Wedding Vendor Reviews

BY Tim and Nadine

We are Tim and Nadine, wedding photographers based in Wellington, NZ. We have photographed countless weddings around NZ and the world so we understand first hand what makes a wedding vendor amazing, and what makes for a great guest experience at a wedding.

We are also aware that it can be incredibly overwhelming planning your wedding. Researching wedding venues, wedding caterers, wedding dresses, wedding accommodation, wedding photographers, wedding videographers, and marquee and furniture hire is a lot. It can be near impossible to understand what the experience is really like with each of these vendors, whether the wedding vendor is good at what they do, and most importantly, how much the wedding vendor actually costs (because we all know that the wedding budget is key).

So we decided to consolidate all of our wedding experience and wedding photography into informative wedding vendor reviews in the hopes that this makes planning your wedding a little bit easier for you.

We are constantly working on creating new wedding vendor reviews so if you have any questions or would like to see a particular wedding vendor reviewed by us, just let us know by contacting us on hello@timandnadine.com, we would love to hear from you

All photos in the reviews are taken at real weddings by Tim and Nadine Photography
