Reviews of Kiwi Captures Photography

Brogan is incredible at what she does! Everyone needs to have a Brogan in their life!
I tell everyone and anyone that will listen to me about our wedding photographer! From the first email I sent until the special 'post wedding' package that arrived on my doorstep with our wedding album and 'extras'. We were so impressed to have our photos back so quickly and they were incredible.
Her professionalism was faultless and her communication was even better. We are so thankful that we chose Brogan to capture our day. She really is amazing and everyone should book her for their own special moments to be captured! Brogan had thought of everything and was so helpful when I was unsure. As part of our package we got an engagement shoot. These too are photos we will treasure forever because she got so many special moments with our little girl. We love looking through our wedding album and seeing different photos each time, she really did capture our day beautifully including all the little details. Her easy going nature put me at ease on my wedding day when she reminded me that it was about us and there was no time restraints, just go with it!
Thank you so much for your hard work Brogan, , working with you was simply the best decision we had made and we will treasure our photos forever!
1000% recommend Kiwi captures!!

Brogan and Amy from Kiwicaptures are professional, friendly, approachable and have excellent attention to detail. We had looked into a few photographers but loved how Brogan made the booking process so easy and always communicated with us all the way. We were worried as we had to postpone our wedding and reschedule several times due to Covid-19 but Brogan was so lovely to deal with and made sure we could find a new date with ease. Brogan and Amy captured our beautiful wedding and we are so happy with the photos :-) Would recommend Kiwicaptures to anyone planning their wedding!! AA++++ 5 stars!!

From start to end we were delighted with Brogan's professionalism and response rate! We had our family photos done by Brogan and I can tell you for a family that is quite camera shy (minus my 6 year old daughter) she made us feel so comfortable with her natural flair working with not only people but surrounding environments and weather challenges and we were not disappointed with the images, infact made us quite teary! Absolutely recommend her services and will definitely use her again even if it means travelling down half the south island!!

Anyone can take a picture, but Brogan captures authentic moments. From the start, Brogan was fantastic; communication, options, discussion, accomodating requests, everything was handled professionally.
The hour we spent with Brogan, was one of the best hours we've had in a while. She made us feel at ease, let us be us, embraced the natural fauna, and just captured some beautiful moments.
If you need a photographer, you won't go wrong with Kiwi Captures and Brogan.

Brogan you are absolutely incredible! You captured our family so perfectly and gave us photos that we seriously will treasure forever. I was worried about having the stereotypical family photos but you gave us so much more than we expected and were absolutely incredible with our wee one! We thought we were the most unphotogenic people but the way you helped us in our photos says otherwise. You captured us in the most natural way, truly having the best time. I cannot thank you enough! We will definitely come back for more photos in a heartbeat and will recommend you to everyone we can!

We decided to use Kiwi Captures as our wedding photographer after seeing some of her work in friends wedding and maternity photos. I loved how she managed to capture not only pretty photos, but the true face of my friends.
On our wedding day, I was a bit worried we would be aquward infront of the camera; as my husband and I are not used to having our photos taken. Luckily Brogan is a pro and made us feel very at ease, infact half the time we didn't even notice she was there. She is kind, confident, unobtrusive, talented and caught every special moment of our day.
I had the best day on our wedding day and I am stoked that I can relive it all in such detail via the beautiful and real photos we have. Thank you.
S.
Oh my gosh where to start! We had the best experience working with Brogan. The photos turned out absolutely amazing! Communication and planning was super easy. We were both a bit nervous never having photos taken professionally and thought that might show through in the photos, but Brogan is incredibly easy to work with, she made us both feel relaxed and comfortable and we quickly forgot she was snapping away with her camera. The photos are amazing and something we both are so glad we done! 100% recommended for photos you'll never want to stop looking at!

