Documentary wedding & elopement photography in Queenstown

We're documentary wedding photographers & videographers who shoot weddings & elopements across Queenstown, Wanaka & Central Otago.

If you want your Queenstown day 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, all against some of the best scenery on earth. Then we edit it in a natural, timeless style that won't feel dated in ten years.

Made for Queenstown elopements

Queenstown is one of the best places in the world to elope, & an intimate ceremony on a mountain, a lakeshore or a helicopter-accessed peak is exactly the kind of day we love. Just the two of you, the scenery, & a small team catching it all on photo, video & real Super 8, so it comes back matching in style & feeling like the day actually felt.

A photographer who travels to Queenstown, fee-free

We're based in Palmerston North but shoot right across New Zealand. Travel is free within 50km of any main NZ city, & a flat $350 for the genuinely far-flung days. From a Gibbston Valley winery to a Glenorchy paddock to a peak above Lake Wakatipu, wherever your day is, we'll be there, & your sneak peeks land within two weeks (which is honestly unheard of).

“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 🤍

“captured priceless moments”

Ryan is a very thoughtful and professional photographer. He arrived on time with everything well-prepared, guided us on the best poses, and suggested great locations. He provided us with beautiful photos that captured priceless moments. I would highly recommend Ryan for your, your family, or your friend's wedding.
