Real Love - Rad People
Wanaka Elopement & Wedding Photographer
Hello,
I’m Ray
A Wanaka local wedding and elopement photographer with a love for the outdoors and real moments.
My approach is relaxed, natural, and story-driven - capturing your day as it actually felt, not forcing it into stiff poses or awkward moments. I keep things easy, stay out of the way when it matters, and step in with guidance when needed so you never feel lost in front of the camera.
Having called Central Otago home for the last 10 years, I know this place inside out and love sharing it with couples - whether that’s a big wedding, a quiet elopement, or an adventure into the mountains. My goal is simple: to create honest, timeless images that feel like you.
