Rakib Rax is a Christchurch wedding photographer specialising in emotive, storytelling wedding and engagement photography. Friendly, down‑to‑earth approach with cinematic, timeless images.
Rakib Rax Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Christchurch, GB, focused on capturing the real emotion and story of your wedding day. I believe the best wedding photos come from a relaxed, attentive approach: blending documentary moments with thoughtful portraiture so you end up with images that feel genuine, cinematic and timeless. Why choose Rakib Rax for your wedding? My work is rooted in storytelling — I aim to record the small gestures, spontaneous laughter and raw emotion that make each wedding unique. With professional lighting, a wide range of lenses and an experienced eye for composition, I create photos that work beautifully across albums, digital galleries and your wedding website. Couples consistently tell me they love how the images feel like a true reflection of the day rather than staged snapshots. What makes my approach special is simplicity and care. From our first conversation I listen to what matters most to you, then I plan coverage that honours your timeline and priorities. On the day I work unobtrusively to capture authentic moments, stepping in for posed portraits when you want them, and guiding groups and families with a calm, friendly manner. I offer flexible packages tailored to different budgets and can include engagement or bridal shoots so you feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. How we work together: I’ll usually suggest a short planning chat to understand your schedule, locations and any must‑have shots. I shoot on location across Christchurch and surrounding areas, bringing professional lighting, backup equipment and an assistant when needed. For couples who want more than photos, we can discuss videography and live streaming as additional options — recorded and produced with the same cinematic intent — while keeping wedding photography as the core focus. My passion for weddings comes from a love of storytelling and the privilege of preserving one of life’s most meaningful days. If you want authentic, professional wedding photos from a down‑to‑earth Christchurch photographer who cares about how your memories are captured and presented, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your plans and help bring your vision to life.
