Welcome


Hi, I'm Rainer! I photograph weddings throughout New Zealand - but particularly Tasman, Nelson & Wellington - for couples who want to remember how their wedding day felt. My natural, relaxed and fun style of photography helps you make the most of spending time with friends and family, while capturing a beautiful set of images showing the real moments and emotions from your day.


When it comes to my engagement photos and wedding day portraits, I combine a relaxed and fun approach with your chosen locations to create stunning natural portraits. There are no awkward poses or forced smiles in my portraits - in fact there's no posing at all. Instead, I direct you with some actions and fun prompts to create natural movement show how you feel about each other.


You can see more of my wedding work at www.macalister.nz, or read on to find out more about this giveaway.

Why the giveaway?

I love engagement photo shoots! I've been running these free engagement shoot promotions over the last nine years, and they're my absolute favourite way of meeting new couples.


The successful couples get heaps out of them too. For some it's a chance to create images to decorate their home, or for their save-the-dates or wedding website. For others it's an opportunity to practice being photographed. And for some it has given them the chance to meet and experience working with a potential photographer - many of these have ended up choosing me as their wedding photographer.


While I am based in Wellington and work around New Zealand, Nelson-Tasman is my second home, my hometown, and the region I travel to most often. I will next be there from 6 - 20 July, so I'm taking the opportunity to connect with three new couples in the area.

What's included?


The engagement shoot experience is valued at $190, and includes a one-hour photo shoot, a gallery of edited proofs for you to select what you would like to order, and a $90 credit towards your order.
