Justin Aitken Photographer

OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER JUSTIN WAS AMAZINGJustin captured all the special moments of our day, with a wide range of excellent photographs from intimate close ups to powerful landscapes, all shot in a fun and relaxing atmosphere, where he went above and beyond what we expected of him.Justin turned up the day before our wedding at our parents farm and we spent part of the afternoon scouting locations with Justin’s experience crucial in picking the good spots for the next day, and coming up with a plan to make sure the photo session ran smoothly. He made a real effort to understand what we were looking for while at the same time providing feedback to enhance the day and had a heap of ideas for us, and will easily adapt to the style you are looking for. That night we all went out for dinner and had a few beers, Justin came as well and we had a great time. He is easy to get along with, has heaps of enthusiasm, and is a likeable bloke that forms really good rapport with the bridal and groom parties.On the big day Justin put in a heap of effort. He wasn’t adverse to driving all-round the countryside in the morning to capture the lead up, and got right involved where he doesn’t just stand back and take photos but also helps out where needed! We both felt very comfortable around him and with the easy communication all the photography side of things just flowed along smoothly. He even stayed late at the reception and captured the dance floor action.The photos were then awesome, Justin supplied them soon after the wedding and was in regular contact letting us know how he was proceeding and sending us a few highlights as he worked on them. All in all a top bloke who takes top photos, thanks Justin

Justin is amazingly talented! We were recently in NZ on a family vacation with all 8 of us together. This was a rare opportunity, so we searched for the perfect photographer. We found Justin through reviews- and I have to say he lived up to every great review! We couldn't be happier with his work, and kindness to our family. He is extremely talented, and handled our family of 8 with ease. My kids said it was their favorite family photo shoot ever!! Thank you Justin!

My wife Karen and I had Justin do the photography for our Christchurch wedding. Justin was amazing to deal with right from the start, and worked in meeting with us on any trips he had to Christchurch before the wedding.We had Justin for the whole wedding day, which allowed us to get some amazing photos from the bridal party groups getting ready all the way up to the first dance. The edited photos were all fantastic and we have hundreds to use in our albums.I couldn't recommend Justin enough, he was very easy to work with and our experience was perfect.

Justin's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional throughout the entire process. He effortlessly captured the essence of each moment, resulting in stunning images that exceeded my expectations. Justin's friendly demeanor, clear communication, and exceptional editing skills make him an outstanding choice for anyone in need of a talented photographer.
