Sunny Gajadhar Photography

Hiya, I’m Sunny. I’m an Auckland (and beyond) photographer who loves photographing people, the people they love, and the things that matter most to them.

My approach is relaxed and natural. I’ll give you a little direction when you need it and let things happen naturally when you don’t. I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy the experience and forget about the camera being there. I’m drawn to the real stuff. The quiet moments, the big laughs, the little details, the energy of a room and all the perfectly imperfect moments in between.

Visually, my work is clean, natural and considered. I love beautiful light, genuine connection and a little bit of creativity. Depending on the moment, that might mean something playful, nostalgic, elegant or a little more editorial.

I’m also a dad of two, which explains my love for photographing families. I know how quickly kids grow and how the everyday moments you barely notice at the time can become the ones you treasure most.

My mum passed away when I was very young, and having photographs of her has made me appreciate just how much a photograph can mean years down the track. It doesn’t have to be a perfect portrait. Sometimes it’s the ordinary photographs that become the most precious.

That’s something I try to bring to every session. Photographs that look beautiful, but also take you straight back to how it felt.

Im Auckland based and happy to travel beyond.

I love photographing people, the people they love, and the things that matter most to them or their business. This covers wedding, event, maternity, newborn, family, baby showers, 1 or 21st parties, brand, and corporate headshots.
