We can't recommend crystal highly enough!

she went above and beyond for us on our wedding day.

As a couple who have no idea how to pose ,she made us feel very comfortable and got some incredible shots.

we have multiple images printed out and hung on our walls at home.

whenever someone asks for recommendations she is always our first thought.

Thanks so much crystal!

you'll be our first call when we need photos taken.

Crystal is my go to photographer for anything.

from lifestyle to family shoots and most recently our elopement.

I trust crystal with her expert eye for detail, her willingness to go above and beyond for the perfect shot

her professionalism including been on time, note taking our vision, having great communication planning the site before hand

and her cultural responsiveness in particular situations.


she knows which angles and times to click (especially when my husband isn't photogenic)

she captures quality candid moments that turn out to be the best images.


The hardest decision i've had working with lioness photography is choosing the photos to post and in what order

or which ones to frame because there are so many favourites.

We had the pleasure of crystal photograph our wedding.

from beginning to end crystal was dedicated to producing the most incredible memories for us,

and doing so within our budget.

she did not hesitate when we asked her to travel from wellington to hawkes bay for our special day.

crystal was open to suggestions from us but also came with many ideas of her own.

we had access to our gallery in a timely manner and had plenty of photos to help us reminsce.

we are so grateful to crystal for capturing our day so beautifully.
