Wedding Videography
When it comes to your wedding day, you need a visual team that works together without getting in the way. I offer flexible options to fit your plans, whether you need a dedicated wedding filmmaker with your photography you’ve booked - or a streamlined team for both wedding photography and wedding videography.
The most efficient way to document your wedding is with a combined photography and videography package. By booking both services together, you get a unified creative direction and a team that is already in sync
• Consistency: Your photos and film will have the same high-end look and professional color grading / editing.
• Efficiency: Contact Michael for all your planning, questions, knowledge and experience, but have a photo and video team that knows how to share the space, share the timeline, and work together to get the best shots and moments seamlessly.
• Simplified Booking: I discuss and handle the booking, payment, editing and logistics of both mediums so you can focus on the day.
If you have already secured a wedding photographer and are looking to book me to shoot your wedding film as your wedding videographer, I provide high-quality cinematic coverage that integrates perfectly with your existing plans and vendors. I focus on capturing the day as it happens—no over-posed shots, just clean, natural, relaxed yet professional storytelling.
From full-day combined packages to specific videography-only services, my goal is to provide a professional, stress-free experience that results in a timeless record of your wedding.
Sarah & Joel's Wedding Film, Kiwiesque, Bay View, Hawke's Bay
Sarah and Joel's intimate elopement style wedding in the hills of Eskdale was just the starter I needed for a wedding season full of me being a Hawke's Bay Videographer. It is lovely to see this part of Hawke's Bay alive with weddings again with this Austalian couple and their friends and family. It was a lovely, small, friendly affair and these two were so full of joy.

Alice & Dylan's Wedding - Linden Estate Winery, Hawke's Bay
Alice and Dylan's love story is one that crossed oceans — Alice making the journey from the UK to find love on the other side of the world in beautiful New Zealand. Their wedding day at the stunning Linden Estate Winery in Hawke's Bay was the perfect celebration of that journey. As a Hawke's Bay Wedding Videographer, it was a privilege to be there capturing every special moment — from the ceremony to the celebrations. Joined by photographer Nita, we documented a truly special day in one of Hawke's Bay's most breathtaking venues. If you're looking for a Hawke's Bay Videographer to tell your wedding story, I'd love to chat.

Michaela & Mack's Wedding Film, Meadowood House, Hawke's Bay
This was a wedding film I really wanted to nail. It’s my first season as a Hawke’s Bay wedding videographer and having met these two knew it was going to be a lovely wedding. Animal lovers, recovering from the cyclone after being badly damaged and losing so much, lovely people, and willing to take a chance on me. So thanks Michaela and Mack. I hope you like what I made you x
Monessa & Carl's Wedding Film (Teaser Clip), Kauri Bay Boomrock, Auckland
Monessa and Carl’s small, intimate, family affair was a sweet, lovely day and my absolute pleasure to document on film. Video really, but you get the gist. I’d like to thank Kasia for having me along, much appreciated my friend! As a former Aucklander and now Hawke's Bay Videographer I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Auckland, and this day was simply stunning up there, save for a few drops here and there but that just gave us rainbows x

James & Adelaide's Wedding Film, The Old Church, Hawke's Bay
James and Addie are a couple I will always be eternally grateful for because they took a chance on me to have them for their beautiful, sweet, funny, whimsical, smile filled, rain filled, laughter filled wedding. As a Hawke's Bay Wedding Videographer I always love The Old Church as a venue.
From their eternal jokes all day at the old Church and at their house to soldiering on at Pakowhai Country Park in Heavy Rain and keeping it positive, light, fun and memorable, this was a really fun day for me.
Ropati & Sarah's Wedding Film, Markovina, Auckland
Ropati and Sarah @xsezzax were Married at Markovina in Auckland, and it was lovely to be there capturing their day as a wedding filmaker. It was a real family wedding, surrounded by their nearest and dearest and as you will see, it was a very emotional yet happy day for our lovely couple. I chose a lovely 80s tune because I loved the romantic feel of the song, and how it was a song about service in love of someone else and connectedness. Thanks heaps to @samanthadonaldsonphotography for having me along, and of course to my lovely sweet bride and groom.

FILM STORIES
Michaela and Mack, Engagement Session, Waimarama Beach
Michaela and Mack's Engagement Session at Waimarama Beach, Hastings, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand was such a fun, easy way to spend a spring evening. And what a lovely evening it was. Their wedding is fast approaching and I am so very excited to be part of it.
Kelsey and Dane, Family Session, Ocean Beach
Kelsey @kelsey_cleaver_ and Dane @dane_cleaver are old wedding clients and very kindly agreed to be my guinea pigs for this video family shoot on a very windy, blustery but strangely mind winter’s day. It was so lovely to see these two again and I am so proud of Dane for becoming a @blackcapsnz squaddie. I am merely taking my first steps as a videographer but have shot a wedding and about to shoot another, so stay tunes and if you want to take a punt on me as your wedding videographer, get me while I’m cheap x
CREATIVE FILMS
Chlöe - Portrait Session Film
Chlöe and I took a little trip to the beach at Waipatiki to shoot some test footage for me to keep us on our toes. There was not a cloud to be seen all day, so we were lucky that we got a misty ombre sunset with the pinks, purples, blues and other hues that a Hawkes Bay Videographer likes to have lighting up the sky over the falling waves on this stunning beach. New Zealand Videographers would kill to have these beaches on their doorstep, its true x
Eva - Portrait Session Film
Eva @evaography is a local actress and I am a local videographer so we made a little vignette about how Eva loves music. Thanks @makayla_beer_aka @marblefox.beauty for the hair and makeup and for the amazing artists for their music.
Raveena - Portrait Session Film
Went on a portrait film shoot with Raveena and it was lovely. As a Hawke's Bay Videographer I am so happy it's spring again so these sorts of shoots can happen more and more.
