About Mala Photography
Hey, I’m Mala — photographer, hype-gal and professional people-person based in Auckland, New Zealand.
I photograph weddings, events, headshots and branding for people who want imagery that feels real, relaxed and full of personality.
If stiff, awkward photos aren’t your thing, we’ll totally get along.
Photos should feel like you
The best photos happen when people feel comfortable being themselves.
Most of my clients start by saying “I hate being photographed.”
They finish their shoot saying “That was awesome!”
My job isn’t just taking photos — it’s helping you feel relaxed, confident and completely at ease in front of the camera.
What I photograph
I work with people and businesses across Auckland and throughout New Zealand.
My photography and videography work includes:
• Weddings and elopements
• Headshots and branding
• Events
• Maternity, family and graduation portraits
My approach
Shoots with me are relaxed, collaborative and easy-going.
I’ll guide you through planning, locations, outfits and posing so you never feel awkward or unsure what to do.
Expect plenty of laughs, good chats and a whole lot of fun along the way.
Client love
“Mala was absolutely brilliant. She put us at ease immediately with her relaxed style and great sense of humour. We were over the moon with the final results.”

Wondering what a shoot with me is like?
This behind-the-scenes video was filmed during a styled wedding shoot for Dove Hospice charity stores. It gives you a glimpse into how relaxed, collaborative and fun my shoots are.
You’ll see how I work, how I guide people, and the kind of energy I bring.
Video filmed and edited by my brilliant videographer David.