I’m never sure how to begin reviews, so we’ll just go with this: Brogan captured our anniversary in New Zealand in such an amazing way that I can say with confidence that our children will flip through these images one day; like, our wedding photos will be in a photo album somewhere as well, but we’ll probably show them these first Haha she EASILY captured our favorite photos ever taken of us (side note: we hate being in front of the camera lol) Brogan was not only able to coach us into natural, romantic poses, but also allowed our goofy personalities to show through and capture the emotions we had throughout our entire once-in-a-lifetime trip to the South Island! As photographers ourselves, my husband and I understand how difficult it can be to capture emotion and not just “pretty pictures”; Brogan absolutely knocked it out of the park!! Despite the time difference between our two locations (18 hours to be exact), Brogan was in constant communication with us prior to our trip. She helped educate us on various location options and helped us narrow down a spot that was perfect for the style we were hoping for! Not only did she meet us where we were at that stage in our road trip, she did it before the sun had even risen!! She met us at our hotel in Queenstown and drove us to a beautiful spot in the mountains, just in time for an incredible sunrise. She was even prepared for the freezing temperatures and brought a blanket for me to use between shots! (Sometimes beauty really IS pain; I just HAD to rock a summer dress in the winter… We felt like instant friends with Brogan and even grabbed a well-deserved breakfast together afterwards! We’re firm believers in capturing your travels in photo form rather than a souvenir magnet or shot glass; adventure-loving photographers like Brogan make this possible! Whether you’re a first-time visitor to the island or a long-time local, HIRE THIS GIRL TODAY!! ** We seriously can’t thank you enough, Brogan! :) **

Brogan was amazing on our wedding day. She was professional, easy going and gently kept us to our time frame. It was like we had known Brogan forever she fitted into our wedding day perfectly, nothing was a problem. We had so much fun getting photos taken and her eye for detail was exactly what we wanted. We have the most amazing photos of our wedding day she captured it beautifully. The album she put together is wonderfully set out and will be treasured forever. Do not hesitate to book Brogan for your wedding photos it is the best decision we made. Brogan we can't thank you enough for capturing our day perfectly. Kara and Gordie McMillan

We chose Brogan to take some family photos and it was the best decision ever! Going out in the middle of winter with two young children is always a bit nerve-wracking and I was worried this might translate to our pictures, but as soon as I talked with Brogan we made a plan and that worry turned to excitement. We had a last minute change of location due to the wild wintery weather and that was no issue at all.
Our session was so much fun. Brogan knew exactly where in the park to take us, including a few spots we'd never considered! Everyone had a great time and we enjoyed exploring the park as a family with Brogan capturing all kinds of fun interactions and special little moments, especially of the kids, and I know for sure we'll treasure looking back on these pictures forever!
This was our second time working with Brogan after she took amazing unicorn photos for our daughter's birthday last year, these were a REALLY special treat, and we know we'll be coming back again in the future. Nothing was an issue, Brogan has incredible communication and can answer any and every question, we all had a great time, and the photos we have received (with super-fast turnaround!) are incredible and really capture the personalities of our family. Thank you so much 💖💖

Brogan from Kiwi Captures Photography was just unreal on our wedding day! She covered all the details leading up and was so professional. We wouldn't know any other photographer that covers the same level of detail as Brogan. She's knowledgeable, accommodating and incredibly talented. Her work is simply stunning. We couldn't fault her. 100% would recommend Kiwi Captures to anyone.
S.
What can we say except, WOW!!
Brogan absolutely surpassed any sort of expectations that we had for photographing our wedding. She made us feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera and she captured our day beautifully.
Our wedding day has been and gone but the photographs that Brogan has captured will last a lifetime.
We cannot recommend Kiwi Captures enough!
Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

