Photography that tells YOUR story.
In a world that is constantly changing, I think it is important to slow down and capture the moments that make life feel meaningful.
The big ones, of course, but also the little things happening around them. The way someone looks at you when you are not paying attention, your friends laughing too loudly, a quiet hug, the chaos on the dance floor.
I want your photos to feel like your day actually felt, so that years from now they bring you right back to it.
Hi, I’m Anneke!
I have travelled the world with my camera in my hands, capturing the expressions of love & life happening across this beautiful world of ours.
I split my time between New Zealand and Europe, where I grew up, but I am always happy to travel to wherever your love story is unfolding.
Photography is not just a job to me - it’s what I love doing most. If I’m not shooting a wedding, you’ll find me capturing couples, festivals, brands or boutique stays, organising styled shoots with other photographers, carrying my camera gear up a big mountain to get that magical landscape shot and overall just capturing every pretty detail I see.
So if you’re looking for an adventurous soul with a lens, someone who will get genuinely excited about your photos and probably end up doing a little happy dance when we get a good one
— you have found the right person!

“My absolute favorite photographer in Wanaka. I just adore our engagement photos. Not only are the photos the most special memories, but Anneke made both of us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend and we were so comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. What an amazing, beautiful person!”

Tell me a little about the two of you, what you’re planning and your date. I’ll get back to you with availability and all the details.

Let’s have a chat
For weddings and elopements, we’ll organise a video call so we can get to know each other, talk through your plans and figure out what coverage suits your day.

Make it official
If it all feels right, I’ll send through your proposal, contract and retainer invoice. Once those are sorted, your date is officially locked in.
MY WORK
Portfolio
It’s the images you're here for at the end of the day.
Here is a small collection of some of the people and stories I have had the joy of capturing over the years.
“I couldn't recommend Anneke more! She seamlessly captured our Wedding and made us feel so comfortable infront of the camera. She is so brilliant at her job during the day that we didn't even notice her taking photos and when we got the pictures back and saw all the stunning candid pictures we were amazed that she managed to be so subtle!
From the first contact right through to receiving the final photo gallery she has been the most amazing, lovely person to work with. She took our inspo pics and ran with it, even when it started pouring down during our portraits she saw a vision and we have the most beautiful pics in moody lighting. Her communication was fantastic and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Nothing was ever a problem and she went above and beyond to make sure our day was captured perfectly.
I would recommend Anneke to anyone!”

FAQS
-
My wedding photography packages start at $2,200 for 3 hours of coverage. From intimate elopements to full wedding days, there are different options depending on how much of your story you’d like captured. If you’re not quite sure how many hours you need, get in touch and I’m always happy to help you figure out what makes sense for your day.
-
Absolutely! I’m based in Wanaka and photograph weddings and elopements throughout Queenstown, Central Otago and further afield. If your plans take you somewhere else in New Zealand, or overseas, tell me where you’re heading and we can chat through the details.
-
HELL YEAH! Big weddings are wonderful, but I also love the intimacy and freedom of smaller celebrations. Whether it’s just the two of you somewhere in the mountains, a handful of your favourite people beside the lake, or a relaxed little wedding at home, I’m there to capture it in a way that still feels like a full story.
-
Of course. Most people tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera, so you’re definitely not alone. I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it, but I’m not going to spend your whole wedding day posing you. The goal is for you to be present with each other while I capture everything unfolding around you. The laughs, the nerves, the chaos and all the little glimmers in between.
-
Yes! We’ll work through your timeline together before the wedding so there’s enough space for the photographs you care about without making the whole day feel like one giant photoshoot. I can also help you think through things like portrait timing, light, locations and how much coverage will suit your plans.
-
We roll with it! Wanaka and Queenstown weather can have a mind of its own, and some of my favourite photographs have happened in rain, wind and moody mountain weather. We can adjust timings or locations if we need to, but I’m always looking for ways to make whatever the day gives us look beautiful rather than stressing about a perfect forecast. Keeping in mind to chat to your venue about rain backup plans!
-
You’ll receive a sneak peek from your wedding within one week so you have something beautiful to relive straight away. Your full edited gallery will be delivered within 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the time of year.
