SEALED WITH A PROMISE AND A RING

The fairytale pre-wedding session
Auckland, New Zealand & beyond

WHAT MAKES YOUR PRE-WEDDING SESSION SO SPECIAL?

Why, it’s you, of course. I firmly believe that everyone is different, your story is different to the next couple, so why should I treat every engagement session the same?

Not only is an engagement session the perfect way for us to get to know each other before your wedding day, we will also design the day how you’d normally organise a date — very you.

We make a day of it. I don’t believe in “just getting the photos over with,” we’re going to take our time. Whether we stick to the classic beach sunset, or we go bowling, or eat at your favourite restaurant, or go on a big hike, or even have a cosy night in at your place — sky’s the limit. There are no bad ideas.

★★★★★

“Even with the rain, she made the experience feel effortless and beautiful. Her photos feel like scenes from a film—candid, emotional, and full of story. She let us be ourselves, and it truly shows in every shot. So grateful to have had her capture such a special moment!”
— KAREN & JAY

QUESTIONS

  • A lot of my work is inspired by drama and cinematography. Apart from the way I shoot, my editing is also a crucial step in the process of storytelling and bringing out the emotion in every image. This is what makes my style ‘cinematic’.

  • Don’t worry, I am the exact same — and most people are on the same boat. That’s why I prioritise movement and candid moments to keep things natural and help you stay focused on your love for each other, opposed to giving you “traditional” poses. Just pretend I’m not there :)

  • Within 4 weeks, maybe sooner if outside wedding season (colder months).

  • YES absolutely. Fill out the form below or email me at hello@reinajille.com with your thoughts.

  • I personally don’t mind an overcast sky or even a light shower as they would make for some great moody photos, but if the weather’s taking a turn for the worse, we’ll reschedule and find another day that suits.

  • Please enquire through the form below, then we’ll hop on a quick call to make sure we’re a good fit. All going well, we’ll lock it all in with a paid deposit.

    Please note I don’t pencil-hold dates, I give priority to those who have gone through the booking process, so I recommend reaching out as soon as you can.
