Event Photography & Videography at Orakei Bay, Auckland

Orakei Bay has been one of Auckland's most loved waterside venues for over 40 years, set on the calm, sheltered waters of Orakei Basin just a few minutes' drive from the CBD. The venue combines a waterfront setting with garden and indoor spaces in one location, and its long-standing reputation for quality in-house catering and seamless event management has made it a consistent favourite. It suits weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties, brand launches, and private celebrations, with capacity for exclusive-use events and a team experienced in delivering across all of them. For event photography and videography in Auckland, Orakei Bay's waterfront and gardens create a natural, warm visual backdrop that feels genuinely distinct from the city venues nearby. The basin light at different times of day is particularly beautiful for both stills and film, and the combination of water, lawn, and interior gives photographers and event videographers several distinct environments to work across.
