Simone Jackson Photography

Hey I'm Simone Hey this is me, I've been a wedding photographer for over 20 years now and absolutely love it! I live with my hubby Gavin & our Collie Tess, on the Otago Peninsula about 20 minutes out of Dunedin. I thrive on every single wedding, as they are all so different and I love bringing something unique to each couple! Photographically, I'm currently 2025 New Zealand Wedding Photographer of the Year, and was listed as Top Ten Wedding Photographers in the Photographic World Cup 2024, super stoked about that! I've been privileged to run workshops on different photographic genres such as Nature, ICM, Portrait Photography, and regularly give talks around the regions of NZ. I'm an Accredited Wedding Photographer with NZIPP, (New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography), & also accredited in Fine Art Photography, and in 2023 gained my Grand Masters with NZIPP. I also regularly asked to judge photo award systems, such as the NZ Iris Awards, Asia Pacific Awards, as well as for Photographic clubs around NZ. I'm constantly embracing new techniques with my work as never want to remain static, and this show sin my rather eclectic website, certainly not a normal wedding photographers website! In my private life, my hubby and I also run a Commercial Window Cleaning business, (I used to be one of those window cleaners that dangled off ropes), and am an avid snowboarder in the off season! We are also have just built an Air BNB retreat Dunedin, specifically for brides getting ready, and graduation weekends! I simply love capturing people, in the most important times of their lives, and I can't wait to hear from you!
