Ngahuia Riri - Photographer Wainuiomata

I was born in the small East coast town of Opotiki, New Zealand, and began to take photographs at a tender age of 10 with the help of my grandfather.

I like my images to be fresh and simple, but at the same time I want them to evoke emotion and beauty, to be able to capture that tear when it escapes, and the happiness on your family and friends faces on your special day, these will be some of the memories we will capture on your behalf. 

As part of who I am, I like to talk to our clients and really get to know them, but more so, to let you be comfortable with me, I am a funny and outgoing person who will keep you at ease and bring out your character when in front of the camera.

To be able to quietly step in and share someone else’s precious moments, to record their special event so they can remember it visually for years to come, is what makes wedding photography so exciting for me.

To be your eyes when there is so much going on around you that you miss much of what is happening. To capture those unrehearsed moments, the light as if falls across the bride's face, the tears of happiness and joy on a parent’s face, the innocent look in a baby’s eye, memories to last a lifetime.

I understand how important it is to you to have these moments in time documented in a way that will allow you to relive them over and over in the years to come.
