WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Dreamy Wedding Photo & Films for modern couples
Welcome to Cushla Marie Photography. Creative Wedding Photography and Videography for adventurous couples in love. My aim is to capture real moments and create photographs with feeling. I absolutely love weddings and working with fun couples to tell their unique story.
Style-wise, my photography reflects my design background, with clean compositions, symmetry and a fashion/editorial edge. While most of my time is focused on moments and emotions, I also love the details of a wedding, capturing tablescapes, beautiful flat-lays, bouquets & decor.
THE FOUNDER
Hi! I'm Cushla, founder of Cushla Marie Photography. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet!
With a background in Graphic Design and a passion for photography, the wedding industry's been an amazing way to combine these skills with my love of connecting with people. I absolutely adore weddings of all shapes and sizes. Helping my couples to plan their wedding day, and then documenting it for them through photography is a real privilege and absolute dream career.
My priority on a wedding day is making sure you both enjoy yourselves! If you're worried about posing and feeling awkward in front of the camera, I'm here to put your mind at ease. I give my couples as much direction as they need but try to keep my work natural and authentic to you as a couple. I'll spend the day making sure your champagne is topped up, everyone's calm & happy, and you're not spending too much time away from the party - whilst getting some amazing photos you'll cherish forever!
I'm full of great wedding tips & tricks, so feel free to send me a message, I'd love to hear from you x
CONNECTION | ADVENTURE | NOSTALGIA
I photograph a range of classic and alternative weddings, all with two things in common - love and adventure! All my couples are crazy for each other and I love finding new and interesting ways to show their connection in my photographs. I’m always up for an adventure and photograph weddings
in any location - beaches, woodlands or concrete jungles - I’m your girl!
I’m lucky enough to live out this dream job of mine in New Zealand, the UK, Europe and beyond! Here are some of my favourites - click on the images to see the full gallery.
