New Zealand Wedding Photo & Film
Vows aren’t just words, marriage is not just a piece of paper, the future is not all roses, but the adventure starts here, and there’s almost nothing more rewarding that you will do in your life.
Whoever you are, your marriage begins with a love story. Whatever your story, there’s something unique about your better half that convinced you that they were the one you wanted to spend your life with. Here’s to forever.
Hi, I’m Matt
I’m a photographer and filmmaker based in Auckland, and I’m passionate about capturing people’s stories.
Above that, marriage is something I really believe in. Getting married is one of the most important things you will ever do, and I want you to be able to look back on that day for years to come and remember exactly how it felt.
So I’m not just there for the photos. I want to get to know you both, have a good day with you, and at the crux of it all I want your marriage to thrive.
Friendly, fun & a touch of sunset
Relaxed, not staged
Documentary style, non-intrusive and gently encouraging. You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll nudge you in the right direction, then mostly stay out of the way so the real moments can happen.
The whole story
From getting ready in the morning through to the dancing at the reception. The big moments, and all the little in-between ones you didn’t even know happened.
Photo + film
Add a cinematic highlight film and get the day back in three to five minutes of tear-jerking, storytelling, romantic video. One person, one vision, one less thing to organise.
Love Stories
It’s more than just a piece of paper
Be anchored in your relationship and in what you believe, and keep grace on hand at all times. It’s the super glue that holds a marriage together. That’s the heart behind the name, and it’s the reason I do this.
Read the visionPress play
Photos freeze a moment. Film gives you the voices, the vows, the laugh you forgot you did halfway down the aisle.
The cinematic highlight film gives you snippets of the day in a three to five minute tear-jerking, storytelling, romantic video. Fair warning: couples tell me they cry every time they watch it.

Matt from Anchor & Grace Photography is awesome!!! We are so so so happy with our photos and videos. Matt was able to capture every part of our day in such a special way. He is extremely friendly and so easy to work with. We both felt completely at ease in front of the camera. The quality of the photos and videos are impeccable. Also we love the small touches such as receiving a leather envelope full of some prints from our wedding, a USB full of all photos and videos and even a hand written note from Matt himself. We cry every time we see our video and look at our photos.
My husband, Dave, and I would highly recommend Anchor & Grace Photography to any couple looking for wedding photos and video!!!

Matt has been amazing from day 1 with both our engagement shoot and wedding photography. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. Matt went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Our friends and family were all highly impressed with Matt’s friendliness and hardly noticed that he was there. We are absolutely amazed and so happy with our photos and really love Matt’s style. We could not have imagined anyone better to help make our wedding so special. Thank you so so much Matt.

Anchor & Grace performed photography and videography for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Matt is very friendly and attentive. He took every effort to accommodate us in the realization of our vision. The final product that we received surpassed our expectations. All of the emotions of our special day were captured for us to enjoy for years to come. We could not recommend Anchor & Grace highly enough!

Yes, the prices are random, but your investment is not. It takes a lot of gear, backing up, consideration and attention-to-detail to make sure your memories make it safely from the moment to the album.
Here’s to forever
If you like what you’ve seen, I’d love to chat. Tell me your date and a bit about the two of you, and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
