“Selah did a brilliant job at capturing the story of our wedding day including all those intimate moments”Ron & Ellie · Google review
"We couldn't have asked for a better wedding videographer."
Words simply can't describe how much we love every moment he captured. He told the story of our day exactly as we imagined, if not even better. Watching our film brought every emotion flooding back, and we'll treasure it forever.
As two very camera-shy people, we were amazed at how comfortable he made us feel, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment.
Couples all across New Zealand have trusted our team at Selah Weddings to capture the biggest day of their life. Here’s a glimpse of what they say:

★★★★★“heartfelt and emotional moments”
Briar & Matt · Google reviewWe could not recommend Ryan, Liam, and the team at Selah Weddings enough! We were amazed at the quality of our photos, and how they managed to capture so many heartfelt and emotional moments from the day!
From the very beginning they were bubbly, fun, and keen to know exactly what we wanted for the photos our special day! They took extra care to ensure we had all of the photos we wanted - as well as working alongside two very big families! They communicated with us well and consistently - and we were able to have complete trust in them as a result.
Our family and friends are still absolutely raving about our photos, even months later! Liam was our photographer on the day and we’re still hearing comments about how lovely he was, making everyone feel at ease. Not to mention, we received our photos in an incredibly timely manner and we were absolutely over the moon with them!
We are incredibly lucky to have received the photos that we did and we genuinely could not thank them enough!
★★★★★“the photos were even better than we could’ve hoped for”
Destiny & Theo · Google reviewRyan was amazing on our wedding day! For a very good price, he travelled to multiple different locations to shoot our big day and the photos were even better than we could’ve hoped for. He was great at communicating with us at every step and making sure we had every shot we requested and took creative freedom when we were short on ideas. From the posed to candid, absolutely nothing was missed and I couldn’t recommend Selah enough. You will not be disappointed booking for your occasion!
★★★★★“warm, easygoing and professional”
Taine · Google reviewWe couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to capture our wedding. Ryan and Philip were warm, easygoing and professional from our very first call. They felt just like family on the day, and fit right in, collaborating with us to capture everything we wanted. They kept us updated on their timelines and delivered everything we asked for, and more, within just a few months. Highly recommend Selah Weddings!
★★★★★“so we never felt awkward”
Elena & Georgi · Google reviewRyan was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
Our wedding photos are beautiful and we couldn’t be more happy.
Ryan was very responsive and we had no concerns throughout the whole process.
We had a small intimate wedding and he was very helpful with suggesting ideas from photo groupings to where/how to pose so we never felt awkward.
Hope this helps anyone reading know that you’ll be in good hands!
★★★★★“something we will always treasure”
Christina & John · Google reviewWhere do I even begin! 🥹❤️ A massive thank you to Selah for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!
There are so many special moments throughout a wedding day that go by so quickly, and being able to look back at them through our photos is something we will always treasure.
We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories captured and all the effort that went into making our day even more special. Thank you, Selah, for giving us something we can look back on for a lifetime. ❤️
★★★★★“We are both not photo people so he provided great guidance”
Riana · Google reviewWe hired Ryan for our wedding. Amazing photographer. We are both not photo people so he provided great guidance in terms of shots. Great also getting coloured and black and white photos. He was responsive and communicative. Highly recommend.
