The Sutherland & Kovach Story

We are Hannah Sutherland and Jasmine Kovach and we work together in a beautiful sweet world.

To give you a sense of history, we’ve known each other since we were gawky pre-teens. But our story really began when we ended up at the same high school. We immediately bonded during art class and have been best friends ever since.

Hannah has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam and Jasmine has a Master of Arts in History, also from the University of Auckland. Qualifications aside, the best way to describe us is simply ‘artists’. We are observers. We see the world through the lens of our cameras; capturing the beauty that is to be found in so many of life’s everyday moments when you know where to look.

Sutherland Kovach Studio is two photographers with one vision. A little like the way twins share a kooky silent communication, when we photograph together we click (no pun intended). Our individual photographic styles complement each other; the images weaving together seamlessly to become a fluid story – your story.

We take care to reflect the individual style of our client’s occasions and offer a bespoke photographic service that delivers sophisticated images with an artistic edge. Our creative ideas and ability to spot the intrinsic charm of finer details is what makes our clients happy, but our shared passions go beyond the camera. Our knack for craft and event styling has led us to be selected to provide editorial shoots for New Zealand’s leading wedding magazine and is something that we can bring to your occasion if you desire.

Love has inspired many an artist through history and it inspires us in every day of our work, which we think makes us the luckiest people in the world.
