but always ready to hit the road and travel across the stunning South Island and Beyon to capture your unique love story.

I specialise in those candid, romantic moments that make your wedding day truly yours. The real smiles, the joyful tears, the quiet glances — those unscripted memories that make the day unforgettable.

I know every couple and every wedding is beautifully unique, so I offer a range of packages to suit what you need. Whether it’s full-day coverage, a few hours, an engagement shoot, or something custom, I’m all about creating a flexible, personalised experience that reflects your vision and who you are as a couple.

Weddings are full of emotion — the excitement, the nerves, the overwhelming love — and my job is to capture it all as naturally and authentically as possible. My style is a blend of candid storytelling and romantic portraiture, which means your gallery will be filled with genuine moments that feel like you. These are the images that bring you right back to how it felt: the warmth in your chest, the squeeze of a hand, the laugh you didn’t know got caught on camera.

When you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting beautiful photos — you're getting a relaxed, supportive presence who’s there to help you feel at ease and to make sure the little in-between moments don’t go unnoticed. The magic will be captured as it really was.

If that sounds like the kind of experience you're looking for, I’d love to chat more. Let’s start planning how we’ll capture your day in all its beautiful, honest glory.

Hourly Coverage – Perfect for Elopements & Intimate Celebrations

Not every wedding fits the traditional mould—and that’s the beauty of it. My hourly coverage is ideal for smaller celebrations, registry weddings, or private vow exchanges where simplicity is everything. With a minimum two-hour booking, you’ll still receive the same care, creativity, and candid storytelling—just in a way that fits your day perfectly.

Every love story is different.

Tell me about yours and we’ll figure out the perfect way to capture it.

Asha and Andrew

We had a great experience with Kathryn at our Nov 2024 wedding. She's very easy going, a problem solver and half the time we didn't even notice her during very intimate moments. At the same time, we really wanted candid photos of our friends and family and wanted direction as we aren't necessarily the best at posing. Kathryn bought all that and more and the results show in our photos. We love her editing style, she managed to capture some airy bright images during the day, and some beautiful almost, blue light photos during our overcast sunset shoot. 100% one of the best choices we made for our wedding was using Kathryn as a vendor.

Jacinda and Tom

These are stunning and we are so grateful that you could capture our day.

From your slideshow to full gallery you captured our day perfectly. And I love that you can just see everyone having fun.

You were so helpful on the day and had great ideas for photos when I had put hardly any thought into it. So thank you for that too.
