The Sparkes Photography Co

About us

Welcome to the world of Jenna and Reece, the dynamic duo behind TSPC, a passion project that bloomed into a beautiful journey capturing the love stories of couples just like you. We're a husband and wife team, sharing our love for photography and videography with the world, and we're thrilled to introduce ourselves.

Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began a few years ago when we had the privilege of documenting a friend's wedding in the picturesque town of Akaroa. Little did we know that this experience would set the stage for a life-changing adventure. The joy and connection we felt while capturing those special moments were truly magical, and we knew we wanted to create more of these memories.

At the Sparkes Photography co, we believe that every couple's heartwarming romance deserves to be told in a way that is as unique and beautiful as the love you share. That's why we put a strong emphasis on getting to know our couples on a personal level. We cherish the moments spent hearing your stories, laughing together, and sharing in your excitement as your wedding day approaches. Building a genuine connection with you is at the heart of what we do because it allows us to capture the most authentic and intimate moments of your love story.

One of our favorite ways to personalize your wedding experience is through our special questionnaire. We believe that the soundtrack to your wedding day should be a reflection of your unique journey. So, we ask you to share your favorite songs with us, and we use these melodies to set the perfect tone throughout the day. The result? A wedding film and photo collection that is as unique as your romantic tale.

But our commitment to you goes beyond just the camera. We're here to support you throughout your entire wedding planning journey. Whether you have questions, need help finding the perfect first look location, want assistance with timeline planning, or simply need a calming presence on the big day, we're here for you. From pouring bubbles for your guests to fluffing your dress and even finding that elusive family member for group photos, we've got it all covered.

We're also avid travelers, and we have a soft spot for couples who choose to exchange their vows amidst stunning landscapes. Whether it's a cozy elopement in a secluded forest or a grand destination wedding overlooking a breathtaking sunset, we are always open to international travel to be a part of your love story.

Our aesthetic is a blend of soft, dreamy, and romantic visuals infused with a touch of fun. We're not just photographers and videographers; we're storytellers who strive to capture the essence of your love in every frame. Your story is unique, and we can't wait to be a part of it.

Thank you for considering us to be a part of your special day. We can't wait to meet you, get to know your story, and create timeless memories that you'll cherish forever.

With love and excitement,

Jenna + Reece

Greetings! I'm Jenna, and my love affair with photography is rooted in a profound desire to explore the world and capture its inherent beauty. When I hold a camera in my hands, I find myself in a magical realm where I can freeze a scene, encapsulate a moment, or convey a distinct vibe to unlock the full aesthetic potential of a photograph.

My photographic journey began as a humble curiosity, a simple click of the shutter that spiraled into an enduring passion. Little did I know that this fascination would lead me down an extraordinary path, allowing me to share my boundless enthusiasm for photography with others. Over the years, I've committed myself to honing my skills, striving for excellence, and delivering nothing but the best for my clients.

Through the lens, I've had the privilege of witnessing the world's wonders, both grand and subtle. Whether it's the majestic landscapes of distant lands or the intimate emotions shared between loved ones, I am perpetually captivated by the myriad of stories that unfold before me. Each click is an opportunity to encapsulate the essence of a moment, and I cherish the responsibility of preserving these memories for generations to come.

My goal is not just to take pictures but to craft visual narratives that resonate with authenticity and emotion. I believe that every image has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to uncovering and sharing those stories through my work. Whether you're seeking a breathtaking landscape shot, a candid family portrait, or a captivating event capture, I'm here to ensure that your vision is transformed into timeless art.

Photography, for me, is a never-ending journey of exploration, growth, and connection. It's about celebrating life, love, and the sheer beauty of our world. I'm thrilled to have you join me on this incredible adventure, where we'll capture the magic of life, one click at a time.

Thank you for considering me as your photographer. I look forward to the opportunity to create beautiful memories together.

videography

If you asked 10-year-old Reece what he wanted to be when he grew up, he would have told you he wanted to direct movies. The inner makings and intricate details that go into creating an incredible film have always fascinated me.

What started as a hobby filmmaker eventually transformed into my lifelong passion and profession. Today, I am delighted to introduce myself as your dedicated wedding videographer.

I find immense joy in sharing life's most significant moments and capturing the raw emotions that come with them. There's something truly magical about weddings - the love, the laughter, the tears of joy - all woven together into a beautiful tapestry of memories.

Working with couples as they embark on this incredible journey of love and commitment has been the most rewarding role I've ever experienced. It's an honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of immortalizing these cherished moments for generations to come.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling, I strive to create wedding films that not only document the day but also encapsulate the essence of your unique love story. Every couple has a distinct narrative, and my goal is to bring that narrative to life on screen, so you can relive those precious moments again and again.

I am not just a videographer; I am a storyteller, a memory-maker, and a witness to the beauty of love. I am committed to crafting films that will transport you back to your wedding day, allowing you to feel the same emotions you felt then.
