Ilex Wedding Photographers

Kia ora, we’re Robin + Andie, wedding photographers and videographers who love capturing weddings and elopements at Ilex in Christchurch Botanical Gardens. Located within one of the city’s most established green spaces, Ilex offers a relaxed garden setting surrounded by mature trees, seasonal planting and open lawns.

Ilex Café is a wedding venue located inside Christchurch Botanical Gardens, providing a calm, nature-led environment in the heart of the city. The gardens allow ceremonies, celebrations and portraits to flow naturally, with pathways and quiet corners that create a sense of space and privacy throughout the day.

Our approach to Ilex wedding photography and videography is natural, documentary-led and unobtrusive. We focus on capturing genuine moments as they unfold, allowing the day to move at its own pace. This style works beautifully within Christchurch Botanical Gardens, where light, landscape and atmosphere shape the story.

We’re known for delivering Wedding Photos With Good Vibes®, creating a calm and supportive experience while documenting the emotion, connection and rhythm of your wedding day.

We work with natural light, unposed interactions and relaxed portraits, making the most of Christchurch Botanical Gardens’ greenery, textures and soft light. With two experienced photographers, we capture multiple perspectives and ensure every important moment is documented with care.

If you’re planning a wedding or elopement at Ilex, we’d love to tell your story and capture your day in a way that feels honest, relaxed and true to you.
