Romea Wharehoka
Mother. Wife. Photographer
My photography journey started by second shooting with my mum at a few weddings-about 10 years ago. Since then, I have been doing a mix of family, newborn and weddings. My photography style is Candid, natural, romantic & warm. I place huge importance on being able to make my clients feel comfortable and relaxed.
My favorite thing about photography is capturing emotion and the feeling. Getting to know my clients and building a friendship with them is definitely a highlight of my job. From throwing around ideas, creating a plan and then photographing you is such a privilege.
Some more stuff about me
My two cheeky boys Ezra and Kairo are my motivation for everything that i do. They are polar opposites in personality but so much fun. Ezra is a absolute softy with the biggest heart (and eyes) Kairo is dynamite, Insanely determined and the best little brother.
I HATED school. So much that i dropped out at 16 and went straight into a part time barista job. I never once thought about taking up photography as a actual job until about 5 years ago- after i had my first son.
Music consumes 85% of my day.I cannot focus on what i’m doing if i dont have music on. Whether its pop, rock, rap, rnb i am into it.
Meet my second shooter…
Now, let me introduce you to my partner in crime, my husband Mathias. Besides being my husband, he's also my trusty second shooter. We make a dream team, always pushing each other to explore new perspectives and embrace creativity. Together, we share a deep passion for storytelling through images, and our different viewpoints add a unique touch to our work.
Together we will help pose you by showing you how to do it ourselves, we tell funny jokes and we know what it’s like to be in front of the lens so we will help make the process as relaxed and as fun as possible.
