Located in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

Welcome to Faces and Places Photography, where every image tells a story.


My name is Gary Meynell and I am a passionate portrait photographer and experienced second shooter for weddings.


I'm dedicated to preserving your most cherished memories with stunning, high-quality photographs. Whether it's creating timeless portraits, supporting lead photographers on wedding days, or exploring the serene beauty of landscapes and night time scenes, my commitment to visual storytelling ensures that each moment is captured with creativity and care.


With a keen eye for detail and a flexible approach, I bring a unique perspective to every shoot, whether as the primary photographer or as a reliable second shooter for weddings.

Mobile Phone Photography

For some time now I have been conducting workshops on the topic of Mobile Phone Photography. They have proved so popular that I have decided to make the program available online.
