Good things happen to happy people
Do you want your Queenstown Wedding to be relaxed, natural and fun? Are you after wedding photos that are less forced and more “you”?
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is…
- Friendly
- Relaxed (but not in a “That’s his third beer and the ceremony hasn’t even started yet!!” way)
- Unintentionally funny - who knew that being a big dork could be a super-power?
- Super-duper organised and prepared but totally happy winging it on the day.
- The holder of the world speed record for family photos
- Happy to wade chest-deep into an ice-cold lake, climb a tree or snap a bride & groom pic with the wedding car doing a full smoke burn-out (that never happened by the way).
- Tall, bald and constantly hungry
Then we might just get along like a house on fire!

We had our pre-wedding photo shoot taken by Patrick. He was very engaging and helpful from start to finish, and we are... exceedingly happy with the beautiful photos taken. Coming from outside New Zealand, Patrick was very responsive in the planning stage, providing very detailed suggestions and itinerary. On the day we had to adapt to shooting location and route according to ever changing weather conditions, and we are amazed by the number of venues covered within a day, from Queenstown to Glenorchy to Wanaka to the beautiful night shoot under the stars. Patrick was very hands on throughout, on one occasion, to have the perfect shot, he didn’t mind getting his feet wet to go into the lake, to get the lake view photo taken. Patrick was also very efficient with post production and we got our photos within a week on Christmas Day. What an amazing Christmas present. We cannot recommend Patrick enough!read more

Patrick was amazing from start to finish. We needed a photographer at the last minute and it was so lucky he was... available on our special day, rescheduled day after postponing our original date due to bad weather as the helicopter could not fly.
He liaised with Heliworks on our behalf and we got all that we asked for, he was an absolute star.read more

Patrick is without a doubt the best engagement/wedding photographer in New Zealand. After searching for months to find... the right person to trust with our surprise engagement I connected with Patrick and couldn't have been happier. He not only made our special moment come together, but he was so great we flew him up to be our wedding photographer too! His passion for the craft and his attention to detail, along with a fierce energy to capture those magical moments makes him a dream to work with. Not to mention the quick turn around for our photos afterwards. Couldn't fault either of our experiences or recommend Patrick more!read more

Great photographer, easy to work with, professional but relaxed, great pre- and post- shoot communication, knows the... locations and best spots backwards ... we would recommend Patrick! He also doubles as a great kids' entertainer and can get smiles and laughs out of them at a pinch by using his patented "chicken dance" routine. Thanks Patrick for making what could have been a challenging "special day" a lot of fun... and of course for the wonderful photos!read more

Patrick is a legend. I arranged our wedding as a surprise for my long term fiance so I was out of my depth - I... immediately clicked with Patrick and he made the experience really fun, easy and was so helpful putting me at ease leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day we both felt so comfortable with him - it was like being with an old friend though we met him that day. He is relentless and goes the extra mile to make sure he gets all the best shots without any stress and the results have left us and those close to us so, so happy. Legend.read more

Patrick has been amazing! and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
From enquiries to booking, he has been excellent.... If you are not a local of Queenstown , no worries!!! Patrick's got you covered with photography locations. We were worried about the weather on the day, but Patrick went above and beyond capturing a photo of everything!!! With the clouds until the clear blue sky extending our booking with no fuss. We appreciate it a lot that even with cloudy morning we didn't felt pressured or rushed once when he was photographing. He is also easy to deal with and has a sense of humour that makes the whole experience fun. Thank you heaps Patrick!!! Happy with the photos!!!read more

A big thank you to Patrick from Fallon photography. Not only did we set Patrick the task of capturing our wedding day... we made it a little more interesting by having our 3 boys aged 5. 3 and 2 involved in the ceremony, and set him the ultimate challenge of the perfect family photo. Patrick definitely delivered! We are so happy with the pics, not only do we have beautiful photos of us as a couple but we also have some beautiful photos of the 5 of us, photos that we will treasure forever. Thanks for being so fantastic with our boys and providing us with so many beautiful photos that we absolutely love.read more

We were so pleased to have come across Fallon Photography in our search for a Wedding Photographer in Queenstown,... Patrick was really fantastic! As we were only having a very small intimate ceremony in the gardens we only required a short amount of time and wanted to keep our costs as low as possible. Patrick was really accommodating to our needs.
The whole process was very easy to organise and Patrick continued to keep in contact with us leading up to the date. On the day everything was casual and we all felt very comfortable and not too "Posed". It really made us laugh when Patrick got in the freezing cold lake just to get the perfect angle! But overall we are very pleased with the outcome of our photographs they are all absolutely gorgeous we can't even decide on a favourite.
Thank you Patrick for the amazing work you have done and creating some lasting memories for us to cherish forever!

My husband and I booked Fallon Photography for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more happier with the end result!... Patrick is a friendly charismatic professional who makes you feel at ease resulting in wonderful natural photography. This was no easy task as we had him on ski’s taking moving photos of my husband and I as we made our way down coronet peak mountain. Further to this, we managed to get ourselves caught up in a snowstorm, he didn’t complain once! With hands freezing and many shots to manoeuvre, Patrick took it in his stride and delivered amazing service and photos. Truly a tribute to his skill in the art of photography. Post the photo shoot he was very accommodating with any enquires made and helpful in assisting me with any challenges I was facing with technology (as technology and I are horrible working partners). Working with Patrick from start to finish was by far the greatest experience! I highly recommend his services 🙂read more

"Patrick is AMAZEBALLS!! And I am in love with our photos.
He was very professional yet fun, energetic and willing to go the extra mile or in our case a dip in the lake, to capture the perfect shot. He made us very relaxed and to be honest I was nervous about being centre of attention and Patrick made us feel like he was a friend from way back and having him for pre ceremony shots was a good idea to get to know each other a little better.
His communication since finding him on a google search has been outstanding considering we did most of our planning from Australia. We received so many compliments...
Huge THANK YOU to Patrick Fallon, for giving us an amazing, memorable post-wedding photo shoot. He is creative and kind and will do everything he can to customize the service for you. We are very happy that we asked him to take our photos. Shots turn out beautiful! All the best to you Patrick, we wish you the best and we hope that there will be more people who can experience fun, great photo shoots with you!
