auckland elopement photographer

Could not recommend tu studios enough! My partner and I had so much fun from the planning to the day to seeing our final photos. The whole experience felt personalised, intimate and just very special.

It's a day my partner and I will look back on with much fondness and the photos capture it so beautifully. It made me giddy seeing the photos where I feel pretty, felt like it was out of a fairy tale. Could go on for days but 10/10 recommend!

We can’t put into words how incredible Shelby is. From the very start, she was so easy to work with. She is organized and truly invested in making sure our vision came to life. She has this gift for capturing true emotions, not just poses, but the real, raw feelings behind every moment.

One of the most unforgettable memories was when she played our song while we danced to it. We were completely in the moment, crying, overwhelmed with love, and she captured it so beautifully. She captured the emotion, the energy, the magic of it all. Looking at those photos now, we can feel everything all over again.

Her work is dreamy, nostalgic, and filled with emotion. She doesn’t just take photos but she creates art that tells a story. If you want someone who sees and feels the moment just as deeply as you do, she’s the one.

I can not recommend Shelby enough - she was INCREDIBLE.

Not only did she make us feel calm, relaxed and peaceful but she made the process go smoothly and she really LISTENED to what we wanted. She asked amazing questions in the lead up to our wedding day and made me feel so at ease while communicating with her. The communication was incredible!!!

Not only was my experience with Shelby incredible but the photos speak for themselves! WOW just WOW i couldn't have asked for something more magical then what she produced.

I am in awe of this incredible woman and any one who is lucky enough to get her as a photographer will be truly, truly blessed by her skills as a photographer and as a person. The photos were warm and nostalgic and made you feel the love and excitement of the day.

I feel so grateful that we had her with us on our special day - to capture the most beautiful candid shots that captured our love.

I especially loved when she facilitated a space for us to just pause and be in each others presence. Sometimes with photos and the busyness of the day you forget to do that but with Shelby she made it a priority for us to connect.

Shelby, you are incredible!!!!! Do not hesitate to book her for your next photoshoot!!!

Shelby is a brilliant photographer and creates the most dreamy images - me and my partner couldn’t believe how magical the photos looked! She was also so calming and made the whole photoshoot process super comfortable, even though we don’t normally love being photographed. I wish I had an excuse to do another photoshoot with her, she’s fantastic!

Shelby created an experience beyond our wildest dreams!! Neither of us are overly comfortable in front of a camera, but we were able to work with Tu Studios to develop a vision that was really fun, special and felt unique to us. We felt supported throughout the whole process, and were able to laugh and relax, while participating in a photoshoot that produced gorgeous shots we will cherish ❤️
