I don't even know where to start in what to say about Luisa and Api, it actually makes me want to cry thinking about our whole experience working with these 2 - they are the most special people who were a huge part of our wedding day! From the moment I found out about Luisa (through a recommendation) it was just the most special experience. Our first catch up to talk through our day I instantly knew that we were going to click and that she absolutely understood us as a couple and what we would be wanting to achieve through our photos and video! Understanding her packages and which would be most suitable for us, and even working with us to make it work well since we had an 'extra long day' starting our ceremony so early!! We planned our wedding in less than 4 months so to work with someone who was so professional with such a caring nature was exactly what we needed. Luisa made a comment to me that you end up spending most of your day with your photographer and videographer and she is absolutely right. Luisa and Api were right there without even knowing it (in the nicest possible way) and captured the true essence of our day. We wanted to capture the love and laughter and be able to tell a story about our day through the photos, and that is exactly what has happened. The video Api made was absolutely phenomenal!!! I watch it all the time! We had our 2 little boys, 4 & 1.5 present at the wedding and it is the most amazing memory for them. We have shared our photos and videos and people are absolutely blown away by them just like we are. Anyone who attended our wedding look at both and comment all the time how much Luisa and Api perfectly captured exactly what the day was like, and they were also taken through a journey of remembering while watching/ looking at them. They both also went above and beyond by working an incredibly long day in order to capture some of our dance floor action! These words aren't even enough for what they meant to our day and I can't recommend them enough!! Look no further for your video and photo requirements, Luisa Apanui Photography are who you are looking for!! xx

Luisa recently took some photos for my business. I needed to get some updated brand imagery done but was a little apprehensive since I'm a photographer myself and haven't been on the other end of the camera much. Luisa did such an amazing job, I felt really comfortable and she helped me with direction when I needed it which made me relax into our session. She managed to capture so many different angles and settings during our shoot that I can use for a number of different purposes on web, social media and print. I would highly recommend Luisa to anyone wanting to get a refresh for their brand imagery - she is fantastic at what she does.

Luisa is so talented and so professional in what she does. I had a studio shoot with her and her attention to detail and expertise made the biggest difference in the entire process and result. Everything turned out even better than I could have imagined, and she is also so easy to work with and extremally organized. I received all of my photos promptly and look forward to working with her again in the future!

K.

I knew it was very important to have beautiful photos for future memories of our wedding. We are so happy we decided to have Luisa capture these memories for us, as the photos turned out amazing! She was extremely flexible in working with us and had her partner Api take our wedding video which we are so grateful for! Again, a massive THANK YOU to the Incredible Team - Luisa & Api. The quality of your work is highly commendable & your easy going nature & professionalism made our wedding day & preparations a breeze. You captured our entire day so perfectly, bringing back all the happy memories with our whānau & friends. From the bottom of our hearts we Thank you! Arohanui - Ofa Lahi Atu - K + S

My boyfriend and I met Luisa for a shooting this summer in Germany. She prepared a beautiful mood board in advance and we picked some outfits from our wardrobe together. At the shooting day she brought some accessories and was well prepared. Luisa is so lovely and kind.🥰 It was a lot of fun shooting with her. It actually felt as if we already knew each other. ❤️ I highly recommend choosing Luisa as your photographer, you won’t regret! ❤️ Just look how our pictures turned out… she just knows how wo create the perfect picture. 🌞

We met Luisa at a wedding fair and we knew straight away we wanted to work with her because of her super friendly and fun personality. She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and very helpful, answering all of our questions. On the day Luisa was very organized, professional and very fun. We are typically camera-shy but Luisa confidently directed us and we really enjoyed the process. We ended up having a lot of guests not being able to come due to covid so we asked last minute if Api could video our ceremony for us to share with those who couldn't be there. Api made an awesome video that he edited and sent to us the day after our wedding. Both Luisa and Api are such hard workers and the photos and videos they produce are amazing, even better than we expected! Highly recommend this dream team!

L.

