WELLINGTON PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
Hey, we are excited to have you here! You’re looking for a photographer (or videographer) who can connect with people, hustle large groups and put any awkwardness at ease. You’re in the right place and we want to hear more!
Wedding and elopement photography
Planning your wedding can be made easier by knowing you have a photographer who pays attention to what’s most important to you. I only take on a small number of weddings per year (approx 15). This means I can fully commit to each wedding with the same amount of passion and pride, while providing you with the best support and experiences (before, during and after the wedding day).
FAMILY, NEWBORN AND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
A nontraditional and easy-going experience having your photos taken! My sessions aren’t about making everyone awkwardly look at the camera and forcing a smile. We head to a location outside that you love, somewhere your children will have fun and you get to enjoy this moment together. My newborn sessions have a natural style and can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Couples and families will often recommend me for my calm and reassuring approach, as well as my ability to adapt and connect with children in all environments.
VIDEOGRAPHY
My partner Karl and I love creating content for others. Wedding videography is becoming a popular trend and we want to make it easy for couples by offering a video and photo package. While I’m photographing your day, Karl will be filming - dream team!
About Jaymee (The photographer)
When I first started photographing 10 years ago it sometimes felt like the most important thing was missing in my business - connection with my clients and their story. I went from being influenced by industry trends to prioritising the experiences I bring to every job. The most important thing to me is making sure my clients find the process easy-going and comfortable, having your photo taken isn’t something we do every day so I always put any awkwardness at ease.
We introduced videography to our business in 2019 when my husband Karl expressed an interest in joining me for a wedding! His background is in music, audio and AV work, so this was another skill that he could add to his long list of talents. There has been a huge demand for video in recent years. Clients are often looking for a photo and video duo, so naturally this extra service became very popular for weddings.
If you’d like to get to know me more before making a booking, I share a lot about my own story and previous client experiences over on my Instagram feed. Check out our Google reviews for real feedback from our clients. Have a read of my Q&A to find out more about what’s on offer!

THINGS WE LOVE
KARL
This guy makes me feel like I’m home, like nothing is missing even during those times when life gives you lemons. We are two unique individuals who love spending time with each other. Not to mention he makes me feel all kinds of pretty, even in my daggy clothes.
HANDMADE POTTERY
I love supporting local artists. Handmade pottery is something I can use and appreciate daily. I used to like matching kitchenware, now I look for different textures and colours. I’m over here drinking lots of coffee because I have too many mugs to choose from.
TITTENS
When I say her name my heart goes ‘ehhhhhh’! One of our family rescue kittens, she was burnt in a fire and very lucky to survive. She loves cuddles and her humans. Next to gratitude in the dictionary it says - Tittens.
MAPLE AND FIG
Our two fur babies, brother and sister. Also rescued and bottle fed from only 1 week old. They are our first pets living with us at our new home in Stokes Valley. Fig likes to get himself into trouble and Maple looooves cuddles.
