"Hey! I'm DILLON, a New Zealand wedding photographer based in the Manawatu. Thanks for stopping by"

Dillon Ahern, D.A Photography

I'm a wedding photographer based in the Manawatu. I love weddings and I am passionate about creating memories that you can relive over & over again. I look for raw emotion and authentic moments. I want to document your day and tell your story.

I shot my first wedding at the end of 2017 and as nerve wracking as it was, I loved it! Since then I have photographed 50+ weddings, sneaking away in the offseason for some landscape goodness. In July 2022, I decided I would become a full-time wedding photographer as this is what I am truly passionate about. The satisfaction I get from being able to create life long memories for my couples is what keeps me motivated and keeps my passion alive!

Are you ready?...Let me tell your love story!

    “My partner and I are quite shy in front of the cameras, but Dillon and the team truely made it a comfortable experience, to the point where we felt we were alone and could be ourselves. Dillon also gave us some prompts and utilised my veil and little details throughout the day which gave us epic shots! We received our sneak peak photos within 48 hours and my partner & I are in love with them! To the point that we had tears in our eyes, it truely was more than we could ever ask for! Dillon really caught all the raw and perfect moments and looking back on them truely makes us think we are reliving the day again! We could not recommend Dillon enough”
