Testimonials



Jan Maree was a delight to work with from the beginning.  We contacted her out of the Yellow Pages as she was the closest to our home and that was the best and luckiest decision we made.
We were impressed by her meticulous initial presentation and were immediately convinced that she was the right person for us.  She was professional, straight up, enthusiastic and exuded a warmth that immediately drew us to her.
On the wedding day, she arrived on time to catch all the precious moments that most people don’t bother with and her camera/s didn’t stop clicking (much to our dismay!).  She captured those moments without being intrusive which was really appreciated by us in the last minute panic of making it on time for the ceremony.  She lightened the mood by making us laugh and enjoy the day.
The highlight was when she climbed onto a high wall for a better angle to capture our families in one photo (you can’t fault her enthusiasm and we all had our hearts in our mouths in case she fell off the wall).
When she came over with the final photos, we were astonished at how fantastic they were (she managed to make us look really good!).  The quality of the photographs was superb and she managed to capture the spectacular views at the Kariotahi Beach in its entirety!
We couldn’t be happier with Jan Maree and would strongly recommend her to our families and friends.  She truly made our special day ‘extra special’! We will go back to these pictures often.
Thank You Jan Maree!  
Warmest Regards,

I was recommended to use Jan by a co-worker and once we had met with Jan and she showed us her work, we decided that we definitely wanted Jan to photograph our wedding. Jan was very easy to work with before, during and after our wedding. She had great idea's and knew exactly what looked good. On the day Jan was awesome! She started photographing in the morning and stayed well and truly into the night, we were very happy that she could stay and take so many photos for us. The finished product was amazing and everybody always asks who we got and say that she did a really great job. I would definitely recommend Jan to everyone, and will definitely use her again in the future.

We found Jan very relaxed and cruisy to work with. She came to meet me and show me some of her work before we agreed to have her on board.  Jan was so accommodating and so easy to be around, we all thought she was great. Friendly and unobtrusive, she just fitted in so well with us lot!  Stoked that we found her!!!!! Got some really cool pics, we are so very happy with her work.
Thanks Jan, you rock! You captured our day perfectly!

Jan was an absolute pleasure to work with; she captured a pictorial narration of the entire day, from getting ready, venue details, the bridal party and guests to the cutting of the cake. Jan was efficient and maintained a high level of professionalism, right through to the delivery of our photographs. Our guests felt comfortable with her unobtrusive manner and enjoyed her presence as much as we did. We will always treasure the memories Jan has preserved for us and our families.
We would definitely recommend Jan to anyone looking to use a photographer for their wedding or any other occasion as they will not be disappointed with Jan’s meticulous attention to detail and friendly manner. Coming from an artist’s perspective Jan has delivered a wonderful service and fabulous results capturing all the tiny details that as a bride and artist were important to me.
Thanks so much Jan, really appreciate your efforts to succeed beyond expectations, we wish you every success.
