Thank you for thinking of us to capture the magic of your day!

If you're all about genuine, joy-filled moments and unforgettable experiences, we're already in sync!

While we can't promise a spotless wedding dress by the end of the night (let's be real, it's part of the fun!), you can be sure the memories we'll capture will be worth every speck of celebration.

We're excited to meet you, to celebrate with you, and to chase that perfect light together.

Because with us, it's not just about photographs; it's about connecting, sharing stories, and creating something truly special together.

From the moment we met Michelle and Hemi we knew we were in amazing hands...

They were so warming and enthusiastic and we immediately felt at ease. It is so evident that Patina just love what they do in the quality of their work.

They slipped into the background successfully to capture amazing candid moments of our day which is what we were after and also made us feel totally comfortable taking our more formal photos which can at times feel awkward.

While they aren’t cheap, consider them as an investment rather than a cost because the photos and video are a tangible takeaway from the wedding. We would recommend Patina a thousand times and then again!

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you do Wedding Videos?

    We have teamed up with Josiah Nevell Films to bring you one of the greatest collabs of all time!

    Book a wedding film and photography team that you trust to work well together, and give yourself one less thing to worry about for your beautiful day. Learn more about our collab.

    01

  • Do you travel?

    Yes, all over the North and South Islands of New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia. Please get in touch for other locations.

    02

  • How many photos do we get?

    We typically deliver between 600–800 images from a full-day wedding, each one graded and edited in our unique style.

    03

  • How long until we see our photos?

    We deliver a preview within two weeks of the wedding, and complete set within 10 weeks.

    04

  • Do you use photoshop?

    We individually correct white balance and exposure for each image before applying a colour grade in our unique style. Photoshop work (adding/removing elements and similar levels of image manipulation) is not our standard practice —if this is something you think you might need, we can provide a quote; however it is generally not required for most people. Almost all the images shown on this site are examples of our standard level of editing.

    05

  • What gear do you shoot with?

    We shoot with Fujifilm mirrorless cameras and lenses.

    06

  • How do we pay you? What types of payments do you accept?

    You can pay via bank transfer or with a credit card. All our wedding collections have three payments; the first is due on booking; the second, 6 months before the wedding; and third, 1 month before the wedding.

    07

  • How do we book you?

    We like to meet all our couples before booking —after all, you definitely want a photographer that gets you! We then gather the booking details and set you up with your own client dashboard. From your dashboard, you can sign the contract and make the first payment to secure your date.
