A little about me
Getting ready for your wedding is a beautiful blend of anticipation and emotion. From finding the perfect venue to curating every detail, you want it to feel effortless and refined, and I’m right there with you. Whether you need someone to flare your dress, hold your shoes, or top up your drink, I’ll be there for it all.
My approach to photography is rooted in timeless storytelling. Less posing, more presence. When you look back, you’ll remember not just how it looked, but how it truly felt.

I'M JINAL
As a New Zealand wedding and elopement photographer I’m drawn to love in its rawest most authentic form. It’s the stolen glances the quiet smiles and those moments between words that tell your unique story. I focus on capturing not just the images but the feelings that make your day unforgettable.
When I am not behind the camera you will probably find me in the outdoors, finding a trail to run, camping in the mountains to recharge, channelling my inner Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen, or exploring culture and new places travelling the world.. If you’re ready to have your greatest adventure documented with heart and soul I’m here to make it happen.
