2025 NZ Wedding Photographer of the Year, I specialise in relaxed, candid wedding photography that captures moments as they naturally unfold. Based in Dunedin, with 19 years’ experience, I photograph weddings throughout New Zealand and overseas. My packages are designed around your wedding, not the clock, because your day should be real and uniquely yours. Every wedding has its own rhythm, light, and emotion, and my style adapts seamlessly—whether moody, filmy, boho, or effortlessly relaxed. Fully accredited in Weddings and Fine Art, and a Grand Master with NZIPP, I consistently push creative boundaries to deliver timeless imagery you’ll cherish for decades.

​

 

Growing up, our family home was always full of photos. I spent hours lost in albums, a habit I still cherish today. My early love of photographing anyone and everything is where my passion began. I still remember the anticipation of waiting for film to be developed, often discovering half the images hadn’t worked and earning a reputation for chopping people’s heads off — oh how far I’ve come.

Life now is busy, chaotic and full of fun thanks to my two energetic boys. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m passionate about documenting milestones, adventures and authentic family connections, capturing real moments, emotions and stories families can treasure forever.

Re-imagining landscape art through photography has long been central to Janyne’s practice. Based in Central Otago, she is inspired not only by the region’s dramatic scenery, but by its quieter, softer moments and muted ambience. Her work reflects a balanced, contemporary style that uses colour, shape, texture, and pattern to convey feeling and meaning rather than simple documentation. Janyne carefully edits, prints, and frames all her own work, selling it from her workshop and gallery in Ranfurly. Highly regarded nationally and internationally, she is a Grand Master of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography, its highest distinction.

In this day and age, we are all too busy to stop and appreciate the little things in life. We are so caught up in our own lives that we forget to take the time to truly cherish the people who matter the most to us, which of course is our families. 

One way to make sure that you always have happy memories of your loved ones is to invest in professional family portraiture photography. Capturing the special bonds and relationships between parents and children & grandparents with  grandchildren is so special. 

Let's create special family heirlooms for now and future generations by tailoring a PORTRAIT SESSION for your family. The session can be held at your home, on your farm, in the studio or at a meaningful location to your family.
