Christchurch Wedding Photographer
Capturing moments,
creating memories
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and I’m here to help you remember it exactly as it felt. At Belen Rada Photography, my goal is to create a seamless and supportive experience from start to finish—so you can be fully present while I document the moments that matter most.
Rather than focusing on stiff poses or overly staged scenes, I take a natural, relaxed approach—capturing the quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the teary hugs, and everything in between. These are the real moments that tell your love story, and they’re the ones you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Whether you're planning a romantic elopement, an intimate gathering with close friends and family, or a joyful celebration in Christchurch, I’ll be there to photograph each chapter of your day with care and intention.
My work covers elopements, destination weddings, family portraits, and so much more. I tailor each session to reflect the personality and dynamics of the people I’m photographing. You won’t just receive beautiful images—you’ll receive a collection of memories that feel personal, genuine, and timeless.
If you’re looking for a photographer who’s calm, easygoing, and focused on capturing the essence of your connection, I’d love to hear more about your day.
New Zealand based, available worldwide!
Hey! I’m Belen — your go-to Christchurch wedding photographer, here to capture the big, emotional moments and the little bits of beautiful chaos you’ll actually want to remember.
My style is a mix of hands-on guidance and natural storytelling. I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera while focusing on the genuine emotions, laughter, and in-between moments that make your day truly yours. No stiff poses, no awkward situations — just you, enjoying your special day while I take care of the rest.
I’m all about embracing the unexpected — muddy shoes, windswept hair, spontaneous dance-offs — because those are often the memories that end up meaning the most.
At the heart of what I do is a passion for telling love stories through my lens. Every couple has a unique journey, and my goal is to transform those fleeting moments into timeless images you’ll treasure forever. Whether it’s the quiet nerves before the ceremony, the joy of your vows, or the wild energy on the dance floor, I’m there to capture it all.
So if you’re ready to celebrate, get a little messy, and make unforgettable memories together, I’d love to be part of your story.
