RAMBO ESTRADA
Documenting adventures
Hey there, thanks for dropping by, I’m Rambo and I take a lot of photos, Sometimes for work, sometimes for fun and often for both. I’m fortunate enough to live in Mt Maunganui on the East Coast of New Zealand. I’m a full time photographer and I split my my time between shooting lovely folks having the time of lives on their wedding day and swimming in the ocean shooting surfing.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE
The way I see things
I do things is a little differently. I shoot untraditional wedding images in a creative documentary style. Your wedding will be the funnest day of your life, I don’t want to interfere with that, I want to capture it as it unfolds naturally. The majority of the day I’ll just let you run wild doing as you please but during the portrait session I’ll give you some gentle direction and guidance, to ensure you look your absolute best on the most important day of your life.
EQUIPMENT
Tools of the trade
As you can probably gather from the image below, I’m obsessed with camera gear. I shoot exclusively Sony camera bodies and lenses as I believe they are the best in the world. I bring at least 3 cameras and 6 lenses to weddings so if I ever have an equipment issue I always have backups. The main cameras I use at weddings are the Sony A7RIV and Sony A9, which are both full frame mirrorless cameras.
I also have DJI Mavic 2 Pro and DJI Phantom 4 Pro drones which I use at weddings if the weather and venue permit.
OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY
Surf lifestyle & landscape
When I’m not shooting weddings I keep busy shooting surfing, lifestyle, travel and landscape photography. To check out a selection of my favourite images from 2018 click here.
