Justin Aitken Photographer

Our Wedding was a low key, no fuss, small family event (16 people) so we were not going to have a photographer. Well, I am super happy we changed that idea! Justin took onboard the details I provided and he went about his business in a fun, professional manner to capture our Wedding Day memories. Wonderful energy, that helped all of us relax (even those who are not photogenic normally). Loved having Justin there on the day and loved the photos. Definitely recommend.

Justin was our wedding photographer in June 2021. And we were blown away with our photos. Looking back at our photos, it feels like we are reliving our day all over again. Justin was so knowledgeable, great communication and made me and my husband feel at ease on the day. We didn't have to say much because Justin just knew what we wanted - which put our minds at ease and we could just concentrate on us. Thank you so much Justin for being the BEST photographer EVER. We can't wait to see you in action again as guests, at our friends wedding in 2022.

Justin did such a wonderful job of photographing our little wedding. We only had 9 guests and he did such a great job of taking photos in an unobtrusive way. We're blown away by our beautiful photos, we can't recommend him enough

We would recommend Justin every time. From the first skype chat we had with Justin, over a year in advance, we knew we wanted him involved with our wedding. On the big day he was extremely easy going which was fantastic energy to be around when our nerves were at their highest. When the weather didn't cooperate Justin took the lead and knew exactly what to do and reassured us that the weather was a blessing in disguise. Justin was great in making us feel casual in front of the camera and captured the laughs we shared, usually at his jokes or the photo bombing seagulls. All our guests raved about how fun, professional and discreet he was. We are extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and get many compliments on the creative style. Do yourself a favor and book Justin.

Justin was the photographer for our wedding in January of 2021. He is an excellent photographer. All our guests commented on how lovely he was during the day and have also commented on how good his subsequent photos are. As a very organised person I was appreciative of Justin's communication and responses to my many questions. He was open to being flexible with my requests and changes which in the end meant we kept booking more and more time for our wedding day. As a couple we normally feel awkward taking photos, however Justin made us feel at ease. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing a skilled and personable professional who gets the best out of his subjects.

Justin photographed our wedding in December, and we couldn't be happier with the amazing service he provided. Justin was heaps of fun and a pleasure to have around, and he fitted in on the day so easily. We are in love with the photos he has taken for us - his style is the best and we are so pleased Justin was able to photograph our big day. His fast and friendly communication made everything so easy and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Justin to anyone. Thank you so much - you're a legend!

I've worked with Justin in the past, so he was the first person who came to mind for our wedding. He was incredibly professional and we had so many comments from our guests that he was lovely and had a knack of getting the kids to smile. We even made him hike up a hill to capture shots with a view and had zero complaints:) When our photos came back we were blown away by what Justin managed to capture.all the bits we missed and he must have been running to get all the angles of every shot. Super talented in his approach and the right balance of portraits and artsy shots. The photos are perfection. Thank you so much, Justin! Would recommend you to absolutely anyone and everyone.

Justin is a wonderful photographer and person. We had a short deadline which was very well accommodated by Justin.
Justin also took in our request for a short video, which was a first for him but the product came out spectacular. Looking forward doing business with him soon again.:)

Justin recently took some family photos for us. He's a genuine lovely person and made us laugh during the shoot. Justin was very accommodating to our needs and put my Dad at ease, even though he hates having his photo taken. The photos are beautiful, Justin captured us perfectly, we are absolutely stoked with the results. We will definitely use Justin again if we need more photos taken in the future.

Big Justin Fan!

I have had two sessions with Justin getting large family group photographs completed.

He has a relaxed and laid back attitude which puts reluctant family members at ease. He connects well with the kids getting awesome smiles. He seems so calm but when you get the photos back you see he has captured everything.

Technically his photos are perfect, artistically his photos are incredible. His processing time to get edited photos back to you is fantastic.

I would totally recommend Justin as a photographer. My only regret is that I did not know about him when I got married because his wedding photography is next level.

Thanks Justin and we'll see you again in a couple of years to get the family photos updated.

Can't speak highly enough of Justin - his work, professionalism and helpful / friendly nature are outstanding. He was always there whenever you needed him, got all of the important shots and his work is of the highest quality. Would recommend to all. Thanks Justin!

Met Justin for a photo session, great guy, great photos, easy to deal with and above all he is a great family man. Winning the BoP Wedding Photographer of the year is just a example of how good he is. Well done Justin!

Cannot recommend Justin enough! He was such a great person to have around on our wedding day - he didn't just take some stunning photos but also made sure we were on track to get everywhere on time. We had a logistically challenging day but Justin managed to keep everything on track while also capturing so many great moments as well.

Justin is an AMAZING photographer. He shot our engagement and wedding, capturing our special memories in the most stunning way. He was flexible with our venue which was not 'the norm' but he easily found sweet little spots and listened to any requests we had. He also helped to create a fair few laughs on the day which always helps with any nerves! We loved our sneak peak photos a couple of days after the wedding and the video steam of photos that told the story of our perfect day. We can't wait to see the rest! A & R

Where do I even start? Justin is one of the most outstanding photographers I have ever met. While looking for a photographer online for an couples photo shoot on our vacation to New Zealand, I stumbled across his page and fell in love with his work. I feel immensely lucky to have worked with such talent. Justin captures raw emotion and beautiful scenery in ALL of his images; and you can tell he loves what he does!

Justin is extremely personable and has an eye for creativity. He gave just enough guidance for "posing" so we looked natural. My husband and I felt relaxed during the shoot, which helped our photos turn out incredible!

Hands down, I would recommend Justin Aitken for any New Zealand photo shoot needs. His imaginative talent allowed my husband and I to have breathtaking photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Justin is a wonderful Photographer. We completely forgot that he is here and you can be normal during the shooting and the result with the pictures are just AMAZING. The light, the moment, the location where we took the picture are perfect. Justin know exactly where and when do the perfect pictures. We hope see you again. Take care.

Justin is a super cool dude and an awesome photographer. His photos of our wedding were amazing and he is just an all round good guy. I would absolutely recommend him as a photographer.

I knew as soon as i saw Justin's work he was the person i wanted to photograph our Wedding and he did not disappoint. Justin made the whole process of booking and planning extremely easy, was amazing to have around on the day and our photos were absolutely stunning. We were so impressed and would highly recommend Justin to everyone.
