Akaroa & Banks Peninsula Wedding Photographers

Kia ora, we’re Robin + Andie, wedding photographers and videographers based in Akaroa, New Zealand. We live on an olive grove on Banks Peninsula, surrounded by some of the South Island’s most beautiful coastal scenery. Being locally based means we know the light, the landscapes and the rhythm of Akaroa weddings inside and out.

Akaroa is a truly special wedding location. Its French-inspired village, sheltered harbour and rolling hills create a relaxed, intimate setting that couples love. From waterfront ceremonies at Okains Bay and hillside venues like Mt Vernon Lodge, Ridgecliff and the Hilltop to private elopements and destination weddings, Akaroa offers a sense of escape while still being easily accessible from Christchurch and Canterbury.

Our approach to Akaroa wedding photography and videography is natural, calm and documentary in style. We focus on capturing genuine moments as they unfold, with minimal direction and an emphasis on real connection. This style suits couples who want their wedding day to feel unhurried and their photos and film to feel honest and full of life.

We’re known for delivering Wedding Photos With Good Vibes®. For us, that means creating a relaxed experience on the day and capturing imagery that reflects the energy, emotion and atmosphere of your Akaroa wedding.

We work with natural light, unposed interactions and relaxed portraits, using Akaroa’s harbour, coastal landscapes and Banks Peninsula backdrops wherever possible. With two experienced photographers, we capture multiple perspectives and ensure every important detail and moment is documented with care.

If you’re planning an Akaroa wedding, elopement or engagement, we’d love to tell your story..
