Documentary wedding photography in Christchurch

We're documentary wedding photographers & videographers who shoot right across Christchurch & Canterbury.

If you want your Christchurch wedding to look & feel like the actual day, not a stiff, over-posed version of it, that's exactly what we do. We stay relaxed, get out of your way, & catch the real moments, the glances, the nervous giggles & the in-between bits you'd usually miss. Then we edit it all in a natural, timeless style that won't feel dated in ten years.

One team for photo, video & Super 8

Most couples want both photo & video, & on the day that usually means two separate crews bumping into each other. We keep it to one team who work together, so your day stays calm & everything comes back matching in style. Want that nostalgic, grainy look too? We shoot real Super 8 film as an add-on. It's a lot of content from one relaxed crew, & your sneak peeks land within two weeks (which is honestly unheard of).

A Christchurch wedding photographer who travels to you

We're based in Palmerston North but shoot Christchurch & Canterbury weddings. Travel is free within 50km of any main NZ city, & a flat $350 for the genuinely far-flung days.

“the photos were even better than we could’ve hoped for”

Ryan 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!
