Documentary wedding photography in Hamilton

We're documentary wedding photographers & videographers who shoot right across Hamilton & the Waikato.

If you want your Hamilton 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 looks beautiful across the green Waikato countryside. Your sneak peeks land within two weeks (which is honestly unheard of).

“We are both not photo people so he provided great guidance”

We 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.

“In absolute awe of how the photos and highlight video turned out”

My Husband and I are thrilled with how all the content turned out and the clear communication throughout the day and afterwards. In absolute awe of how the photos and highlight video turned out. Extremely blessed to have Selah Weddings capture our big day 🤍
