You're engaged!

That's the best news ever! Congratulations on taking this big step towards spending your lives together! I LOVE photographing engaged couples, it's one of my favourite sessions

Documenting this moment is so worthwhile because it's only for a short part of your life that you have a fiancé. It is a special moment in your life that deserves to be captured and remembered.

Scroll down to see what how my engagement sessions work, what you get and for how much.

Why Book an Engagement Photoshoot?

I ALWAYS recommend a photoshoot for couples before they get married? Why? Here are several reasons why I think engagement photoshoots are valuable:

  • You probably have never had professional photography before? And you might be nervous or anxious about being in front of the camera so much, or unsure how to pose, etc. Having an engagement shoot gives you a practise run for your big day so that when it comes to getting married, you feel more relaxed about how the photography will work
  • You get some awesome photos to use for your 'Save the dates' and invitations
  • Think of it as a trial run with your photographer, to see how we fit together before the big day come along.
  • Because getting engaged is worth celebrating, it's a life milestone that only lasts a short time and you SHOULD make memories of it!
  • Because any excuse to get photos for printing and hanging up on your wall is a good excuse

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where are you based?

I'm based in central Auckland, but I travel up to 200kms for engagement sessions. Sessions more than 50kms from Auckland Central do entail an additional charge

We aren't very good in front of the camera?

That's normal! And I don't want you to worry one bit. 90% of my couples feel some level of nervousness about having their photos professionally taken. I am experienced at making you feel at ease and comfortable. My photography sessions are fun, candid and informal. I have a lot of tips and tricks to get you both feeling yourselves and before you know it, you'll be embracing the experience. 

How do we book you?

It's super easy, you can hit the big 'Book Now' button above, choose your date and we will get the ball rolling, or get in touch by email or via my contact form and we can talk more and schedule you in.

Do you photograph proposals?

Heck Yes! I love proposals and I can absolutely photography yours! I can even help you out with the planning and preparation to make it perfect. Just send me an email, fill out my contact form or find my on my socials.

Can i print my photos?

Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photo prints and canvases through your online gallery.

How long will it take to receive our photos?

It will take you no longer than 2 weeks to receive your completed images. They will be ready for you on your own online gallery that you can share with those you choose

Do you have any locations you recommend?

A tonne! I have scouted Auckland for many spots and I have my favourites. Once you have booked, we can talk all about location options and come up with the perfect place to take your photos

What happens if it rains?

It sometimes does unfortunately and we have to find ways to work around it. I usually am keeping an eye on the weather closely in the lead up to your shoot and if it looks like it can't go ahead, I will get in touch to talk options. There are 2 options in this scenario, the first is we reschedule to a later date, or we create an alternative back up plan for a rainy day. I prefer option 2 as a rainy day gives us the option to think outside the box and be creative with our location. Not to mention that the overcast weather can create some stunning light and stormy skies that are great for photos. But whatever happens, you will get your photos taken, we just have to work around nature.

What if we like you so much we want more?

I will never say no to more photoshoots, and after we have met and spent an hour getting to know each other, couples, you may realise that you want to book ME to be your wedding photographer. Of course I would be delighted and can fill you in on where to go from there. I also photograph maternity, newborn and family photography sessions so there is always opportunities for more photos at a later date. 

How many photos will i receive?

Your gallery will include all the good photos that I take (excluding duplicates). I don't publish those with eyes closed, strange expressions or awkward poses. In total there may be up to 80 images, however you will be able to choose your 30 favourites to download as part of your collection. You can purchase additional images or the entire gallery for an additional $200.

We don't want our photos on social media

Not a problem. Your privacy and wishes are important to me and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.

What if I have to cancel or move booking?

Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. Included in your price is a $100 booking fee that is non- refundable. This helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your photoshoot date. I hope you understand that booking fee is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. I will happily refund the balance to you in the event that you need to cancel. If you cancel within less than 48 hours of your booking however, the total becomes non-refundable.
If you need to move your booking to another date, please give me plently of warning. I will transfer your booking to another date as long as you contact me more than 48 hours before the shoot.

Do you have a payment plan?

Yes, we can organise to split your payments into four installments. Just let me know if this would suit you. I do not release any images however until I have received payment in full

Kristie & Andrey

“helped us to feel more comfortable and show our more intimate side”

I highly recommend Suzannah: she was very professional but also VERY empathetic, very understanding of how weird people might feel in front of a lens and helped us a lot on what to do, how to relax and her kindness definitely helped us to feel more comfortable and ready to show our more intimate side. Also I liked a lot how she delivers the photos with different options you can choose for the size of photos. I'm very happy with her work

& kind words

Photographs have a way of transporting us back to specific moments, allowing us to relive the experiences associated with them. They have the power to rekindle forgotten sensations, ignite familiar scents, and awaken dormant feelings that were once intertwined with the captured scene.

I look forward to meeting you soon x
