What Our Clients Say
Dana & Rob Rickwood
“Aaron. What can we say? Rob and I have been looking at these absolutely gobsmacked. We had no idea they were going to look this fantastic! We can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done. You’ve honestly got me close to tears seeing those pics.”
Christine & Clayton Edge
“We put a lot of research into choosing our photographer, and Aaron exceeded our expectations in quality, creativity, and in his ability to make us relax. The final product exceeded even the samples that we had seen on his website. He spent a lot of time with us and at the venue before the wedding, and this really showed on the day with his organisation and planning of the shoot. He had plenty of creative ideas, and put us both at ease in front of the camera. We had lots of fun on the shoot, which really added to our day. Aaron has a real eye for locations and lighting, and could see some great opportunities for photos and suggested plenty of good locations around our venue. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to have high quality wedding photos to remember their day with.”
Kate & Matt O’Dwyer

“Aaron is an incredible photographer and kept our stresses to a minimum on and before our wedding day. We were impressed by his professionalism and acute sense for detail. His photos captured the emotions and personalities of our guests, which remind us every time we look at them of how much love and happiness was around us. We would highly recommend Aaron to any couple that are looking for a professional that invests time in preparation and produces amazing and consistent results. Thanks Aaron!”

“We were delighted to have Aaron Goodwin as our wedding photographer for our ceremony at Pukeiti Gardens, New Plymouth on January 7, 2008. Aaron was a pleasure to work with from our first contact. He responded promptly to all our queries, working with us and with my family to coordinate the booking we made from overseas. His packages were well designed and easy to understand, yet his pricing structure made it easy to choose a custom package for our unusual wedding timetable.
“When we met Aaron for an engagement shoot a week before our wedding, he immediately put us at ease. He responded to all our queries and gave us tips on how to ensure our photos would look as good as possible. Aaron’s commitment to his art was most evident in the days before the wedding, when he not only attended the rehearsal to help us choose the best location for our outdoor ceremony from a lighting point of view, but also spent several hours with us at our main shoot site half an hour away. He selected locations that would result in great photos, but still took into account their accessibility for women in dresses and heels! And upon hearing we had a helicopter available to us, he worked with the pilot to arrange for an aerial photo shoot – we didn’t have to do anything.
“On the day, Aaron was delightful to work with. His presence was unobtrusive, yet he kept everyone smiling with his humour. We had so much fun during the photo shoot, trying out different poses and ideas – it was one of the highlights of our wedding day. We really appreciated his flexibility in dividing up his time – when the sun was too bright in the afternoon to get the individual photos of guests we’d asked for, he rearranged his plans to take them at the reception when we would be indoors. When there were issues or challenges, Aaron went out of his way to ensure they were resolved to our satisfaction.
“And as for the photos themselves – they are amazing. Aaron not only took beautiful, artistic, impeccably lit photos during the main shoot, he captured all the significant moments of the wedding day. His style is modern and fun, and we think it will stand the test of time. We know our photos won’t be put away in an album and forgotten – we will be proud to display them for years to come. We would not hesitate to recommend Aaron Goodwin to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. If you’re looking for someone who is excellent in both the art and business sides of a photography business, and is as talented in capturing spontaneous moments as in framing artistic couple shots, Aaron should be your first choice!”
Ngaire & Grant Angus
“We are writing to express our total satisfaction with your work at our wedding shoot and to share our thoughts with any prospective clients. From our early meetings you were attentive, informative and put us totally at ease. To view examples of your work in your studio was a great advantage; nevertheless we never dreamed the photographic memories of our wedding day would be so very exquisite. In addition to the quality of your production, a key ingredient to the success of our day was the ease in which you worked in with our celebrant, MC, guests and venue staff. We were completely unaware of your presence during our ceremony, yet you captured so many beautiful moments, highlighting your incredible artistic flair and complete professionalism. Aaron thanks to you we now have unique and creative art works of the most special day of our lives. The people we love the most have been captured on permanent record in such an innovative and inspired way and everyone who has seen the CD files is as impressed as we are. We wish you all the very best and will be recommending your services to all our friends and family that require a talented, artistic and professional photographer. We certainly hope to work with you again in the future.”

Sam & Tom Bennett
“I would just like to say that Tom and I really appreciate the amazing photography that you did for us on our wedding day in December 2007. The diversity in angles and capturing the spirit of the day was just fantastic, I really appreciate the easy way that you worked with us through out the day and that you worked with the minimum impact on the proceedings, we really loved some of the creative ideas that you had. I would recommend you to anyone else that was looking for a photographer for their own special day.”
