MEET AINS
KIA ORA!
I'm Ains, a New Zealand based Wedding & Portrait Photographer.
So stoked you jumped on here to learn a bit more about me!
I am a 29 year old Australian based in the beautiful north island of New Zealand.
Growing up on the South Coast of NSW, Australia, we spent our weekends adventuring and exploring the beautiful pacific coastline.
Nowadays, my bestie/partner Wilson and I decided that we would venture to his birth place in the heart of the Waikato region, to call it home. I absolutely love our new chapter of life here in New Zealand. Theres so many beautiful places to see!
I have had a passion for photography since school and dove head first into learning my craft and running my own photography business for the last 8 years. I’m passionate about photographing people, there is something about the connection between humans that is just so incredibly beautiful to photograph.
