Wedding Photography for adventurous souls.

Documenting your love story on

Digital, 35mm Film & Video

Wedding photography by Kirsten Ogden. Honest, emotive wedding photography for the wildly in love. Based in Queenstown, New Zealand, photographing worldwide.

Photos of the wild, wonderful journey you are on together.

Hi, I’m Kirsten. I’m a wedding and elopement photographer drawn to the quiet in-betweens, the hand squeezes, the deep breaths before “I do,” the laughter that bursts without warning. My approach is simple - I want to tell your story honestly, beautifully, and with heart.

I’m not here to manufacture moments. I’m here to witness them.

Whether we’re running barefoot through golden fields or tucked under a rain-soaked umbrella, I’ll be there, camera in hand, quietly documenting the raw and the real. The wind in your hair, the nervous glances, the way your fingers find each other without thinking. This is the good stuff. This is what I live for. I am based between Christchurch and Wanaka and I travel all over the South Island and beyond.

I build relationships with my couples, to allow me to capture your most special moments in a natural, non-intrusive way.

Based in Queenstown, I specialise in couples shoots, fun engagement shoots, weddings and elopements in the South Island. I also travel extensively around New Zealand and Australia for photoshoots and I am available globally.

Contact

I’ll be there to photograph all that plus the moments you didn’t know happened.

I will capture who you are as a couple, all the feels and the little things that matter. I will craft a photography experience where you and your partner can relax into being photographed and feel at ease right from day one.

Smaller weddings are becoming the norm for many couples. If you are planning a more intimate celebration, I can work with you to scout some amazing ceremony and photo locations. I keep my travel costs low so I am able to join you on any epic adventure to any destination you can dream of! Contact me for a travel and elopement quote.

Travel

I am lucky enough to travel frequently between Australia and New Zealand. For the summer season I live in New Zealand but for winter I can usually be found in Australia. My husband is a warm blooded Queensland boy who thinks wearing jandals (or thongs as he would say) is over dressed. After living in Australia for 8 years I am also partial to a Kirra beach winter. I pop back and forth regularly though so I am available in either country at any point of the year :)

We absolutely loved our wedding photos! Kirsten is an excellent photographer and such a nice person. Besides offering a 5-star service on the day of our wedding, she helped us find a nice location for post-ceremony photos and had many helpful suggestions. Thank you for being part of our special day!

“Such a great experience! Kirsten was a dream to work with, she understood the vision of our wedding and arranged the photography to suit. She was invisible during the ceremony, then organised and engaging during the shoot, so that we were able to relax and enjoy the experience. The photos we received were stunning, better than we could have hoped. The editing was flawless (not that my lovely wife needs any editing) and they came back very quickly. 10/10 would recommend.
