Hi, I'm Zanthe
I wanted to share a little glimpse into the people who mean the most to me — the ones who shape who I am, both in life and behind the camera.
My husband has been my other half since I was 16, and after 17 years together, he’s still my greatest support and the person who reminds me what real love looks like every day. And then there’s our beautiful little girl, Azalea, who has completely changed our world in the best possible way.
You won’t find many photos of just me — I’m usually the one behind the camera — so sharing these moments with my family felt like the most honest way to introduce myself.
And honestly? I absolutely love my job.

About Me...
I’m South African born and raised bilingual in Afrikaans and English. I’m usually the person in the room with the biggest smile — especially when I’m behind the camera capturing your story in a way that feels natural, effortless, and unobtrusive. For me, photography is about preserving real connection and honest emotion, without ever feeling forced or staged.
I’m drawn to storytelling in all forms — whether that’s watching documentaries, especially true crime and investigative series, or exploring the unknown through travel. Outside of photography, I love discovering new places across New Zealand. We’ve explored most of the North Island, from Cape Reinga down to Wellington, but there are still so many hidden spots on our list — and the South Island is next.
I started photography in 2018 as a creative hobby while adjusting to life in New Zealand. What began as something personal quickly grew into a passion for capturing real moments and telling authentic stories. As I shared my work, people connected with it and began booking sessions — and that’s how this journey slowly became my career.
When I photograph people, my goal is to create a timeless story that reflects exactly how it felt to be there. I want you to look back in 10 years and not only remember how your day looked, but how it felt — the emotion, the connection, and the moments you didn’t even realise were happening. That’s what I care about most: creating honest, meaningful imagery that stands the test of time and brings you right back to that moment every time you look at it.

Travel & Destination Photography
Although I’m based in Auckland, my work isn’t limited by location.
I photograph weddings, proposals, and couples across New Zealand — and I’m always open to travelling anywhere in the world for love stories that take me further.
Whether it’s a mountaintop, a city full of lights, a quiet coastal escape, or somewhere completely unexpected, I believe your story should be captured in a place that feels meaningful to you.
If your vision takes you overseas, I’m always open to an adventure.
