I've heard about, visited and worked at some of the best Auckland wedding venues. So, I wanted to take the time and create some free resources for you to check out. So, even if you haven't chatted with me yet to be your wedding photographer, you could most certainly still be in planning your Auckland wedding.

Have a look, and as always, let me know if you have any questions about any of these Auckland wedding venues, or any questions about any other. No matter the distance, I want to be your wedding photographer.
