Life and Laughter
With an endless sense of adventure, a love of the outdoors, and three young boys - we have a passion for recording special moments and creating videos and photographs full of fun, energy, and emotion.
We make people smile!
Through highs and lows, with family near and far, we have learnt first hand the importance of preserving memories.
School camp, kapa haka, and prize giving. There are so many special events in a child's life.
Our heartwarming videos and photographs allows these treasured memories to be brought home for the whole whānau to watch and enjoy.
We would feel privileged to be part of your next school camp or event, or to spend time in your kura or organisation.
Some of our options are outlined below, and can be tailored to suit you.
This style is guaranteed to leave your heart full and face smiling!
It uses the power of the soundtrack to enhance and complement the images onscreen.
Interviews of varying lengths can be used to add depth and tell a more detailed story, depending on the duration of video required.
“Wow how amazing is that! It's made me feel quite emotional!”
We will work closely with you to understand your message and how you would like it to be presented.
We can spend time at you organisation to ensure that we get the right footage to deliver your message.
Interviews are a great way to communicate more personally with your audience.
Combined with slides and info graphics, these techniques can make great training videos.
“Wow, this video is fantastic. I love it and so will the kids! You captured the essence of it perfectly, fun, laughter and a great time for all.”
These videos capture the event in full as it happens.
For a public event, we like to use two cameras to catch different angles. These are kept reasonably still so as not to detract from the audience's experience.
For performances that do not have an audience, we have had fantastic results using two or more takes. This works particularly well for kapa haka, dance and musical performances.
The first take records the whole performance from two wide angles, while the second allows us to walk in between the performers to capture their faces up close.
“I just wanted to say a huge thanks for the amazing vids you have made this year for us to enjoy. It's been sad to miss out on those little moments of Freya's first year but your videos have kept a big smile on the dial. So great.”
Whilst videos capture the memories, photographs capture the moment.
We can spend time in and around your organisation, capturing images that truly respresent your values.
We aim to be as unobtrusive as we can, so as to capture authentic moments as they happen.
This is not work for us - we absolutely love taking photos like these!
We would be excited to join you on your next camp, fun run, rogaine, race, or adventure.
“Our Kapa Haka was very fortunate to have the talented skills of Heather and Greg produce a wonderful video and stills for our whānau. We were unable to host parents due to Covid restrictions, and the ability to share top quality photography and videoing where not just the talent of the children was captured but every single child was expertly featured also. We were so impressed that we will continue to do this every year due to the wonderful feedback we received. Ngā mihi nui ki a kōrua.”
