Frequently Asked Questions – Kiwi Moments Media

1. What services do you offer for weddings?

Kiwi Moments Media is a full-service production team specializing in both wedding photography and videography. Based in Christchurch, we serve couples across the South Island and all of New Zealand—including Auckland and Wellington—with zero travel fees. Our goal is to capture the unscripted, magic moments of your day with a creative, cinematic flair.

2. Do you travel outside of Christchurch?

Absolutely! While we love working locally in places like Akaroa, Lincoln, and Ashburton, we regularly document weddings all over NZ. Whether you are planning an elopement in Queenstown or a grand celebration in Auckland, our team travels to your destination at no extra cost to you.

3. What is included in your photography and video packages?

We offer comprehensive packages designed to give you full-day coverage without the stress.

• Photography: Includes a personal consultation, professionally edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery.

• Videography: Includes cinematic filming, a professionally edited highlight film (and/or full-length feature), and digital delivery.

• The Extras: To make your experience even better, we include complimentary digital invitation designs, custom digital albums, and even a few surprise gifts! Check our services

4. Can we book both photography and videography together?

Yes! In fact, most of our couples choose a combined package. Booking our team for both services ensures a unified artistic vision and seamless coordination on your wedding day. You won't have to worry about a separate photographer and videographer getting in each other's way.

5. How far in advance should we book?

To ensure we are available for your date, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance. New Zealand's wedding season fills up fast! However, if you are planning a last-minute elopement or a weekday wedding, get in touch to check our current availability.

6. Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?

We love engagement sessions! They are the perfect "warm-up" to help you feel natural in front of the camera before the big day. We offer these sessions throughout Christchurch and the surrounding areas. It’s a great way for us to get to know your story and your style.

7. When will we receive our photos and videos?

We know you’re excited to see them! You’ll receive a "sneak peek" within just a few days of your wedding. Your full, high-resolution photo gallery will be ready in 4–6 weeks, and your cinematic wedding film will follow within 6–8 weeks.

8. Are your packages customizable?

Every wedding is unique, so our packages are flexible. Whether you need extra hours for a traditional multicultural ceremony or a shorter package or hourly service for an intimate elopement, we are happy to create a custom quote that fits your specific needs and budget.

9. How would you describe your style?

Our style is candid, romantic, and cinematic. We focus on genuine emotions rather than stiff, awkward poses. We want your wedding film and photos to feel like a timeless story that brings back all the feelings of the day every time you look at them.

10. Are you LGBTQ+ friendly and experienced with multicultural weddings?

Yes, 100%. At Kiwi Moments Media, we celebrate love in all its forms. We are a proudly rainbow-friendly team with extensive experience in same-sex weddings and diverse multicultural traditions. Everyone is welcome here.

11. How do we book you for our date?

The first step is to visit our Contact Page. Fill out the form with your wedding date and location, and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours to chat about your vision and secure your booking.

12. Why choose Kiwi Moments Media as our Christchurch photographer?

With over 20 years of experience, Reza and the team bring a mix of technical expertise and a relaxed, professional attitude. We’ve captured weddings in every major Christchurch venue, from the Botanic Gardens to The Vines Club, and we know exactly how to find the best light and the best angles in any location.

13. Do you offer affordable options for small weddings?

We believe everyone deserves beautiful memories, regardless of their budget. We offer specialized packages for small, intimate weddings and elopements in Christchurch. These are designed to provide high-quality, professional coverage at a more accessible price point.
