Capturing Love Stories: Couples Photography Sessions in Wellington

 Wellington isn’t just the cultural capital of New Zealand; it’s a place where love stories unfold against a backdrop of dramatic coastlines, lush gardens, and vibrant cityscapes. At A Wedding Story, we believe that love deserves to be documented at every stage—not just on the wedding day. Our couples photography sessions in Wellington are designed to do exactly that: capture the connection, laughter, and intimacy that make your relationship unique.

Why Choose a Couples Photography Session?

Whether you’re recently engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or simply want to document your journey together, a couples session allows you to press pause and reflect on your love. Unlike posed, traditional portraits, our approach is relaxed, candid, and entirely focused on you.

We photograph real moments—the way you look at each other, the way you laugh, the way you walk hand-in-hand through your favorite Wellington spots. These aren’t just photos; they’re memories.

The Wellington Advantage

Wellington offers a wide variety of stunning backdrops, from the waterfront and Mount Victoria lookout to hidden forest trails and windswept beaches. We tailor every session based on your preferences and personality—making it feel like a date, not a photoshoot.

Our couples photography sessions usually take place during golden hour when the lighting is soft and romantic. This natural light complements our storytelling style, giving your images that timeless and authentic feel.

What to Expect During the Session

Our couples sessions are fun, spontaneous, and intimate. We provide light direction to help you feel comfortable but never over-pose. The focus is on your connection, not the camera.

You can expect:

• 1-2 hours of guided photography

• Natural outdoor settings or meaningful indoor locations

• A relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere

• A gallery of high-resolution, professionally edited images

Add Videography or Elopement Coverage

Some couples love taking it a step further by turning their session into a story on film. Our wedding videographer in Wellington can create a romantic highlight video to accompany your photo gallery.

For those planning a small, meaningful celebration, we also offer elopement photography in Wellington. An intimate shoot by the sea or in a lush forest can double as both an elopement and a couples session.

Pricing & Booking Info

All our couples sessions come with transparent pricing and personalized options. You can explore our full offerings on our wedding photography pricing page to see how we can tailor a session just for you.
