Hamilton wedding photography & videography duo!


We are Sam and Shan,


We are stoked that you are considering us for your wedding day. Our favourite part of this job is getting to know you guys through your friends and family, and we always feel like new pals when we head home!


We joined the wedding vendor scene in early 2023, and with a fair few now up our sleeve, we’ve created some packages that we hope will simplify this chaotic process for you! We cater to low-key and budget-conscious clients, who want their day captured in a natural way: without all the complex and intrusive technology that you might not care about. Still, you‘ll receive beautiful photos and video.


Based in Hamilton, New Zealand with our 4 cats. Shan is the extrovert, our primary photographer, she helps our couples with planning and deals with all the behind the scenes admin. Sam, the introvert, is our primary videographer and drone pilot. He loves a laugh and will always bring the good vibes on the day. 


As a duo, we love helping people feel comfortable with our low-key vibe and inappropriate humour. One of our favourite past times is eating Vietnamese food (and trying as many different restaurants as we can). We are always keen on an adventure and love exploring the beautiful Aotearoa, so are more than happy to travel across NZ to capture your special day.
