xox Waiheke | Wedding Planner & Photographer

Lauretta photographed our wedding in February just gone and was outstanding. From the minute she walked in the door and started talking to everyone I instantly felt at ease and as if I had known her for years! She was fantastic at directing us and suggesting poses and positions, but all super natural. The photos are incredible, so much better than i had ever imagined. So happy and would highly recommend Lauretta - she's amazing!

Lauretta helped us with all of the lead-up and day-of coordination/planning for our wedding on 7 October 2017, and ensured our wedding was amazing and stress free ! I had lots of ideas, but no clue how to execute them, and Lauretta offered great advice and invaluable support- it was just like discussing wedding plans with a close friend. I felt so comfortable knowing all the little details would be taken care of, by someone who really got us and our vision for the day! We were blessed to have Lauretta in our wedding tribe, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her

Lauretta planned and photographed our March 2018 wedding. She was nothing short of fabulous, the venue on the day looked exactly how we had imagined, only 1000x better. Her photographs have turned out absolutely incredible, and she made our entire bridal party (all of whom hate having their photograph taken) not only comfortable, but had us all laughing and enjoying ourselves. We are so thrilled to have had the chance to have Lauretta working with us on our special day and absolutely would recommend her styling, planning and photography to everyone.

Lauretta helped me phenomenally with my wedding in January 2018. It was at a venue that had never hosted one before and came with a whole lot of challenges, right down to Lauretta figuring out the most environmentally-friendly recycling removal plan! Lauretta has excellent contacts on the island and just knows how things work on Waiheke which was invaluable knowledge. She was such a calming and charismatic influence on the day - our friends and family loved her. It was so nice to be able to switch off and simply enjoy the moment, I'll never be able to thank Lauretta (and Cassie!) for this enough. Would recommend 110% (if you cant tell already!) thanks so much Lauretta!

We were really happy with the photos that Lauretta took of our wedding. We were set at ease from the first meeting we had with her, she really understood what we wanted. She was very easy going and happy to adapt depending on what suited us best. She has a great understanding of Mudbrick and where to take some amazing photos. Which meant we got some great pics quickly and were table to return to our guests. It was a very long day for her as we asked her to stay till after the first dance, despite this she maintained great energy throughout the night. She made the whole day even better!
