Simone Barr is an award-winning wedding and elopement photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand, with fifteen years of professional experience behind the lens. She describes her role as celebrating and documenting life, capturing the moments that matter most to her clients, whether that is a wedding day, a family afternoon at home, a beach walk, or a professional story told through images. Her services extend across weddings, families, couples, portraits, commercial work, and pet photography.
Simone’s approach is relaxed, unobtrusive, and fun, while always remaining crafted and stylish. She works both independently and in contract roles and has also taught photography professionally. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that memories are built around special moments, and she considers it an honour to be trusted to capture them. She uses professional-level equipment across all assignments, regardless of the scale of the job.
Simone is available for commissions across New Zealand and travels for both weddings and elopements. Her work focuses on creating timeless, heartfelt images that feel honest and personal, a visual keepsake of whatever it is her clients love most in life.
