About Me

Say Hello

Hi I'm Celia I'm a passionate wedding photographer. I can't wait to chat to you about your wedding, an expression of your love story.

I'm all about getting to know you beforehand and creating beautiful, unposed, fun images for you and your favourite people to look back on.

I love telling the story of your unique love. Creating beautiful images that reflect who you are and that take you right back to all the feels, love, laughter and special people of your big day.

I'm also more than your photographer. I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 so I know lots about what can happen on a wedding day. With all that experience, I offer you lots of wedding planning help beforehand and ideas on the timing of your wedding day, if you want it.

On the wedding day I've got your back as unofficial time keeper, dress fluffer, nerve soother, group organiser and glass refiller. All the while capturing all those precious moments as they unfold as well as all your special people.

If, on the other hand, you want me to blend into the background to capture magic moments, that's what I do. I take my cue from you and how you like to be.

And if (like many) you hate having your photo taken? I hear ya! I help you melt into the moment to look natural, gorgeous and relaxed.

Your photos outlast all the other parts of your special day and it's my passion to create exactly the photography you want, in the style and way that suits you.

Lovely things couples I've worked with say

Lindsay & Tom

Celia is amazing! She spent the entire day with us at our wedding at our family vineyard in Bannockburn! She took the most incredible photos of us including the getting ready, helicopter photos at the top of Coromandel peak, the ceremony, reception and dancing, and even group and individual photos. The photos turned out so amazing and I'm still blown away at how well she captured our day. We can't wait to have printed photos in our home to relive the best day over and over again. We cannot thank Celia enough! She's so professional, fun and very personable. Would recommend her in a heart beat to everyone! Thanks again Celia!

Aimee & Brent

You were amazing. Thanks so much for being part of our day. You gave us so much more than we expected, so much help with the time planning that we didn't know we needed. And so much help on the day that we didn't expect. It's been awesome working with you".

Joel & Jess

"Celia did so much more than just photography for our wedding! She made up a timetable for the day of what would be happening when and advised on the best position for the ceremony/photos. On the day, she was a brilliant timekeeper and essentially kept our whole day on track - definitely above and beyond anything we expected of a photographer".
Thanks so much, Celia!"

Sara & Liam

"It is hard to put into a few words just how easy, professional and seamless it was to work with Celia for our wedding photography! The quality of commitment from the first meeting we had with Celia through to the wedding day and then receiving the photos went above and beyond all our expectations."

Liam & Sara

"We received tons of feedback from guests at our wedding saying just how amazing and special it was to have Celia taking our photos and we couldn't agree more. The care she has put into capturing all of our guests on our special day is pretty remarkable. We would without hesitation recommend Stagebox Photography Wellington to anyone looking for a photographer!"

Sam & Matt

"I cannot recommend Celia enough. She was so professional and lovely and was a fantastic addition to our big day. Really can’t thank her enough ❤️"

Tyler & Levi

Tessa & Connor

"Celia was suggested to us by multiple wedding vendors due to her great expertise. We felt totally comfortable with Celia, and she did an excellent job at keeping us on time throughout the day. The photos are beautiful, and excellent communication throughout the wedding planning".

Amy & Jamie

"Celia is amazing and my husband, whanau and I highly recommend her! Professional and creative from the very beginning she made time to get to know us and our love story and she captured it completely.
She was patient and versatile and so helpful across all parts of our day from getting ready to the final ride down the gondola at the end.
We are so happy with our photos and can not thank Celia enough and would definitely use her again".

Michelle & Jason

"Celia has a wealth of experience, a real eye for details that at the time you don't realise will have such an impact until you receive her beautiful photos. They are just stunning and we are proud to share them with everyone - and to have them with us for the rest of our lives.

Choosing Celia to capture your special day will be one of the best decisions you make on your wedding journey".
