About us
Kia ora! I’m Karl, and this is jaymee
Thanks for visiting our website! We are a husband and wife Photographer and Videographer duo (often described as a dream team in photos and videos). We live in Wellington, NZ and offer photography and videography in Wellington, Wairarapa and the Kāpiti Coast.
We put a lot of care into making sure our clients have the best experiences when working with us and we are so proud of the feedback we receive.
Our style is candid and natural. We avoid awkward or over-the-top posing, instead we offer lots of guidance and prompts that bring out real smiles and laughter. We believe in doing things your own way and want to capture your genuine moments together.
A bit more about me
I grew up in small town Feilding near Palmerston North. While growing up, music was really only present on long road trips up north, listening to Westlife, Backstreet boys and Robbie Williams. Then in high school I had two friends who played guitar and I wanted to jam with them. I didn’t want to be the third guitarist, so I figured I’d play bass! Later I started recording music that I had written and fell in love with recording, mixing and live sound engineering. I’ve been obsessed ever since.
It was only recently that I started videography. I was working for Rubber Monkey and we had a rental department, which we could borrow high-end equipment from and learn how it works! I combined that with my music and started making live video sessions. These are still my favourite kind of project.
I never really considered myself a videographer until my partner in crime (and life!) over at jaymeephotography.com suggested we become a photo/video duo. We shot our first wedding together and I loved it! Nowadays I try my hand at anything video related. During winter, you’ll often find me running video and camera mixing for live events and broadcasts.
Jaymee and I edited our own wedding film. We were lucky to have Brayden from https://mediasol.co.nz/ film our day. We ended up re-editing it in 2022 to make it even better. We loved the freedom of editing a video for ourselves and adding eclectic touches that we normally wouldn’t for our clients. It’s definitely a slice of us!
