2023 WPE International Wedding Photography Awards | New Zealand Wedding Photographers — Dear White
Starting off 2023 strong! Jo and Dan have just won 2 silvers and a bronze at the annual WPE International Wedding Photography Awards, and what an exciting achievement! We are sooooo over the moon!
Our Photography Style: A Hybrid Approach
When people ask: "What kind of wedding photographers are you?" We'd say that we are a hybrid between documentary wedding photographers capturing all those beautiful, real, candid, photojournalistic wedding moments AND stunning portrait wedding photography that shows off your most beautiful self on your big day.
Throughout the day, we anticipate those real moments that tell the stories of the day. Whether it's laughter, tears, hugs or craziness... we're there to capture them all! Don't we all love some good dance floor shenanigans or bubble snorts moments to keep for a lifetime? ...But of course, we don't only do documentary photos. When the time is right, we make sure to get those sweet epic eye candies too.
And if you don't know where to put your hands or where to look, we've absolutely GOT you—you’ll walk away from your wedding couple shoot knowing how to look like you've walked right out of a magazine.
Award-Winning Captured Moments
Gotta love this amazing champagne bubble snort from Kelsey and Sam’s awesome Nga Manu Nature Reserve wedding in Kaipiti Coast!! Hammy’s awesome dance moves Jo sneakily shot through the legs of another dancer! Can’t get more real than this <3.
That being said, isn't Danielle looking 11/10 and absolutely on fire? The Judges obviously agreed cause it netted us another award woop woop!

Wedding Guides and Professional Recommendations
You may wonder where to find the perfect confetti for pictures at your wedding and what kinds work best. Confetti has a special place in our hearts, and the confetti throw will no doubt be one of your most cherished wedding day photographs. For the DIY brides (or grooms!) among us, there IS a way to make your own, super sustainable, eco-friendly, and biodegradable wedding confetti!
The importance of having a fantastic celebrant at your wedding cannot be overstated. They determine the mood for the rest of the day. You should look for someone who has previous expertise, is well organized, is a lot of fun, and can guide both of you through what can be a stressful time.
