well hello there

I’m Bryony, a wedding photographer based in Mount Maunganui with an idealistic view of the world and a love for genuine connection. I’ve always been drawn to new places and experiences, and after spending a fair bit of time exploring both around New Zealand and overseas, I’ve found that travel has shaped the way I see and capture things.
Outside of photography, I love being at the beach, getting stuck into a good book, and heading out for a hike. I also have a strong interest in architecture and design, which led me to specialise in residential photography. You can check out some of that work here.
What I’ve come to realise over the years is that wedding photography isn’t about perfect poses or ticking off a shot list. It’s about people and moments and all the little things that make your day yours. My approach is relaxed and thoughtful, so I can capture your day in a way that feels real and true to you — just like a friend would.
kind words
Bryony is the perfect balance of subtle and strong. Ensuring that photos of every moment are taken without knowledge, and then efficiently and promptly organising guests for group photos. It is a rare find to have a photographer who can juggle both these qualities cohesively.
Bryony has a clear plan in her head, and ensures your photos reflect who you really are as a couple. Forced faces and poses are not her thing, her style allows you to look back on honest and real moments. Bryony allows you to have input, and works with you to capture what you want, but also helps guide you to what that looks like.
She emulates passion for what she does, and takes a lot of pride in every shot.
Ensuring the sun is in the right position or the wind or shade – Bryony manages to capture beautiful moments all the while you and your beloved ones are relaxed and enjoying the ride!
I would highly recommend Bryony to anyone seeking simply an exceptional, honest and passionate photographer.

We asked for natural, relaxed photos and Bryony exceeded our expectations. She captured the day so well for us and has given our family a treasured portfolio of the wedding. Bryony certainly has the ability to put people at ease and managed to capture some great photos of our guests. We recommend her services to anyone requiring a wedding photographer. We have received many compliments on the photos and also Bryony’s lovely manner with guests at the wedding.
