It’s more than just photos, it’s…

Photography for lovers

Photos for all love stories, big or small.

Wedding & Elopement Photography

Whether you're planning a barefoot elopement in the mountains or a full-day celebration surrounded by everyone you love — your wedding deserves to be captured in a way that feels true to you. Not just pretty pictures for a Pinterest board, but soulful, joy-filled moments you’ll actually want to relive.

As your wedding photographer, I’ll be your calm presence, your gentle guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I’m here to help you feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated from start to finish.

Destination Photography

Getting married outside of New Zealand? Heck yes — count me in! I absolutely love exploring new places and photographing love stories in the most incredible corners of the world. Whether it’s an Italian coastline, a German forest, or a dreamy European vineyard, I’m always ready to pack my bags and document the magic.

Here’s the best part: I hold a European passport, which means I’m legally able to work across Europe without the need for special permits — a big plus when planning a destination wedding abroad. You get beautiful photography and peace of mind, all in one.

Portrait Photography (Couples, Family & Brand)

Whether you're newly engaged, celebrating a milestone, or simply want beautiful photos just because — these sessions are designed to capture your connection, joy, and story.

From anniversary shoots and birthday celebrations to updated family portraits or personal brand content that reflects who you are — these are the moments worth remembering (and sharing).

Kind Words

  • “I love my branding photos captured by the very talented Aliena! She was a dream to work with from start to finish! She’s super accommodating, gave great cues to capture the moment! Right from the word go, she could see my vision for the photos and I love the final edits! Thank you so much Aliena.”
