Wedding Photographers in New Zealand
Top 5 rankings across New Zealand
No licence or register covers photographers in New Zealand and accreditation with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography is voluntary, so the contract does the work: get hours of coverage, edited-image count, delivery date, and deposit and cancellation terms in writing. Under the Copyright Act 1994 the couple who commissions and pays for the photographs owns the copyright by default unless the contract says otherwise, so read that clause before signing rather than assuming the photographer holds it. A 5.0 rating is common in this category, so weigh review count and how recent the reviews are, and ask to see two or three complete wedding galleries rather than a highlights page.
