Kia ora, we’re

Dani and Declan.​

​
We've spent years behind the camera, from film sets to intrepid journeys, and we both have a deep passion for capturing real emotion. 
 

Not long after we met on the set of Power Rangers, we travelled through Southeast Asia for months bringing only our film cameras and a head full of Nat Geo magazines. With film pretty hard to source off the beaten track, every shot took care and consideration. With every moment fleeting, we learnt to pick our shots, which helped us save a bit on film developing too. We use these lessons with our years of experience in the film industry to capture your day as it takes shape.

 

Declan has an eye for story-driven, cinematic shots, while Dani froths over the beauty in the sweet details. Together we’re pretty damn good at not only documenting your day, but the whole vibe.
 
We’re not the biggest fans of traditional wedding photos - we love capturing that beautifully raw and messy kind of love. Of course we’ll get your group shots with your favourite people, but if you want your day captured as it felt and not just how it looked, then let’s chat.
 
P.S. SAMA is short for 'sáma-sama' - a Tagalog phrase from the Philippines that expresses and encourages togetherness.
