Wellington photographer and videographer duo
Creating the best photography experiences for families & couples
Thanks for visiting our website! We are Jaymee and Karl, a husband and wife 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.
Types of photography & videography we offer
Wedding and elopement photography
We offer wedding packages that can be customised to suit any event. We will have an option for everyone and we love hearing specifically what YOU are looking for in a photographer or videographer! We keep our bookings limited throughout the year (we don’t overbook ourselves during the demanding wedding season) which allows us to fully commit to each wedding with the same amount of passion and care each time.
Family, newborn and engagement photos
My style of photography is all about creating a fun experience with your loved ones, it is genuinely something that everyone can enjoy in the moment! Couples and families will often recommend me for my calm and reassuring approach, as well as my ability to adapt and connect with children in all environments.
My ‘at home’ newborn sessions are non-traditional and have a natural unposed style. I currently don’t offer studio photography and all of my portrait sessions are either outside at a location or in your own home (recommended for newborn sessions).
WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY
Karl and I love creating content for others. Wedding videography is becoming a popular trend and we want to make it easy for couples by offering a video and photo option. While I’m photographing your day, Karl will be filming - dream team! Jaymee tends to take care of most of the admin side of your booking, while Karl is the technical brain of everything that goes on behind the scenes.
More about jaymee and her background in photography
I graduated with my degree at the age of only 20 years old and knew that I wanted to make a career out of photography. For the first few years in business, I worked multiple jobs before getting to the point where photography could be my only source of income.
When I first started taking on paid work early on in my career it sometimes felt like the most important thing was missing - true connection with my clients and their story. I went from being influenced by industry trends to prioritising the experiences I bring to every job and listening to what people were actually asking for.
We introduced videography to our business in 2019 when my husband Karl expressed interest in joining me for a wedding! His background is in music, audio and AV work, so this was another skill that he could add to his long list of talents. There has been a huge demand for video in recent years. Clients are often looking for a photo and video duo, naturally this extra service became popular for weddings.
If you’d like to get to know me more before making a booking, I share a lot about my own story and previous client experiences over on my Instagram feed. Check out our Google reviews for real feedback from our clients.
Things we love!
FOODIES & WINE LOVERS
We love good kai! Whether it’s eating a healthy meal at home, a yummy cheese platter or eating at our favourite restaurant… we make every meal count for something.
MAPLE AND FIG
Our two fur babies, brother and sister. They are our first pets and they get a lot of attention. Fig likes to get himself into trouble and Maple loves cuddles.
GYM & DAILY MOVEMENT
Jaymee loves gym training and is currently at BFT Lower Hutt, while Karl enjoys swimming at the local pool. We also love going on walks.
CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS!
Jaymee loves dancing (she was training to be a dancer before she started photography) so naturally celebrating birthdays are always a big event.
JOURNALING & READING
Both of these activities have been such a game changer for Jaymee’s mental health. We joined the library a few years ago and have Goodreads which has been so good for motivating us to read books instead of scrolling on our phones!
HOUSE RENOS
When we moved into our home it needed a lot of work and over the short time we have lived here we have renovated or improved most of the spaces! We are really proud of our home and most of our income is spent here.
Connect with me on Instagram!
I love connecting with people and discussing interesting topics over on my Instagram account. You'll quickly see my social media is not somewhere I only share photos and try to make sales. You will truly get to know the girl behind this business on a personal level. I share all parts of my life (often without any filter) - the behind the scenes, my personal life, my mental health journey and things that are important to me. This is a space I invite everyone to connect and reach out over topics that resonate with you.
