Hi I'm Celia, professional photographer based in Wanaka, Central Otago, Queenstown and Kapiti, Wellington. Yes, I also 'have camera and travel'.

I'm all about PEOPLE and creating beautiful, unposed fun images for you and your favourite people.

I love telling the story of your unique connection and love. Creating images that take you right back to all the feels, love, laughter and special people of your big day.

And if (like many) you hate having your photo taken? I hear ya! I help you melt into the moment to look naturally gorgeous and relaxed.

Your photos outlast all the other parts of your special day so it's worth spending time to get exactly the photography you want.

Lovely things people say

Leah & Tymon

Aw Celia - they are such a beautiful collection of photos - you have done a really lovely and impressive job of capturing so many wonderful moments in a really beautiful day!

Thank you so very much for all your time and effort! And a lovely photo of the 3 of us at the end too.

What wonderful memories! xx
