Hello there! I’m Kevin Zilabbo, a self-taught photographer originally from the province of Isabela in the Philippines. My passion for photography began in June 2016 when my love for travel sparked a deep appreciation for capturing both familiar and new landscapes. Since then, photography has been a meaningful journey of discovery for me.
Alongside my full-time career as a software tester, I also offer photography services specializing in life’s most important events like weddings, birthdays, and family celebrations. Capturing candid, heartfelt moments at these occasions is something I truly love and prioritise in my work.
I currently live in Hamilton, New Zealand, where I balance family life with my passion for photography. I’m a proud father to two wonderful daughters, Elisha and Isla, and a devoted husband to my lovely wife, Essy. Photography is not just a hobby for me; it’s a way to express my creativity, tell stories, and give glory to the One who gives me strength and inspiration every day.
I also organize photo tours to share my knowledge of landscape photography with others, believing that teaching is a powerful way to grow and enrich myself as well.
Life’s special moments, whether under shifting skies or in the laughter of loved ones, are fleeting and precious. I’m here to help you capture and keep them alive forever.
Frequently asked questions
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
If the location is within Hamilton, travel is included in the package. For shoots outside Hamilton but within 100–130 km, there’s a small additional fee starting from $50. For locations beyond that, we can chat and work something out based on distance and logistics.
Do you travel for photoshoots outside of Hamilton or new zealand?
Absolutely! I'm happy to travel beyond Hamilton and even outside of New Zealand. For out-of-town or international bookings, we’ll just need to plan in advance and include additional travel costs.
Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?
Definitely yes. I’m all for creating something that fits you perfectly. Just reach out and let’s have a chat about what you have in mind. I’d love to make it happen.
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
For birthdays, family shoots, and similar events, you'll receive the final gallery within a week. For weddings and elopements, the turnaround time is usually 2 to 3 weeks.
