auckland wedding photographer

Based in Auckland, I specialise in wedding photography and proposal photography across New Zealand, capturing heartfelt, romantic moments for couples who want their love story documented in a natural and timeless way.

From intimate proposals to full wedding celebrations, I focus on creating imagery that feels emotional, editorial, and true to you. I travel across Auckland and throughout New Zealand to capture love stories in beautiful locations, always with a relaxed and storytelling approach that allows you to feel completely present in your moment.

Editorial & Storytelling Wedding Photography

Your wedding is the start of your forever, and it deserves to be remembered in a way that feels honest, emotional, and completely true to you.

As an Auckland wedding photographer, I capture weddings across Auckland and New Zealand with a storytelling and editorial approach that focuses on real moments rather than staged perfection. From the quiet in-between glances to the big emotional celebrations surrounded by your favourite people, I document your day as it naturally unfolds.

Your wedding day is filled with love, laughter, happy tears, and moments you may not even realise are happening. My role is to capture it all — the candids, the details, and the energy of the day — while also being there to support you, help things run smoothly, and make sure you actually get to enjoy it.

The result is timeless wedding photography that allows you to relive your day exactly as it felt.

Romantic Surprise Proposals Across New Zealand

As a proposal photographer and videographer based in Auckland, I specialise in capturing romantic surprise proposals across New Zealand in a natural, emotional, and timeless way.

Having been part of over 100 proposals, I focus on documenting real reactions and genuine emotion as they unfold — the moment they arrive, the nerves, the surprise, and the “yes” that changes everything.

Whether you’re planning a proposal in Auckland or anywhere in New Zealand, I’ll be there to discreetly capture both photography and video so you can relive the moment exactly as it happened.

The result is a collection of timeless images and cinematic video that tells your story in the most authentic way possible.

"We had an incredible morning couple photography session with Zanthe..."

We had an incredible morning couple photography session with Zanthe Photography and couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Zanthe was professional, accommodating, and incredibly talented. She made us feel relaxed and captured the most beautiful moments between us. The morning light added a magical touch to the photos, and Zara's creative eye truly shined through in every shot. We are so grateful for the stunning images that now beautifully preserve our memories. Highly recommend Zanthe Photography for anyone looking to capture their special moments!

"Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made..."

Zanthe is incredible! We booked Zanthe for our wedding at Man O'War, she was listed as one of the venues preferred photographers. We initially met on Zoom and were instantly put at ease. She made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. On the day she seamlessly integrated into the group and felt more like a guest than a hired professional. Everybody loved her. She absolutely nailed the brief - she captured the essence of the day perfectly. We are obsessed with our photos
