HAWKE'S BAY EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER | Capturing Story & Authentic Moments
Thoughtfully crafted event photography that reveals the emotion, energy, and human connection behind every occasion.
Capture the Soul of Your Event with a Hawke's Bay Events Photographer Who Sees Beyond the Surface. Conferences, Gala Dinners, Social Events, Photo Booths & School Balls in Hawke's Bay
As a Hawke's Bay events photographer, I bring a portrait artist's eye to every celebration, function, and gathering. It's not just about documenting the timeline. It's about capturing the heart of the moment: the laughter, connection, pride, and joy that define your event. From corporate galas and launches to intimate gatherings, I focus on real interactions that give your story depth and humanity. My background is in award-winning portrait photography, and that's what I bring to every event: technical skill paired with a genuine read on people, so fleeting moments become lasting impressions. Whether it's a corporate conference, a gala dinner, or a school ball here in Hawke's Bay, every event gets the same portrait-led approach and the same care.
Quarter Day
Up to 2 Hours - $895+GST
Perfect for launches, short functions, awards presentations, speeches, or a tightly scheduled corporate event.
You don't need me there all day to walk away with images that do your event justice. This package covers the key moments; arrivals, the main proceedings, and the highlights. Captured with the same portrait led eye I bring to every job. Ideal if your event has a clear focal point and a compact timeline.

Half Day
Up to 4 Hours - $1,295+GST
Perfect for conferences, gala dinners, product launches, milestone celebrations, or events with a few key stages, welcome drinks through to speeches or entertainment.
This is my most popular event package, and for good reason. A half day gives enough time to properly settle into the room to catch the candid connection before the formalities, the emotion during the main event, and the energy once things loosen up. It's coverage that tells a fuller story, not just a highlight reel.

Full Day
Up to 8 Hours - $2,495
Perfect for multi-stage events, conferences with breakout sessions, festivals, large functions, or anything running from morning setup through to evening celebration.
For events that unfold over many hours and many moods, full-day coverage means nothing gets missed, from the early preparation and formal moments through to the laughter and connection once the night finds its feet. With a full day on site, I can move with your event as it evolves, delivering a complete and cohesive visual story you can use across marketing, media and memories for years to come.

Photo Booth
P.O.A
A great addition to any event, a dedicated space where guests can step away from the main action and have their moment in front of the camera. Whether it's individual portraits, couples, or the whole squad piling in for a group shot, a photo booth gives guests something fun to do and gives you a set of genuinely great images to walk away with, not just casual phone snaps.
I bring professional backdrops and lighting and set up a corner of your event as its own mini studio, running alongside the main coverage or as a standalone feature. It's a proven crowd-pleaser. People queue up for it, and it adds a layer of energy and interaction to any function.

Quality School Balls
$10 per guest
Your ball only happens once. The dress, the hair, the nerves, the group photos with friends before you head in the doors, the moments on the dance floor. This is the night your students will look back on for years, and it deserves to be properly captured, not left to phone cameras in a dark hall.
I bring professional lighting and backdrops to set up a photo booth right at your event, so every student gets the chance for a proper portrait with their friends solo, in pairs, or the whole group. It's an easy way to add real value to the evening without adding real complexity to the planning.
-
Professional backdrops and studio lighting on-site
-
Individual, couple, and group portraits for every student
-
Optional candid coverage of the night as it happens
-
Professionally edited, high-resolution images
-
Online gallery. Easy for students and family to view, download and share.
-
From $10 per guest. An easy line item to build straight into the ticket price, so every student gets a photo/s included and there's nothing extra to organise on or after the night
