10 REASONS TO CHOOSE ME AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
(besides the awesome wedding photos you get)
1. I work with people without any modelling experience.
Most of my clients come to the photo shoot for the first time. And for the vast majority of couples, a wedding photo shoot is basically the first photo shoot. And that’s okay! But if you’re worried that you’ll be too nervous, then I recommend coming to a pre-wedding love story to gain experience, get used to the camera, get to know each other better and feel as comfortable as possible on your wedding day.
2. I help with posing
During the staged part of the shoot, I always help with posing, tell you where to look and where to put your hands, and look for a form of explanation that is convenient for you. The rest of the time, I offer stories and situations so that you can move naturally and the photos come out alive. With me, you can relax and enjoy the shoot. Yes, and even the groom!
3. I help with the idea, locations and route
When we meet, you tell us about yourself, your interests, your wishes, show examples of shots that you like. And based on this, I offer you ideas for shooting and suitable locations for them, calculate the route and time for it.
4. I shoot in any conditions
I can find beautiful and interesting light even in bright sun, which most photographers don’t like. And in case of rain, I have transparent umbrellas — they look good in the frame, let the light through and you can rest easy. I also have my own professional light for shooting banquets and gatherings at the hotel.
5. Professional retouching and convenient deadlines
I always take into account your wishes regarding the degree of retouching: from minimal retouching to complete removal of imperfections. The price list specifies the minimum number of photos, but most often I try to give more — the brighter your emotions are, the more shots you will get in the end. You won’t have to wait half a year for wedding photos: the delivery times are as fast as possible for you and as comfortable as possible for me, so that there is no loss in the quality of processing and retouching.
6. Professional equipment and data storage
Two professional mirrorless cameras (main and spare), four lenses for any task, external flashes and lights, a supply of flash drives, batteries and accumulators — eliminate technical problems. All footage is recorded on two cards simultaneously during shooting, and then stored on two different external hard drives to avoid data loss.
7. Work under contract
The wedding date is booked by contract and after an advance payment of 20% of the package cost. This guarantees that all conditions will be met in full and within the specified time frame without delays.
8. Appropriate appearance
Understanding the solemnity of the event, I will not come to your wedding in jeans and a T-shirt. My uniform is a beige pantsuit, comfortable for work, but suitable for the event.
9. Design of finished photos
I give you the finished photos with a link to my own file sharing service in the form of a beautiful gallery, so that you can easily download all the shots and share them with your loved ones. Please see the example of the beautiful gallery you will get: nikaloran.com/disk/auckland-cbd-hilton
10. Recommendation of specialists
In the absence of an organizer, I can help with recommendations of proven specialists: makeup artists, hosts, pastry chefs, decorators, florists, videographers. I will tell you about the features of the sites where I worked, what you need to consider when organizing celebrations there. Or I will recommend organizers — they will save your time, nerves and budget and create the wedding of your dreams for you.
If You still have any questions, then feel free to write to me- I will tell you everything or we will set up a zoom meeting.

ABOUT NIKA LORAN
The most important are energy and volume of the image to make my clients happy
Elements of Art are the foundation building blocks for composition and how we choose to arrange elements in the frame. For me the most important are textures, shapes, contrast and forms. Principles of design are the general ideas about HOW you arrange the elements are balance, emphasis on eyes or hands. Mood is created by one of two things: lighting or subject. I like to use Da Vinci lightning what helps me to create photos, looks like a wall picture from the renaissance even the outfits are modern and my heroes are very impressive. My second favourite lightning is a glamour light, which hide all unperfected features from the face, like wrinkles, acne, etc and my models can look like a cover girls or presidents during their vote period. Mood and themes of my photography are respect, proud worthy and mystic.
Your trust is the most generous gift that you can give me during a photo shoot
CLIENT FEEDBACK
Don’t take my word for it — here’s what my clients say:
Maria Stepanova
Nika is an extremely easy person to work with! She combines a professionalism of an experienced photographer with a very fun and accommodating personality of a kind girl. I totally loved getting plenty of tips from her at each stage of our shoots: from choosing the outfits suggestions and help mood boards creating, to advices on the actual photo posing and facial expressions during the shoot. She also cares a lot about providing the right atmosphere for each shoot be this an adult model, a family or a pregnancy session. The communication after the shoot is also very efficient and the photos are delivered fast and in a convenient format.
Model Serenity
Nika Loran is a friendly, attractive Russian photographer who has enormous talent in photography. What surprised me was her unique creativity, which is utterly original, and I, as a model, have always been excited by her vivid imagination. One unforgettable episode was that she created a story according to the locations and my outfits, which was Kimono (Japanese traditional wear) under the Sakura trees in spring. She started directing me at the shooting sites. My transformation in her story was interestin; I changed from the vulnerable young girl to the dedicated strong woman in the photographs. My soul was released by her and it was obvious in my face and body expressions which were so dynamic. Nika revealed my true beauty inside out. That was pure joy and I felt as if I was enchanted by her magic. I believe that her photographs attract people around the world, regardless of age, nationality, and gender. I don’t need to tell how good she is, just looking at her beautiful photographs, will tell you all. She is one of the best photographers here in Auckland, New Zealand. I guarantee it.
Anita AE
I had a great experience working with Nika. She is very professional before and during the shoot. I was really amazed at her style of working and her ideas of the outfits and color combination. The whole planning process for the shoot was very professional. And during the shoot it was a friendly and professional atmosphere with her. And last but not the least really loved the outcome of the shoot. The pics where mind blowing and amazing. It was a great experience working with Nika. And looking forward to doing more projects with her in the future. And all the very best for her future endeavors.