I recently met Brogan after being a fan for a while, and had a family shoot and unicorn shoot for my little girl. Brogan was so lovely to be around and made everyone feel comfortable which shows in the images we now have. I'm over the moon with the photos. Highly recommended x
N.
How can we even begin to explain how amazing Brogan has been over our wedding experience.
Before we booked Brogan as our photographer we were anxious about feeling awkward getting our photos taken and not knowing what to do with a camera in our face. After falling in love with Kiwi captures on Instagram we decided to book her in for our wedding photographer. Straight away Brogan made us feel comfortable and at ease. She was always friendly in her emails and responded straight away and answered any questions we had no matter how silly they were. Brogan is situated in Invercargill however was more than happy to travel for our wedding in Wanaka.
We first met Brogan with our engagement photo shoot that came with our package this was the best option as we were able to get to know her and see how she works. We instantly felt at ease and as if we had known Brogan forever, she was friendly and professional. She went through all elements to get photos on the beach with us and they came out better then we could ever expect.
On our wedding day Brogan and Amy were on time and ready to get photographing. It was surprising how much you don’t notice the camera there and to see what amazing photos can be captured in real time. Not once did Brogan make us fake it or pose and instead let us be natural and comfortable which can be seen in the photos we received. Brogan was calm and professional on the wedding day which made for a smooth easy day with no need for a bridezilla moment. Brogan was very fast at getting us photos after the wedding and we really couldn’t ask for anyone better. The photos are beautiful quality and have turned out more than perfect for us to share our memories forever.
We honestly could not recommend Brogan enough as a Wedding photographer.
K.
A big concern my partner had about wedding photographers was that they would try to boss us around for photos, I knew this wouldn't be the case with Brogan at all! She was so great to work with leading up to the big day. Answering any questions clearly and as detailed as my wedding file I had on hand for the day! The day was an absolute dream and although we ran a little late (which is not something I'd normally like!) it was entirely worth it for the incredible moments she and Amy captured. Those images truly are gifts my family and I will cherish for all the years to come, it was the best day of my life to date and I couldn't have imagined anything better than the pictures I have forever now. Anyone who is on the fence with their decision, jump over! Brogan and Amy are both incredibly talented, fun, easy going, professional and all round wonderful people to share your day with and I would recommend them to anyone I can! Thank you guys for the memories of my most memorable day xxx
H.
Brogan is AWESOME! Her photos are AMAZING! Our biggest concerns prior to the photo shoot was that we didn't want your usual family style portrait pictures. We wanted fun, movement and natural! When I read Brogan's bio and saw pictures she had taken I knew she was going to be perfect for our family! We are also probably a bit awkward in front of the camera so needed some direction too! Brogan was super quick in her communication with us, she listened to what we were after and I was excited prior to the shoot! Brogan was professional yet casual and made us all feel at ease! (That is big as my husband is not a photo person at all!) We had soo many laughs on the evening of the shoot. We love our phots, they are fun, natural and exactly what we hoped for. We would absolutely, definitely recommend Brogan from Kiwi Captures! We would definitely have her take photos for us again!
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
B.
Wow!! Blown away with kiwi captures , Brogan is an absolute dream to work with and incredible at her job. We feel privileged to have had such a great team capture our wedding day, they were super relaxed, flexible and equally professional. We had our wedding photos back within the month and they were outstanding. Cannot recommend kiwicaptures enough . Extremely impressed, we were keen on a mixture of shots and especially those candid ones ....and they nailed it !
S.
We were so grateful to not only have Brogan capture our special day but for the advice she gave us during the planning process. Planning a wedding can be so overwhelming but right at the start Brogan said think about what is most important to you and that is what you want to invest your money in. I kept this in my mind through the whole planning process and it really helped me to not get carried away and to stay focused.
Photography was definitely one of those important things on our list. These photos will be something we look back on and enjoy for the rest of our lives and we always knew we wanted Brogan to capture it all for us. We love her photography style and how fun and relaxed she is, it makes having your photo taken and absolute breeze!
We were blown away with our wedding photos and the beautiful album we received from Brogan. We can not recommend her enough and we look forward to her capturing many more special moments for us in the future.
Thanks again, Brogan. You’re insanely talented! Xx
O.
I don't even know where to start on how INCREDIBLE Brogan is.
One of the biggest concerns I think when booking a photographer is are you getting what they are promising? In Brogans case you are getting so, so much more.
I can't fault her communication and professionalism, and she is just the nicest person to be around. For 10 + hours she worked non stop to capture the most breathtaking photos from our day.
I have no idea on where to start to pick out just a few to print they are all just so beautiful! And the amazing package that arrives on your doorstep after is just so thoughtful!
If you are on the fence about hiring don't give it another thought, it is a decision you will not regret.
We will never be able to thank Brogan enough for the amazing memories she captured for us.
R.
Brogan captured the raw emotion in our eyes, the natural moments of pure bliss, the tears, hugs, laughs plus all the magic in between. We have no idea how we are going to chose our photos for the album!
We thank you once again for your amazing artistry, you are one talented lady! It was such a pleasure to have you a part of our special day and you made it all seem effortless and where so easy to deal with and got our photos to us so quickly.

