Velvet Moon Photography

Hey you! I'm Lula, a Tasman Nelson wedding photographer/kaiwhakaakua who travels around Aotearoa New Zealand photographing magical people and their glorious weddings.

My aesthetic is all about the deep jewel tones, striking black and whites, and your connection with each other. Combining a documentary style with a slice of traditional, my aim is to preserve your day as it happens as unobstruively as I can - it's your wedding day!

I love photographing moments. It's the emotions, those secret in betweens, those almost-but-not-quite-falling tears that get me every time. Plus I'm all about Nana cuddles... It's the loving expressions on your guests' faces, the goosebumps I get when you have to stop and breathe while say your vows.

It's getting to know you two in an entirely unique way.

I just REALLY love weddings.

I have a particular ability in working with couples, nearlyweds and other rad humans who are neurodivergent or have special requirements, to create an environment where being photographed isn't a stress at all. I have lived, work & family experience of autism and/or ADHD.
