One of the best parts of our work is getting to capture real people, real families and the stories sitting behind the businesses we work with.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads behind the businesses, beside the kids, up the hills, on the sidelines, around the table and in the everyday moments that matter most.

Happy Father’s Day from the Avodah team.

Happy Birthday to the main man! My husband and our boss.

Today is all about celebrating the guy who works endlessly behind the scenes.

Avodah has come such a long way since we started back in 2012, and seeing how much our team has expanded makes me so proud. None of this would exist without the absolute blood, sweat, and tears he pours into this company every single day.

From me and the whole team, thank you for being an incredible leader and an absolute master of your craft. You should be so proud of everything you’ve built!

Have you ever filled up so many memory cards that you actually lost count?

Himayu + Vruttika’s wedding week officially broke our record for the most video data we’ve ever shot for one couple.

When you’ve got five full days of deep traditions, beautiful moments, and a crowd that genuinely never left the dance floor, missing even a second of that energy just wasn’t an option. Every single byte was totally worth it. We’ve poured so much love into weaving every ceremony and epic dance move into a film that captures the true scale of their week.

If you thought a one day wedding was a party, wait until you see what five days looks like! Head to the link in our bio to watch the full feature film on YouTube.

Wedding photographers or crisis managers?

• A groom forgets his vows.
• A ceremony starts 20 minutes late.
• The weather shifts three times in an hour.
• The speaker system cuts out mid-speech.
• The timeline completely goes out the window.

But the couple keeps laughing. The guests keep dancing.

If all you ever notice are the moments that mattered, we did our job properly.

First impressions are everything, especially in business.

When you are offering a luxury product, high-quality content is what makes people stop scrolling and actually take notice. We loved bringing this vision to life for Darkside GT Experience showing off every angle of this beast for weddings, events, and scenic hires.

Massive thanks to Kaitahi - Chef's Table & Lodge for hosting us and letting us use their incredible grounds for the footage and photos.

Slide 1 is us in 2012, teenagers shooting one of our very first weddings.

It’s been so much fun looking back through our archives. Photographing love stories both here in NZ and across the globe, we’ve seen so many incredible styles over the years, like rustic barn doors, neon signs, vintage heart cakes, and motion blur film.

Trends are awesome to play with, and social media gives us so many incredible ideas. Just remember that the best weddings are the ones built around what genuinely feels like you. Have fun with the style, but focus on the people and the moments.

To everyone who has let us capture their memories over the years, thank you for being such a huge part of our journey.

Behind the scenes capturing Palmerston North’s newest landmark.

We recently teamed up with CEDA - Central Economic Development Agency to capture the brand new TRYP HOTELS by Wyndham hotel right here in Palmy & Manawatū. Big developments like this bring huge momentum to the Manawatū region.

For an investment campaign, it’s about way more than just showcasing a building. It’s about highlighting the vision, the hard work, and the people bringing it to life.

Here is a quick look behind the lens from shoot day on site.
