Joel and Bonita Photography

Yes! We’ve created a curated Wedding Guide for all our couples—packed with expert tips on how to get the best out of your wedding photos, as well as a thoughtfully selected list of our favourite, trusted vendors across Northland and Auckland. We only recommend professionals who consistently deliver exceptional experiences and align with our aesthetic and values.

Yes, we do offer videography as an add-on through trusted collaborators who share our documentary and editorial approach. While photography is our primary focus, we work closely with a small group of talented filmmakers to ensure a seamless visual experience that aligns with our signature style.

We’re with you every step of the way. Bonita is incredibly detail-oriented and supports our couples well beyond photography. From timeline guidance to custom questionnaires and curated planning resources, we’re here to make the lead-up as smooth and stress-free as possible. You\'ll also receive our comprehensive Wedding Planning Guide and Timeline Checklist in the mail once you book.

Our style of photography is a mixture between documentary and editorial —capturing both the grand moments and the quiet in-betweens with intentional artistry. We don’t limit your gallery to a set number of images. Every wedding is unique, but most couples receive between 500–1,000 hand-edited photographs that tell the full story of your day.

We recommend booking as soon as your venue is secured. Popular dates—especially during peak season—often book out 12 to 24 months in advance.

Yes, and they are stunning. Our heirloom albums are handcrafted with thick lay-flat pages and designed to feel as timeless and intentional as your day. These albums are more than just keepsakes—they are works of art that preserve your story for generations.
