Wedding photos are priceless treasures. For future generations of family and friends, a few glossy snaps are all it takes to conjure the beauty and love of your wedding day.

That’s why it pays to find a wedding photographer who is experienced, talented and knows how to cater to your unique needs. To ensure that your wedding is captured in all its gorgeousness, why not book in with one of the following Christchurch wedding photographers? Each of these professional photographers has garnered an impressive reputation on the Christchurch wedding scene. They’d be thrilled to add your wedding to their repertoire.

 

Grey Area Productions

Grey Area Productions is a Christchurch wedding photographer with an eye for telling stories. Grey Area Productions' director-in-chief, Andrew, believes that photographing is so much more than simply pointing and shooting. Rather than just “making” a photograph, the photographer brings their own story and emotional state to whichever scene they capture. That’s why in every photograph by Grey Area Productions, you get a real sense of the photographer engaging with and rejoicing in the love story that’s unfolding before their eyes.

Andrew is your typical South-Island bloke, brought up in the mountains and a real romantic at heart. As Andrew’s portfolio attests, his work is all about making the most of the simple and the natural in life (and in photography). That said, if you’d prefer a more stylised and staged shoot, that’s entirely doable. In fact, one of Andrew’s objectives is to capture your wedding through your eyes. Grey Area Productions' photo and video pricing begin at $3900.
