Andrea Stephens is a wedding and portrait photographer based in Whakatane and Ohope, serving the Bay of Plenty and beyond. With a passion for capturing authentic moments and genuine connections, Andrea specializes in wedding photography while also offering family and maternity portrait sessions throughout the region.
As a wedding photographer, Andrea covers celebrations across the North Island, including Tauranga, Coromandel, Rotorua, and Gisborne, and is also available for destination weddings further afield. Her approach to wedding photography captures both the big moments and the intimate details that make each celebration unique. Andrea also specializes in engagement photography, helping couples document their journey from the proposal through to their wedding day.
Recognizing that couples today are embracing new ways of celebrating their love, Andrea has adapted her services to include elopement photography. Working collaboratively with other wedding vendors, she offers affordable elopement packages that allow couples to marry in gorgeous New Zealand locations with all the beautiful trimmings, whether with just the two of them or surrounded by a handful of their nearest and dearest. These intimate celebrations let couples enjoy what New Zealand’s stunning landscapes have to offer while creating meaningful memories.
Beyond weddings, Andrea’s portrait work encompasses family photography and maternity sessions. Her family portrait sessions capture the connections and dynamics that make each family unique, while her maternity photography celebrates the anticipation and beauty of expecting parents.
Andrea also offers commercial photography services, bringing the same attention to detail and creative vision to business and product photography that she applies to her wedding and portrait work.
For Bay of Plenty couples and families seeking a photographer who understands how to capture authentic moments with artistry and heart, Andrea Stephens Photography delivers professional services across weddings, portraits, and commercial needs.
