Pre wedding packages

real New Zealand pre-weddings.

I love guiding couples for their pre-wedding photo sessions in the breathtaking South Island of New Zealand. With my extensive knowledge of the area, I can schedule shoots at the perfect location and time of day, ensuring that we capture the best possible shots. I take pride in my ability to bring you to locations that other photographers may not know about, and my goal is to create stunning photos that will tell the story of your visit to New Zealand.

I offer a range of popular packages that include transport from your nearby accommodation. Depending on your preferences, we can combine multiple packages to create a full-day or multi-day shoot. With my expertise and experience, you can trust that you will receive exceptional service and a photo collection that you will treasure for a lifetime.

I'm available via email at hello@andybrown.co.nz, as well as WhatsApp (+64 27 327 3334). Feel free to send me a message and let me know about your pre-wedding plans and how I might be able to make them come to life!

FAQs

  • All seasons have something special to offer here. Summer is warm with late sunsets, Winter brings a snowy landscape, Autumn brings calm weather and rich colours, and spring with green hills and often still snow about. October through to December are usually our most unsettled months with regular wind and rain.

  • If it looks we'll be battling heavy rain during our shoot, I like to keep the following day as a back up, or we can consider a different location. We would make the call the day before as the weather systems in New Zealand are very hard to predict until 24 hours out.

  • Yes! We can organise hair, make up, flowers and helicopter flights. If you're looking to hire a gown and suit, Nemo Workroom over in Queenstown can help you out.

  • Yes! You can combine packages as long as we have time to do them including travel time between locations. Alternatively, we can plan out locations over multiple days. Contact me to discuss.

  • The furthest distance is Queenstown to Tekapo or Mt Cook which is just over 3 hours of driving one way. Wanaka is 1 hour from Queenstown, and Mt Cook 1.25 hours to Tekapo.

  • Lupins are often about in December and early January depending on rainfall. They are getting harder to access now as many have been removed over the years.

  • For my Tekapo package, we can include a 30 minute session outside the church for an additional $100 fee. This can only be booked as long as no other weddings or services are occurring at that time. Sundays are closed for photography.

  • Yes! For additional coverage (allow approximately 1 hour extra) we can do a starry night session after dusk in the final location for the day. All locations have low light pollution, and obviously we need a clear night. We often call this on the day.

  • Every shoot varies, simply put you'll receive all of the good photos I take. For a 3 hour session I often deliver 200+ finished photos. The longer the session the more you'll receive.

Pricing in NZD and subject to change. Travel may be additional unless stated in the package. Once booked, pricing becomes fixed. Booking requires agreement to my standard photography contract, and a 33% date reservation fee payment, with the remaining balance due the week before your elopement date. In the case of your elopment being postponed due to COVID, your date reservation fee is non-refundable but is fully transferrable and will be applied to your new date.
