Hi, I’m Yvonne, the photographer behind Yvonne Liew Photography. Based in Wellington, I photograph weddings throughout the Kapiti Coast, Wairarapa, Manawatū, Hawke’s Bay, Whanganui and across New Zealand.
Weddings are at the heart of what I do. I’m drawn to the emotion, the energy, and the quiet in-between moments that make every celebration unique. My approach blends documentary storytelling with refined portraiture, allowing your day to unfold naturally while creating timeless images that not only show how your wedding looked, but bring you right back to how it felt.
With a background in Visual Communication from Massey University and many years working as a graphic designer, my work is guided by a strong sense of composition, light and thoughtful detail. I’m always looking for beautiful pockets of light, soft golden hour tones and genuine connection — capturing moments as they naturally happen while gently guiding you when needed.
While weddings are my specialty, I also photograph families, maternity and newborn sessions, documenting life’s milestones with the same care and attention.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with my husband Mickey and our children Tommy and Ria, exploring Wellington’s Sunday markets, enjoying yum cha, or searching for the next house plant to bring home.
If you’re planning your wedding and feel a connection with my work, I’d love to hear about your plans.
