“Brooke was our photographer for our April wedding at Lake Hāwea, she was amazing! Highly professional, really helpful and patient with our large wedding crowd, she managed us all really well. She was friendly, energetic, and knew exactly what would work to get the best photos. Our photos were all stunning and she captured the moments perfectly” - Karen
What people are saying…
“I recently had Brooke photograph our wedding after seeing her beautiful photos on Instagram. She does an amazing job, she makes it feel very natural and easy-going quietly snapping photos - you hardly know she’s even there. I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding photos turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Brooke, you captured a moment that will last a lifetime.” - Abby
“We hired Brooke for our Wānaka wedding in April and could not be more pleased with the service she offered. Not only is she stunningly talented with the photos she produces, she was also amazing to work with and made the whole experience easy and fun. We had our entire wedding shoot back in a very short timeframe and we're absolutely blown away with the images. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a photographer!” - Olivia
“Brooke was extremely friendly and welcoming - clearly explaining to us the shoot locations which were absolutely stunning not just in person but also expertly captured by her, and creating a comfortable environment for us to be as natural as possible. Her photography skills perfectly complement her knowledge of her home country and its stunning beauty, and we are delighted with the photos that she shot for us (her photography style + post processing is right up our alley). To top it off, we reckon we had great chemistry with her and were chatting like friends by the end of the shoot. We highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a shoot not just in New Zealand, but abroad as well should she happen to be there, and definitely check out her portfolio!” - Yu-En
“The best family photographer in Central Otago! Brooke captured the most special photos for us at an equally special and fleeting time in our lives. I was quite nervous to get family photos as our wee boy is a 2yo ball of energy but Brooke made us all feel comfortable and didn’t rush the session. She’s super chill, great with little ones and most importantly she managed to take the most beautiful photos of our family! It was a wonderful experience that exceeded all expectations.” - Leichelle
“Brooke is the best! We have already had two photoshoots with her! First one was at our home with a newborn, a toddler who just can’t sit still and a dog, and Brooke was so patient and positive. She managed our chaos well and she took beautiful photos of our family. Second photoshoot was a Christmas photoshoot. Again, Brooke was calm, professional and very good with kids! Highly recommend! Thank you.” - Mima
“We sought out Brooke as a result of local recommendations. From the first point of contact onwards, Brooke was the ultimate professional. She listened to what we were looking for and wove her magic into what for us was a truly awesome product. She went out of her way to explain each step along the journey and was very creative. She has an awesome demeanour and puts you at ease. Impressive photography knowledge. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone and look forward to seeing her work in the future. Thanks so much Brooke. You were an invaluable part of our great wedding day!!” - Kerry
“Brooke took the most amazing photos of our 17 month old and us. She captured our wee one's joy perfectly, and she made me actually look good! Brooke timed the shoot perfectly, the photos are in the most beautiful golden light. It honestly means so much to have these photos of our family together where you can see our happiness together. Highly recommend!” - Emma
“We decided to get some family photos done with Brooke when my partner’s family visited from England. We all really enjoyed the shoot and got some beautiful photos that we will always cherish. I would definitely recommend getting photos taken by Brooke Harwood Photography. She was very professional but also made you feel comfortable and you could be yourself around her plus the photos are amazing.” - Angel
“Brooke is an amazing family photographer, she is excellent with young children and made us all feel at ease. It was a very chilled photoshoot, and even managed to get 4 kids, 2 adults and 1 dog in a shot ! The light and colours she uses is incredible. Highly Recommend!” - Megan
“I had admired Brooke’s photography on Instagram for a while before we booked family photos. During the photoshoot Brooke was calm and supportive, she guided us gently and allowed us to be ourselves, we didn’t feel pressured or like it was a ‘photo shoot’. It felt like a family picnic with lots of fun and the photos were so natural and stunning. The lighting was perfect!! I couldn’t recommend Brooke enough. We will certainly be booking more family photos in the future!”- Olivia
“Brooke is absolutely amazing. When looking for a maternity photo shoot, she came highly recommended to me and now I can confidently personally recommend her to others! She’s so easy to work with, has great natural posing ideas, and produces such beautiful photos. If we hadn’t moved overseas, she’d be our family photographer! Her easy demeanour and effortless style will keep her busy so book her as soon as you can!” - Emily
