Shine Bright In Every Shot

Ruth is such an incredible photographer. She has this beautiful way of putting you at ease and slots in so well as part of the team – she honestly felt like she attended my wedding as a friend who happened to take a lot of photos. It was so cool. And the photos!! Breathtaking. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough, from the pre-wedding support (because I’d never organised a wedding before!) to the album-deciding process, so amazing. You can’t go wrong with Ruth.

Hi, I’m Ruth Gilmour – Waikato & Bay of Plenty Photographer

From candid smiles to intimate glances, trust me to be your hype girl, capturing every moment with energy and empathy.

I understand the whirlwind of emotions and decisions you have to make when capturing life’s significant moments.

I bring not just my camera but the right energy, ready with posing tips, reassurance, and even a coffee (or cocktail!) to ease those preshoot nerves

With years of experience and a portfolio filled with precious, timeless images, I offer my camera and expertise to guide you. And on the day, I’ll be more than just a photographer; I’ll be a friend you’ll hardly notice, blending seamlessly into the background to capture your moments organically.
