I would like to say a big thank you to Ruchi and DJ. I highly recommend this Wellington photographer, as they just make it feel like your best friends are capturing moments for your big day. Initially, there was a mess in our plan, like our booking being cancelled in the hotel, but trust me, they are not just concentrating on photos; they just solve your problems and boost your mood to take exactly happy pictures. Honestly, she never forced us to give any fake laughs; she created joy in every moment. Also, they are so professional and well-organised. We had a meeting before the event, and she noted each and everything, and I canโ€™t explain how much we enjoyed my bachelorette; Ruchi and her team made our day.

I was really impressed while she took a sheet on my bachelorette in which she wrote all the scenarios, making sure everything was covered. Ruchika Jain Photography and her team just mingled with each and every girl to make them comfortable, and they are flexible to come to all the locations. To put it in a nutshell: they are so jovial and capture all your happy moments without fail.

Ruchika and her husband provided outstanding photography services for our wedding. They captured a multitude of stunning shots that truly exceeded our expectations. During the group photo sessions, they made us feel at ease and even managed to get us to laugh, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Our wedding took place outdoors at the Wellington Botanic Gardens, and we were thrilled that Ruchika and DJ joined us for a 15-minute walk from Remembrance Ridge, where the ceremony was held, to the Begonia House for the reception, capturing beautiful shots of my wife and I along the way. They also took advantage of the stunning rose gardens to take some remarkable photos of us before we headed into the reception.

We were especially pleased with the photographs of our guests, which highlighted the significance of the event for our families. The final product was breathtaking, with all photos displaying a high level of professionalism and creativity. Overall, Ruchika’s service was exceptional, and we can’t thank her enough. Thank you, Ruchika, for helping to make our wedding day so special!

OMG, they are amazing. We were afraid to stay in front of cameras with strange people, but they really made us feel comfortable during the shoot. Our baby settled super well, and we enjoyed the whole time. By the end of the shoot, we went back home with a really happy feeling, wondering why we hadn’t done it before. When it was time to check the photos, they were super accommodating with the timing, and seeing the photos was a wonderful moment. I highly recommend their photography service in Wellington; they are SO AWESOME! If you’re looking for a photographer in Wellington, Ruchika Jain Photography is the best. Thank you so much!
