I seek connection, the relationships, the laughs, the fun, the love, the real you. I’m a photographer based in Christchurch but available everywhere.

These sessions aren’t about perfectly posed photographs. They’re about slowing down, spending time together, and creating images that feel honest, effortless, and unmistakably you.

Because one day, this chapter will be part of your story too.

Your session is about more than creating images for the wall.

It’s about remembering the way you looked at each other.
The laughter you shared.
The quiet moments in between.

We’ll choose a location that feels meaningful to you, whether that’s somewhere you love to explore together, your favourite beach, the hills at sunset, or simply a place that feels like you.

I’ll gently guide you when you need it, but mostly I’ll encourage you to relax, have fun, and simply enjoy being together.

The best photographs happen when you forget you’re even in front of the camera.

 

Every relationship changes and grows over time.

These photographs become a way of looking back—not just at what you looked like, but at who you were together in this moment.

Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or no special occasion at all, there’s never a wrong reason to document your story.

Because the ordinary moments often become the ones we treasure most.

Frequently Asked Questions

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Absolutely. Most couples tell me this before their session! My approach is relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance along the way. Rather than focusing on posing, I’ll give you simple prompts that help you connect with each other, so your photographs feel genuine instead of forced.

Anywhere that feels like you. Whether it’s your favourite beach, the Port Hills, a quiet forest, somewhere meaningful to your relationship, or even your own home, we’ll choose a location that complements your story. If you’re unsure, I have plenty of favourite locations and would love to help you find the perfect spot.

Of course! If your furry friend is part of your story, I’d love to include them. Just let me know when booking so we can choose a suitable location and plan the session around them.

Choose outfits that feel comfortable and reflect your style. Neutral tones and soft textures photograph beautifully, but the most important thing is that you feel confident and like yourselves. Once you’re booked in, I’ll send you a styling guide with plenty of tips to make choosing outfits easy if you want a bit more help

Yes! If you’re planning to pop the question, I’d love to help you create something unforgettable. Get in touch and we can discreetly plan all the details together so the moment remains a surprise.

Reach out via email and we can start talking dates! From there, to confirm your session, a $150 booking fee and contract is required to confirm your booking.  Availability is limited, so to ensure availability I do recommend booking in advance where possible.

No question is ever a silly question! Please reach out via the contact form on the contact page, or send me an email at info@rebeccaclaridge.com and I’ll happily answer more questions.
