FAQ
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, absolutely. You don’t need to pay a big booking fee — you can simply start your payments from the day you book, right up until one week before your wedding.
For example — if you booked the 6 Hour Storytelling Package ($4,000) around ten months before your wedding (about 40 weeks away), your plan could look like this:
No upfront booking fee required
40 weekly payments of $100
Final payment due one week before your wedding
You’re welcome to pay it off faster or make lump-sum payments whenever you like — it’s completely flexible around what works best for you.
Do you help build a timeline?
Absolutely — it’s actually something I’m well known for. Not every couple hires a wedding planner, and that’s where I come in handy. After photographing so many weddings, I know what works time-wise to keep the day flowing easily and stress-free. We’ll build a timeline together that feels relaxed and realistic — no rushing, no guesswork.
Can we choose how to spend the time we've booked with you?
Oh, absolutely! Every wedding is unique, and nothing’s set in stone. You’re free to use your booked hours in whatever way best reflects the story you want told — from getting ready right through to the dance floor. I’ll help you plan it so we make the most of every minute.
Do you attend the rehearsal?
If you’d like me to, yes! It’s not essential, but it can really help the day flow smoothly — especially if there are tricky locations, lots of family, or you’re feeling a bit nervous. It’s a great chance to walk through the timing and get comfortable before the big day.
When will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive your full online gallery within 4–6 weeks. I always send a small sneak peek within a few days, so you’ve got something beautiful to share straight away.
Why should we choose you?
I’d never want anyone to choose me just for the sake of it — the right photographer should simply feel right.
If you’re drawn to my work — the true-to-life colours, fresh greens, and natural skin tones — that’s a good sign. Choose me if you want someone calm and steady, who can gently lead you through the day while keeping things relaxed. I’m often told I feel more like a wedding planner than just a photographer because I naturally step in to help when things feel uncertain. My emails are always open if you need guidance or a hand planning how things should roll.
I like to think of myself as a bit of a chameleon — I shift into the vibe of your day. I can be the calm presence in quiet moments, or the hype woman when the energy lifts. I’ll read the room, lead when needed, and document everything in a way that feels true to you.
Testimonials
PJ was the best photographer in Hawke’s Bay. I couldn’t have chosen anyone more fitting for our wedding day. She captured every magical moment perfectly, calmed my nerves, and made me feel so relaxed. Our wedding pictures say it all — she truly is incredible. PJ will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I couldn’t be happier with PJ’s photos capturing our wedding. From the very beginning she was gentle, professional, and completely focused. She never felt pushy, but guided us in a way that brought our dreams to life. PJ has such a deep soul, and she knows how to show this in her images. Arohanui, PJ — thank you.

My husband, children, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with Parehuia as our wedding photographer. She captured our love story so beautifully that looking through the photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Our children still smile every time they see themselves in the images. Parehuia went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed. She is not only talented but genuinely passionate about her craft. We are so thankful for her hard work and dedication in making our wedding day unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!
