Recent events

Launch nights, festivals, awards dinners and everything in between. Here are a few favourites from recent jobs.

Of course, anyone can show off their best dozen shots. So here's two galleries: images that we shot alongside the activation video shown here, and a complete gallery from a single event, exactly as the client received it.

    Why people book us

    We make it easy

    We meet you at the start and get the brief, then we get to work. There are no check-ins and no hovering around you asking where to be. You've got an event to run.

    Heaps of photos

    A lot of event photographers hand over 40–80 images. Our smallest package starts at 100, and a full day gets you 400+. That means more moments, more angles, and plenty to keep your socials going for months.

    Fast turnaround

    Your photos are back in 3 days. If you need them sooner, priority turnaround gets them to you in 24 hours, or same day.

    Minimal interruptions

    Clients often tell us afterwards they barely noticed us, and they mean it as a compliment. We also know when to step in. We'll round people up for group shots, grab the sponsor photo, and chat to guests so they relax in front of the camera.

    Transparent pricing

    There's no "contact us for pricing" dance. You'll know the number before you've even said hello.

    The boring stuff's sorted

    Every booking comes with a clear contract and we bring backup gear on every shoot. It's not exciting, but it means nothing goes wrong on the day.

    Featured project

    A royal visit, 4 days, 9 events

    The Duke of Edinburgh's Award brought us on to cover Prince Edward's visit to New Zealand. We travelled the country with the team for 4 days and shot 9 events back to back. Some of the work was then featured by the Royal Family on their official Instagram.

    Same approach as every other job: a quick brief, then we got on with it. No babysitting required, even with royalty in the room.
