Timeless Wedding Photography in Tauranga & the Bay of Plenty
I've always found myself behind the camera and in 2007 my cousin asked me to photograph her wedding. Everything about it felt right and I decided to pursue a career in photography. Each wedding is different and I am very flexible with my time and how each day runs. I meet up with the bride and groom before their big day to help with the timeline and get a feel for how you want the day to look.

Essential moments
Perfect for couples wanting beautiful coverage of the key moments surrounding their wedding ceremony.
Your photography begins 1 hour before the ceremony, capturing the excitement and anticipation as you prepare to say “I do.” I’ll document the important details, candid moments, bridal party, family, and those final moments before the ceremony begins.
After the ceremony, we continue through the celebrations, capturing natural moments, family photographs, bride and groom portraits, and the entry to your reception.
A beautiful option for couples who want the essential moments of their wedding day captured naturally and timelessly.

Signature Collection
More time means more of the story, more genuine moments, and more memories captured.
With 1½ hours before the ceremony, there’s more time to capture the little details and emotions that make your wedding uniquely yours. From getting ready and final preparations of family, friends, bridal party portraits, and those special moments before you walk down the aisle.
Your photography continues into the reception for 1 hour, allowing us to capture the joy, laughter, and some celebrations, as your wedding day unfolds.
A wonderful choice for couples who want a little more breathing room and a fuller story of their wedding day.
$2200
The Heirloom Collection
The ultimate coverage for couples who want their wedding story captured from the anticipation through to the celebrations.
With 2 hours before the ceremony, there's plenty of time to tell the complete story of your wedding day. We can capture getting ready, beautiful details, meaningful interactions with loved ones, bridal party photographs, individual portraits, and all those emotional moments leading up to the ceremony.
With extended coverage into the reception, we’ll capture the atmosphere and excitement of your celebration, including speeches, laughter, candid moments, first dances, and the moments you may not even realise happened.
The Complete Package is ideal for couples who don't want to miss a thing and want a beautiful collection of images that tells the story of their entire wedding celebration.

“Best photographer ever! We honestly couldn’t recommend Nicole enough!
She has such a natural way of capturing all the special moments without you even realising she’s there. Nothing felt forced or awkward.We were able to just enjoy our day while she worked her magic in the background.
Nicole was so warm, professional and easy to have around, and we’re incredibly grateful to her for capturing such beautiful memories of one of the most special days of our lives. We’ll treasure these photos forever.” 💕

Every wedding is unique, which is why I offer flexible photography packages designed to work around your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full day of family, friends and festivities, we can tailor the coverage to suit your plans. My goal is to capture the moments that matter most to you, while allowing you to relax and enjoy every part of your wedding day.
How It Works:
1. My Inquiry Process
Once you inquire, I’ll ask the right questions to understand your vision, priorities, and what actually matters to you.
That means no cookie cutter approach! Just a plan that fits your day and your energy.
2. You’re Booked - Now What?
You’ll get a clear roadmap, tailored recommendations, and honest answers. After your deposit is paid, you’ll never guess what is next or wonder if something has been missed.
3. Your Big Day!
I’ll show up with calm confidence. I know when to step in, when to blend in, and how to read the room so you don’t have to manage a thing.
4. Your Photos Are Ready
Sit down and enjoy your photos that don’t just document the day but reflect the energy and love in a way that feels like home.
