Photography is more than just a profession, it is my passion. For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about creating art and telling stories through images. What is your story?
Through images, I can tell your story, the story of your relationships and the story of your wedding day. Emotions are high. Moments are fleeting. At the end of the day, it is the photographs that will bring back the all the cherished memories to remember forever.

My favourite approach is to tell a story through documentary photography. That's when clients comment that they didn't even notice me at the wedding and describe me as a ninja, nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
I also love creative environmental portraiture and the close up intimate moments of connection.
Every one is different and sometimes people want more or less guidance and I cater to that. There are times where I might give more direction to capture a certain mood, light or background. I always encourage people to enjoy the moments, the beauty of the place and each other- that's what is most important and the photos are the result of that appreciation and connection.
I love beautiful light, deep shadows, silhouettes, reflections, vibrant colours, big nature and emotive imagery.
I have photographed hundreds of weddings since 2011 on the west coast. I am familiar with all the resorts, beaches, forests and the changing light through the seasons. There are spots where the light is better at different times of the day and places that are less busy in the summer months.
I'm happy to help make a plan to get the best out of your photography time with me.
Send an email to marnierecker@gmail.com and tell me about your plans and what are your photography goals and inspirations. Let's work together to create some cherished images that will tell the story of your love and your special day.
Lucky! Rain and atmosphere can lend itself to beautiful imagery and story telling. Some of my favourite wedding photos have been on rainy days. Plus the greens of the rainforest are so vibrant on a rainy day.
Gale force winds and rain do pose some challenges and you might get wet but we will work together to make the process comfortable and fun. Many resorts have beautiful indoor spots and the forest canopy can sometimes be a good refuge for moody light and intimate moments.
A sneak peek of images will be available within a week. The full collection of photos will be delivered within 4-6 weeks. Depending on the season, I am going to try to get photos to you a lot sooner.
You will receive a password protected online gallery with all the edited high resolution photos in colour and black and white. You will be able to download them, print and share as you wish.
I also offer prints and album design.
YES! I love to travel and am always up for an adventure. Contact me with your ideas!