Brogan and Amy were the best wedding photographers we could have ever asked for. Their professionalism and lovely personalities made the photography comfortable and fun! We only had 2 months to plan our wedding and were worried about not finding a photographer in such short notice but Brogan was readily available, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. She was amazing with her communication and fast replies, allowing us to keep the ball rolling as our special day approached rapidly. While Brogan and Amy took our photos, they consistently ensured that we were relaxed and being natural. Often we would recieve kind words from them as they complimented us throughout the day. The weather played up a bit on both our engagement and wedding shoot but that didn't hinder the photography at all and they made the absolute most of it to produce amazing photos. If you are unsure about hiring Kiwi Captures to photograph your wedding, rest assured that you are going to receive high quality, professional photos delivered by exceptional photographers who give 110% on everything. You will never be disappointed!
Thanks again Brogan and Amy, couldn't be happier!

Brogan did our maternity photo shoot for us and she was AMAZING! She managed to incorporate all the shots we wanted to get and was able to gently direct us to get the most out of our outdoor location.
Brogan is so passionate about photography and it shows in her enthusiasm during the shoot and the quality of the photos she has captured.
Very prompt with communication and we had our pics within the week.
I can highly recommend Kiwi Captures for capturing any special moments you have coming up. I will certainly be using them again.
S.
Brogan is an amazing photographer. We did our maternity shoot with her and it was so wonderful. She has quality to make everything easy and comfortable for you while photoshoot, we enjoyed the entire session so much. And we got the best photos ever. Hats off to Brogan for her excellent photography.
K.
They did our wedding in Alexandra in March. The professionalism and skill level was amazing, but also the natural ability to become your friend throughout the experience. We really felt at ease with Brogan behind the camera, and it showed.
I cannot recommend Kiwi Captures enough; not only were the photos themselves of high quality, but the physical package from the album right down to the USB stick was presented with care.
Brogan I really hope we can think of an excuse to hire you again in the near future :)

Silver wedding anniversary photo shoot 📸 I have loved Brogans work from the first day I seen her photos...
Brogan makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, We were a little nervous as both of us are a little camera shy..Once Brogan started taking photos, it was like we knew her all our lives which made the laughter and smiles come naturally 😁
Cant wait to have Brogan take many more photos of us and our families in the future.
Forever Grateful Kiwicaptures 💕

Brogan is a magician of photography!
We got married in October 2019 and I decided Brogan was the photographer for us after looking through her amazing photo gallery. I was really drawn to the artistic flair and moodiness of her work.
We've never had professional photos taken before and were all a bit nervous about being models! Brogan insisted we do the engagement shoot that was included in our package and we're so pleased we did. She was great at directing us and putting us in natural positions that didnt look like we were posing.
We really pushed Brogan and Amy to the limits on our wedding day. We had so much going on including being on top of a mountain in a hurricane, aerobatic display, burnouts, we were pushed for time and my wedding party were all over the place! I couldnt believe my eyes when we got the photos back! Despite the pressure we put them under they delivered the most amazing arty, magazine worthy wedding photos I've ever seen! Theyve captured the emotion, the small details, the whole story and not one boring photo amongst the 600 on the USB stick. Not only did Brogan deliver amazing photographs, the care and attention that went into putting together the final delivered package was above and beyond! Plus she was way ahead of the date she said she'd have them to us.
I highly recommend hiring Brogan for your special occasion if you want jaw-dropping photos and a fun relaxed photographer who doesnt mind going the extra mile to get that amazing angle.
L.
We chose Brogan for our adventure session photo shoot because we loved her natural style of photography.
We wanted some amazing shots with our red kombi van in the hills of Alexandra - because that's who we are and what we're about. We've not had photos taken of us together since our wedding day and I think it's important to create memories throughout your life together.
But we're not at ease in front of the camera - so that was an initial concern when we wanted to have natural looking photos. Brogan is awesome though at just making the whole session feel like we're out having an adventure together as a couple with our bestie along! We ended up in sitting in our van at the end with the heater on to warm up after it got cold, just chatting with her about all sorts.
You don't have to put on make-up, get your hair done, wear you glam clothes (unless you want to!) That's not us, and that's what we loved about our photo shoot.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brogan to anyone as their photographer - whether it be a wedding or couples wanting to create some new memories together. You only have to check out her photos to see what a beautiful story she creates - go and book her today!!
M.
Brogan is amazing! I've had her do headshots for me and she's also done heaps of promotional photos for my beauty business and always love the results. She's super professional and is willing to make anything happen! Always full of brilliant ideas. Cannot recommend her enough!
M.
This was our 2nd family/maternity photo shoot with Brogan, she has a great professional approach and a flare for visualizing great spots and angles to get some beautiful photos and scenery. Her website, communication and quality of work are of a high standard, we felt comfortable and confident with her skill throughout both photo shoots and I will definitely be getting in touch again in future for further photos :)

