West Auckland Wedding Venues


Since moving to New Zealand from the UK in 2018, I have been blown away by the natural beauty of this country and its people. After settling in Kumeu and then Hobsonville, I discovered that I was in the heart of wedding venue central. Just a short distance from my home, I have access to some of the most stunning locations for wedding photography, including Markovina Vineyard Estate, Allely Estate, Settlers Country Manor and The Hunting Lodge. I am so grateful to be able to capture the beauty of these places and the love of the couples who choose to celebrate their special day there. I can't wait to work with you and help make your wedding day even more amazing!

West Auckland Photo Locations


Muriwai Beach 🌅


West Auckland is home to some truly breathtaking locations for couples' engagement shoots and wedding photo shoots. One of the most popular and iconic spots is Muriwai Beach, where the golden light of sunset creates a truly magical atmosphere. In my opinion, this is the perfect time of day to capture the beauty and romance of the moment. Whether you are looking for sweeping landscapes or intimate, candid shots, Muriwai Beach is the perfect setting for your special photos

Riverhead Forest 🌲


Another one of my favorite spots in West Auckland is Riverhead Forest. This 5-hectare oasis of kauri trees is located on the border of the west Auckland vineyards, making it a great location for couples who want to escape the hustle and bustle for some truly unique and beautiful photos. Riverhead Forest offers a serene and peaceful setting for your engagement shoot or wedding photos, and is the perfect place to indulge in a little 'shinrin-yoku' (forest bathing) and reconnect with nature. Whether you are looking for intimate, candid shots or sweeping landscapes, Riverhead Forest has something for everyone. I can't wait to help you capture the magic of this special place and the love you share.
