Filipino wedding photographer in Auckland
The cord, the veil, the candles, the arrhae, the ninongs and ninangs, and a kasal reception that turns into a family reunion — photographed and filmed by a Filipino-owned Auckland studio that grew up with these traditions.
Check your datesSuperGibo is a Filipino-owned Auckland studio photographing and filming Filipino weddings — the candle, cord and veil, the arrhae, the principal and secondary sponsors, and the money dance. We run large entourage photo lists briskly, cover full Catholic masses, and livestream for family watching in the Philippines.
We don’t just know the
traditions — we grew up with them
SuperGibo is a Filipino-owned studio. When the ninang adjusts the veil over your shoulders, we already know that moment is coming and we are already in position. When the coins pass from your hands to your partner’s, we know both of your mothers are watching, and one camera is on the coins while another is on their faces.
A Filipino wedding runs on its sponsors. Principal sponsors witness, secondary sponsors handle the candle, cord and veil, and every one of them matters to your parents. We photograph each sponsor pairing properly during the ceremony and again in the formal portraits, and we keep the group photo list moving so a forty-person entourage does not eat an hour of your reception.
Then the party: grand entrance, money dance, games the emcee has been planning for weeks, and three generations on one dance floor. That is where the film earns its keep.

Before you ask
Do you know the candle, cord and veil ceremonies?
Yes — we grew up with them. We know when each sponsor pair steps forward, where to stand for the veil placement, and that the cord photo needs both of you and the ninang’s hands in the same frame. Nothing needs to be explained to us on the day.
We have a big entourage. Can you handle the group photos?
Yes. We build a sponsor and family photo list with you before the wedding and run it briskly after the ceremony — a forty-person entourage photographed properly in twenty minutes, not an hour, so you get back to your guests.
Can you cover a full Catholic mass?
Yes. We photograph full nuptial masses regularly, work quietly around the priest, and confirm any church photography rules beforehand so there are no surprises at the altar.
Can family in the Philippines watch live?
Yes — our livestream broadcasts the ceremony or reception in full HD. For most Filipino weddings we cover, family in the Philippines is watching — titas included.
Do you film the money dance and games?
All of it — the pinning, the dancing, the games and the emcee’s chaos. It is usually the most rewatched part of the film.
What does it cost?
See packages for a starting point. A church ceremony with reception fits most standard packages; tell us your day and we will recommend the right fit.