Luisa was our photographer for our elopement in November 2021 and she was amazing. Very professional but fun and the photos are beautiful. Highly recommend.

S.

We had some photos taken at the naming ceremony for our boys by Luisa and they are incredible! With her friendly approach, it felt like Luisa was part of the family on the day and she captured such beautiful shots for our family, we'll be forever grateful. Highly recommend the team whatever the occasion, they have a beautiful style, beautiful detail and just lovely people!

D.

Luisa turned our very first couple shoot into some happy beach time filled with lots of laughter. She created an atmosphere that felt super natural and I love her photographic style. We are absolutely stunned and blown away by how the photos turned out! Luisa is such a talent and as a big fan of her work I am hoping for more photoshoots to come :) Thank you so so much! xx

a.

To anyone looking for a photographer I couldn't recommend Luisa enough. Not only her work is absolutely amazing, but she is also a very professional and sweet person. She will make everyone feel comfortable, bring the laughter and joy.

S.

The sweetest and most patient photographer ever. Thoughtful and considerate throughout the whole day, made us felt comfortable and knows exactly what she is doing. Highly recommend to everyone. Giving a 5 star rating because there is only 5 stars available. Danke Luisa :)

S.

We were so lucky to find Luisa and Api for our pre-wedding photos/video. They are such an amazing team and we couldn't recommend them enough! They took us to some beautiful locations and organised our helicopter and flowers for us and planned our schedule so the day went smoothly. Most importantly they are such warm and fun people so it's easy to feel comfortable with them and you're guaranteed to have a great time on top of loads of stunning photos to treasure

M.

Luisa is a true artist - she did the photography for my daughters elopement and she captured every aspect of the beauty of a most special day. Her gentle, caring, professional approach was beautiful. Thank you Luisa for bringing a very special day back to life again in your photography.

E.

Having our most magical day captured by the talented photography team Luisa and Api was a wonderful experience. Luisa and Api worked closely with us before our big day to find out exactly what our vision for our photos were, they look the time to really listen and on the day strived to bring that vision to life. Luisa and Api are such a great team and working with them on our wedding day made our day that much more enjoyable. They felt like friends the instant they walked through the door and captured every special moment in its purest form. If you are in need of an incredibly talented photography and film team I would definitely choose Luisa and Api again and again. They are simply the best.

Luisa was fantastic at our wedding, highly recommend! Super professional and friendly and so easy to work with. 10 out of 10

Where do I begin?? Luisa is an absolute dream to work with. She is so responsive and patient, suggested where and what we could do for the styling of the shoot well before the wedding and her confidence just comforted me (me and my husband eloped to Wanaka with a couple friends and had no idea what to expect when we planned our wedding here as our original date had to be cancelled due to COVID). We are both camera shy and honestly I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with Luisa, she is easy going and super friendly. And we were lost for words when the pictures came out so quickly after the wedding. Wouldn’t hesitate to have Luisa be a part of your big day! She is AMAZING!! ❤️ So happy we have memories to last a lifetime.

J.

If you’re looking for a photographer to capture a special moment I would highly recommend Luisa! We had a family shoot with 4 children and our photos are SO beautiful. We cannot wait to display our photos at home. We will definitely be contacting Luisa again to capture our family memories. I know I will cherish these photos in years to come!

B.

My husband and I are thrilled with our wedding photos from Luisa. Everyone we talk to absolutely raves about how amazing the pics are. Luisa is detail oriented and will get everything perfect. She has incredible energy and zooms around getting everything organised and taking the best photos while we got to chill and enjoy ourselves. She is fun, friendly, energetic and very organised! She chased up all our vendors to make sure everything was perfect, including our helicopter company to get the best landing spot we could. I can’t recommend her highly enough, but the photos really speak for themselves anyway!

G.

Luisa shot our wedding in Germany and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It’s exactly everything we wanted and more! Luisa is seriously talented and really loves what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She did such an amazing job where she managed to capture so many wonderful moments, all the smiles and all of the tears, without us ever noticing that she was around! Luisa was very discrete and never intrusive. The photos are out of this world and tell the story of our day perfectly. They bring back every emotion from our wedding day and we will treasure these photos forever. Thank you so much for everything, Luisa. We highly recommend her!

