Koru Photography (Tamara) is a Christchurch wedding specialist. She creates candid, storytelling wedding photos and relaxed engagement portraits—natural moments, timeless images for couples.
Koru Photography is Tamara’s heartfelt practice in Christchurch, positioned as a specialist wedding photographer who treats every wedding as a unique love story. Tamara’s work is driven by a love of real connection: she seeks the tiny, unscripted moments — stolen glances, belly laughs, quiet embraces — and turns them into professional wedding photos that feel honest and timeless. As a wedding photography specialist, Tamara blends a documentary eye with thoughtful portraiture. On the wedding day she is both chameleon and calm presence: unobtrusive when life is unfolding, and gentle but confident when it’s time to guide portraits and group shots. That balance creates a natural, relaxed atmosphere for couples who want bridal photography that looks and feels like them, not a list of posed frames. Her approach is rooted in storytelling. She listens to what matters to each couple, then crafts a visual narrative that captures atmosphere as much as faces. The result is a cohesive collection of wedding photos — candid moments, intimate portraits, and joyful celebrations — that let you relive the day the way it felt. Working from Christchurch, Tamara regularly photographs weddings across New Zealand and is happy to travel. She offers engagement photography as part of her wedding storytelling, a gentle session that helps couples relax in front of the camera and creates beautiful images to mark the lead-up to the big day. These engagement shoots are also a great way to get to know Tamara’s style and the ease she brings to a session. While weddings are her primary focus, Tamara occasionally photographs maternity and family sessions. These are approached with the same sensitivity and warmth, but Koru Photography’s reputation and core expertise remain firmly in wedding and engagement photography. Choosing Koru Photography means choosing a wedding day photographer who values authenticity, calm professionalism, and a storytelling aesthetic. If you want your wedding captured with emotion, texture, and honest beauty — and delivered as professional wedding photos that stand the test of time — Tamara in Christchurch is ready to listen, plan, and create with you.
