About Wildfolk Wedding Photography
For couples who value story over staging
Story over staging. Connection, not contrived. True moments, heartfelt.
Meet your wedding photographer
Hey, I’m Lauren, the creative director and lead photographer behind Wildfolk. I’ve photographed more than 200 weddings in New Zealand and around the world. I’m proud to offer Wildfolk, an inclusive wedding photography studio, celebrating love in all its forms.
Wildfolk documents refined, emotive celebrations for couples who value connection, family, and the kind of photography that feels honest and alive. My style is authentic, playful, imbued with nostalgia and romance.
My wedding photography services include digital images, film photography and Super 8 motion-picture film.
I believe that love deserves to be remembered the way it felt — a little imperfect, deeply human, beautifully real. I created Wildfolk for couples who want to stay present in the moment, with the assurance that this moment in your story is being quietly captured, honestly and candidly. You’ll be guided only where it serves you.
Off the mountain or when not editing, you’ll usually find me on the road, playing sport, scouring antique stores for film cameras, and sharing life with my partner, Caitlin.
Lauren did an absolutely stunning job at capturing our day. We will be reminiscing over these photos in the years to come.”
Meet your Super 8 videographer
I'm Caitlin — Lauren's partner. When you book Super 8, I get the call up to come and document your special day. While Lauren is creating timeless photographs, I'm focused on capturing the movement between the moments, the first cheers as you’re getting ready in the morning, the looks as you take your first steps down the aisle, your friends dancing like nobody's watching, and all the little pieces that make your wedding feel alive years from now.
Movement has defined my life in so many ways, so naturally, my creative outlet has found its way to shooting video. I love Super 8 because it feels beautifully imperfect. It's nostalgic, textured and full of unfiltered movement, preserving not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
When we're not documenting weddings, you'll usually find us exploring New Zealand’s trails, hiking, chasing coastlines in Australia, or dreaming up our next adventure together. We believe the best stories are lived in the present moment and that's exactly how we approach every wedding we have the privilege of documenting.
Our hope is simple: that years from now, you don't just look back and remember your wedding, you get to feel it all over again.
