Rich Bayley Queenstown Wedding Photography

Rich is so incredibly talented, his photos really do speak for themselves.We didn't meet Rich until the morning of our wedding and he was phenomenal. He was so relaxed it just put me at ease. We had so much fun, he had us laughing all day, it was just incredible. Rich also got our photos back to us in record time, I still can't believe it. We have had so many compliments on our photos and they really do capture our magical day.Thank you so much Rich!!

Rich was so amazing as our wedding photographer in May. He kept us chatting and laughing all day (I don't think there's even one photo of us where we aren't smiling or laughing!) Meanwhile he was taking the most incredible photos. Honestly, we have been having people come up and tell us that they secretly wish their wedding photos could have been taken by him. Rich is a talented and professional wedding photographer, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone better to trust for your special day. We cannot recommend him enough!

He's the only person that could put me through a long photoshoot and actually make me enjoy it. And you WILL love the photos you get back, I've never felt more fabulous in my life!He also risked his life, almost fell off a cliff to get those photos, now THAT'S value :)Thanks Rich!

Rich was absolutely fantastic! We eloped and he gave us the best gift - each moment captured perfectly to share with our friends and family and to cherish forever. He was fun and so easy to work with, arranged all the helicopter logistics for us- we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We also never felt awkward once- we had the best day!I can’t recommend him enough!!

I honestly can not say enough great things about Rich Bayley! He was FANTASTIC to work with, throughout the wedding process. He was very communicative prior to the wedding, and made it exceptionally easy to coordinate everything from overseas - our schedule, photo wish list, payment, everything. He did THE MOST incredible job of capturing every moment of the wedding and got pictures of every single guest that attended. The photos he took during our helicopter trip to Roy's Peak were like nothing I had ever seen - all our friends say they are the most beautiful wedding photos they've seen and that they belong in a magazine! He had all the photos ready for us within a week after the wedding....I literally gasped when I saw them - they were exceptional. I would highly recommend Rich for any occasion, without hesitation!

Rich Bayley is a true professional at the top of his game. The whole process was flawless from the first time we got in touch with Rich, right through to the final photos produced. Rich's great energy, relaxed attitude and excellent direction made for a really memorable afternoon and the photos he captured are stunning. I highly recommended putting your trust in Rich... he really is the best!

Rich - thank you so much for the outstanding photos you produced of our wedding at New Zealand High Country. Four weeks on and my husband and I just cannot stop looking at them each and every day. You were super easy to work with, especially when it came to getting my huge and crazy extended family to focus for group photos. Your service was impeccable with a turn around for 1000 photos in a record time of 4 days. The link you created fos us to send to family and friends was brilliant. You were easy to work with, and enjoyed yourself throughout the day as much as the band and our guests. it was nice to see you stick around and join in the fun after your work day had come to an end. We will definitely be recommending you to family and friends for this upcoming weddings.Cheers Andy and Zoe Bailey

Rich was incredible to work with at our beautiful micro wedding in the Gibston Valley at the end of last year. As a couple my husband and I really aren't used to being in the middle of a photography shoot or the center of attention - so the fact that Rich made us feel completely at ease with plenty of laughs was wonderful.On top of this, his photos were incredible!Every single person who has seen them since has been amazed - we were even asked if the photos were for a magazine they are that great.If we are ever back in Queenstown and on the lookout for a photographer, Rich will be our first option.

Rich recently photographed our wedding and did such an amazing job, he was great at wrangling all our friends and relatives for the group photos and captured our special day in spectacular fashion. So stoked with the outcome and impressed by his professional but down to earth approach. Thanks Rich - Matt and Chenayde

Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Rich is super personable and very talented at his job. He did everything he could to empower and coach my partner and I into really just feeling like our best selves. Funnest photographer to work with! Rich was energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! We had no idea our small, intimate wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. We love every single one of our photos and had the best time while doing it. Don’t pass up the opportunity to work with the guy!
