We had a one on one training day with Robby and it was absolutely fantastic! He knew his stuff and was so easy to understand and learn from. He explained things so simply. We honestly can't rave enough about what an awesome training session this was. Well worth the money in every way.

Hi Deborah,
I'd like to give you some feedback on my recent visit by Robbie. I was very happy with his work, and he is a likeable young man. I very much enjoyed the training he gave me and found everything to be helpful and informative. All in all a great experience for me.
Cheers Shane.

Hey Mark,
Thank you for your time I really enjoyed the past two lessons. I learnt a lot and I am feeling more confident with the gear I have. thank you for the extra notes I’ll have a look to night.

“ After only the Beginners course with Three Little Wishes Photography I made huge improvements! I would like to specialise in Pet/ Animal photography. Dogs for example running high speed directly at you are not as easy to get in focus as you’d think. With the tutors help I’m now getting in focus shots time after time. I’ve now done Beginners and Intermediate and will be back for the Advanced. As well as the Flash courses plus some One on Ones down the road. The tutors are helpful and you can ask them any question you may have and you’ll get an answer.

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for your feedback and the suggestions for the other two photos I wasn’t sure about. It really gave me way more confidence to tackle different projects.

Everyone at work has been commenting how the photos has improved and how happy they are with them

Thanks once again I’m will come back if I need more workshops

Thank you

Thanks to Graeme for the excellent tuition I received in Wellington in May. He has given me the confidence to actually start up a pet photography service. Whilst not giving up my day job I am seriously hoping to do something with this. I already have 3 assignments booked for next year to cover the indoor sheep dog trials champs after they had a taste of my work recently. Very hungry to keep learning and growing. Thanks again

The workshops are great and everyone has really enjoyed them. We’ve been taking some really cool shots.

Mark is a great tutor. Several members of my team have gone out and bought fancy cameras.

Hi Mark,
Just wanted to let you know that I had a marvellous day today and came home absolutely buzzing. Both my husband and daughter were thrilled that I had enjoyed my day so much and learnt as much as the tiny brain would take on board.I have downloaded the photos and put them into an album so now I can access them and read the settings etc and practice more and more.Thank you for making the day so enjoyable and trying to teach things to me in a way that I could understand. I will be in touch later on for sure and once again, thanks a million. Cheers Jeanette

I attended your night photography session on Thursday evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was apprehensive at first but was soon put at ease. I learned such a lot and met some interesting people. Thank you.

Odette Wright - Feb 2019

Thanks to Mark for a very informative and enjoyable Beginners Workshop on Saturday. I took this photo which you might like - all the people in the photo were in the workshop group.

Looking forward to the intermediate workshop in the near future.

I recently attended your beginner workshop on Sat 16th June, and had a great day with Mark & Simone. It was a big refresher for me having studied photography at United a very long time ago !  and I learnt so much that day - so please pass on my thanks

Poko Daniels -One on One Wellington June 2018
Been meaning to revert back to you in regards to my one on one with Graeme over a week ago.

Just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for hooking me up with Graeme in which I learnt so much of him.

I had an amazing time soaking up all his expertise in explaining to me what I really wanted to learn about.

Since then I have gone on to improve immensely in getting the right shots for my needs.

I will endeavor to spread the word around about “Three Little Wishes” for anyone looking to learn more about photography.

Susan Gutman July 2017
Good Morning - I just wanted to thank you very much for the workshop I did yesterday with Simone.  She was just lovely - very relaxed and very knowledgeable.  I went into the day very nervous as I knew only how to turn the camera on and use the auto setting (I usually use a smaller point and click) but I came away with an understanding of the ISO, aperture and shutter speed settings and know my way around the camera now !