Brogan was the photographer we chose for our helicopter elopement in Fiordland. An elopement is super intimate and when having a wedding with such few people around, every single person is memorable. Brogan fit right into the setting and was awesome, fun, friendly, kind and flexible. She completely understood what we were after. The couple of days we had with her (cause our wedding day wasn't the mountain wedding we hoped for, and we got to fly the next day too) was awesome. She had us completely at ease and even took away the stress of coordinating with Fiordland Helicopters (who are also great) for us when the weather was looking dicey for our wedding day. The turnaround time was great and our photos and the album she put together for us were fantastic, of great quality and truly captured our day and what we were all about.
J.
The photos delivered so much faster than we’ve expected! A week after shooting! They look AMAZINGGGGG!
We LOVE those photoss, love the sunrise, the scenery, love the moments that Brogan’ve captured!
She has ‘got’ us the exactly sort of photography that we were after for this shooting!
Brogan has been an absolute dream to work with, we had so much fun during the shoot too, had a great laugh and its definitely an awesome one of a kind experience for us! Her experiences, professionalism and guidance made the shooting went so smoothly, which allow us to relax and just be ourselves in the shoot.
If you are considering who to book for your next photoshoot, look no further. I am sure you’ll be absolutely happy with her professionalism and the the photos are simply amazing! we are considering her for our next shooting already!
We couldn't be more happier with the results! Thank you for the ride, thank you for your time, patient and passion in photography! ❤️❤️❤️
Love, J n N from Msia

There isn't anyone out there in the country like Brogan at kiwi captures. Choosing her was easy and everything that followed to the day my photos arrived (way ahead of the expected time fram) was just as easy! Her style is creative and stunning and so so personal. Her talent is unreal. We were so glad to have her at our day she was honestly like one of our friends and she did not disappoint when those photos arrived they were outstanding! She manages to capture everything we hoped for and more, finding a photographer that's as professional and produces this kind of quality is not usually this affordable either, yet another amazing surprise. If you're looking for legit personal photos that aren't your stock standard up posed shots everyone else has then Kiwi Captures is definitely the way to go. I now need to plan something else exciting for an excuse to get her back again! Xxx

My boyfriend and I were flying to Queenstown from Sydney to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. I wanted to capture our first overseas trip together by organising a photoshoot. I felt apprehensive when reaching out to Brogan as I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to arrange a photoshoot in another country. Brogan put my mind to ease and promptly answered all of my questions. I really appreciated her wonderful location suggests as well as her advice on what to/what not to wear as I really had no idea what to expect going into this.
On the day everything ran like clock work. Brogan picked my boyfriend and I up from our hotel and we all travelled together to each location. It was so incredible that she offered us transport as we weren’t renting a car at the time and were concerned about how much an uber would cost.
My boyfriend and I are by no means models so we weren’t sure how the shoot was going to play out but Brogan made us feel so comfortable every step of the way! We had an absolute blast and loved working with Brogan. Thank you Brogan for such a memorable time together! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
A.
Brogan took a group of us out for a 1-day workshop of guided shooting around the Catlins. We packed a lot in, we visited 4 iconic locations, with plenty of time to try different setups, ask questions, and learn from Brogan's experience with her easy-going but professional teaching style and I would recommend this experience to other aspiring photographers.
L.
We've had the pleasure of working with Brogan twice. One Family photo session and one incredible unicorn session couldn't reccomend her enough. So many amazing photos it's hard to pick favourites.
M.
I went on a photography day trip with Brogan and it was a great time all around. Her tips for photography were easy to follow and the locations we went to were stunning. Very tasty food was supplied for a picnic lunch that the group had! I had a fantastic time. Would go again.
b.
Kiwi Captures photography was a amazing experience, so friendly and perfect at what she did. Love the photos so much will be buying them all 😊. Reccomend to everyone for photos.
S.
So awesome loved the photos I had taken of my wee Granddaughter and her wee friend with the Unicorn Photo Shoot so worth while having done. Thank you once again
