Accredited, Hawke's Bay Photographer Richard Wood
3 time awarded 'New Zealand Professional Photographer of the Year'
Hi and welcome
I'm Richard Wood. I'm a multi genre, Hawke's Bay photographer and I shoot weddings for the love of it. This is my 'Wedding Hub' Rabbit & Fox. Welcome!
" ... when the heavens opened up, Richard calmly embraced the situation. Being the talent he is, he was able to turn what could have been a disastrous situation into imagery more magic and incredible than we ever expected. It reinforced the importance of hiring a true experienced professional.
Thank you Richard."
Tarryn & Isaac