Patricia Wischmann July 2017
Please thank Simone for a fantastic day.  I feel as if I have learnt so much, in such a short amount of time, with the knowledge passed on.  It’s fantastic.  Thank-you.
I’d love to share some of my favourites for the day, so please find them attached below, and I shall be in touch soon, for the Advanced Class.
Many Thanks,


Shelley Ashcroft April 2017

Susanne - Intermediate Workshop - May 2015
I attended the intermediate workshop on Sunday and wanted to say a massive thank you and let you know how amazing I found the course. Mark was thorough, clear, enthusiastic and a walking google of all things photography. I learnt not only how to more effectively use my camera for work and in general, I learnt the principles behind the basics, which really deepened my knowledge and as an added bonus, the beauty of a lens I had been given, and had fun with, but not properly appreciated its use (prime lens). A whole new world has been opened to me! I also picked up some amazing ideas for more creative uses. I have already been using my newly found skills and look forward to building on them and doing some further Three Little Wishes training down the track

Chris - Evening Photography Workshop - March 2015

Thanks again 10 out of 10

Sarah - Wish Project Student February 2015
My recent Advanced Photography Workshop marks the end of my mentorship program with Three Little Wishes. It was such a wonderful experience that I was very lucky to have been able to have done, and has given me valuable photography skills that will help me throughout the rest of my hopefully future career. I loved being able to learn in such a friendly environment, and the compactness of the lessons, followed by the immediate opportunity to practice, made it easier and quicker to learn. Thank you so much Three Little Wishes for this amazing opportunity!

Jo- One on One Tuition - Dunedin Oct 2014
Hi Debbie – just wanted to say a  BIG THANK YOU for all your help and time on Friday – I really enjoyed the day and couldn’t wait to put things into practice!  On one hand I should have waited till I had a house to go through with you, as I reckon I still need a bit of help with the lighting, but on the other hand it was great timing as I was called to a job on the Monday!  So I was able to put some of the things I learned into practice – talk about jumping in with both feet first!  I would have been too overwhelmed if I hadn’t spent the day with you so thanks again.
 So later today I am processing those photos to see which ones I have to repeat/improve next time.  (luckily they are not in a rush)  A mixed blessing was that my tripod tipped up and my sb600 broke, so I’ve had to get a new one – a 910 just arrived yesterday.   Whooohhooo.  The 600 was not very powerful I have discovered.  I also, funny moment, discovered that light doesn’t bounce off a wood ceiling – lol, should have been obvious! 
 One thing I did find, and it probably has something to do with how I have my camera set up ?, but many times I couldn’t get it to focus and/or meter on the windows. But luckily, you showed me how to adjust the metering so I was able to adjust manually. 

 Lucia - Beginner's Workshop August 2014
Thank you for an excellent run workshop. Mark was great! I learnt so much and hope to attend more. Your constant follow up with information was very much appreciated as I tend to get too busy and sometimes forget important details. I can highly recommend Three Little Wishes company to anyone wanting to get to know their camera

Christine - Flash Photography Workshop May 2014
 "I have just completed the beginners and intermediate photoshop workshops held by you. I was so impressed with the venue and studio, the friendly team, fantastic tutor ( Mark ) and not to mention the lovely pot of tea and biscuits. I would highly recommend this course as I came away with so much knowledge on photoshop that I wished I had learnt a long time ago instead of doing everything the hard way. Mark was so patient with us all. Thank you so much - well worth it."

Kay - Photoshop Workshop - March 2014
 "I am so glad I decided to do the adobe photoshop course, it was fantastic thank you so much! I have had so much fun the last couple of days playing around with all my photos! Hopefully see you for the advanced photography course next!!!!"

Rogan - Evening Photography Workshops Feb 2014
I headed out on the 23rd for a night photography lesson conducted by the good people at Three Little Wishes Photography.  I have already been on a couple of courses with them previously and their friendly and relaxed style of tutoring aspiring photogs like myself suited me down to a tee so it was a no brainer to get involved in a night class when the opportunity came about.
This was a really enjoyable class with lots of great information.  It helped me really solidify what I knew about night shooting and really opened up my eyes to an array of possibilities that flash can introduce to this style of photography.  Three Little Wishes really know how to conduct a workshop, it is always fun and delivered in a friendly environment that helps you get the best out of your gear.  If you are in Auckland I recommend checking out their classes, I will be back for more.