C.

Luisa is the most incredible photographer! She is warm and welcoming and is perfect for your special day, you can have a lovely chat with her, she will make you smile all day! :)

Luisa helped me with some corporate photographs for a company website, and the end result was fantastic. Luisa very friendly and helpful and puts you at ease, especially if you are not used to having your photo taken. I would highly recommend to anyone. Than you Luisa !!

M.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable shoot with Luisa. It took place outside in the fields and the result was excellent. Lots of pics were put into frames to remind us of the good time we had. Luisa makes it easy to feel relaxed and comfortable during the shoot as she is a very outgoing and adorable person. That is why I can highly recommend her.

R.

I would highly recommend Luisa as a wedding photographer. She captured our special day in such an amazing way. She made sure that we all felt very comfortable and relaxed and it really shows in the photo's. We also got quite a few comments from our wedding guests , saying how professional she was. We can't thank her enough.

K.

I had the most amazing shoot with Luisa in Wanaka. She was so much fun, and made me feel really relaxed for the shoot. She was also great at directing me for poses. The shots turned out so natural and I loved all the edited pictures she sent me. I love her style, and I highly recommend Luisa!

A.

Luisa is an absolute creative & incredible photographer. When I first came across her Instagram, I immediately fell in love with her eye for capturing moments & her editing is so so beautiful. I was SO glad she was able to photograph my little family so last min & was so willing to work in days that suited us (we were travelling from Aus) — it’s truly is hard to come by someone with so much talent who is able to capture candid moments so well. Prior to our shoot she took the time to hear what we would like & made suggestions on locations in wanaka. On the day, she was so caring, relaxed, flexible and made us, and our little one feel so so comfortable. I have honestly never been so impressed with the quality of photography & editing we have received. There was not one photo we wouldn’t put on our wall & safe to say we are struggling to narrow it down as they were all incredibly beautiful, candid & natural. My only hope is to be able to travel to New Zealand every year to get our family photos done by her.

L.

Luisa is so personable, professional and reliable - and she certainly makes you feel at ease when you are around her. We have recently received MAGICAL engagement photos, and we so look forward to her shooting our wedding later in the year - I truly can't recommend Luisa enough!!

p.

Lusia was fantastic! We were gifted a new born photo shoot and the photos will be treasured forever. Lusia was prompt with e-mail response, arrived to our house on time and guided us through the session with gentle suggestions while asking us what we’d like as well. She is a beautiful and warm person who you instantly feel comfortable around. Our edited photos were send through on a gallery for us to view and select within the time frame that we were given. I highly recommend Lusia!

Luisa gave me real good quality pictures for my web page, She is very friendly to work with and helpful too. She had great range of equipment and furniture to take good quality pictures. I am very thankful for the lovely pictures.

S.

I had a professional couple shooting with Luisa and I really enjoyed booking her. She is a very skilled and talented photographer and a lovely person as well. I can highly recommend to book Luisa!

For our wedding photographer, we didn't just want someone who took great photos, we wanted someone with vision and passion. Luisa has everything! It is a joy to watch her work and to see how much she cares about catching the right light, the special moments, unique images and your photo wish list. She is extremely hard working as well as fun to be around. She's great at giving guidance on where to be or how to move your body for the best photos and she makes everything so easy. We were so comfortable to be behind the camera with her. I would recommend her in a heart beat because her excitement and energy is contagious and you feel like you're the only couple she's ever photographed. We also had Api doing our videography and haven't seen two people work better together. They are funny and warm and an amazing team! We only had to wait a matter of days for our sneak peek photos which is so important. I know some couples have had to wait months for a photo, and all you want to do after it's all over is relive the day over and over. We're so happy we chose Luisa while we can still afford her because she's going places, she's onto big things! Highly recommended - 10 stars!!
