Valo Photo & Cinema
About the Business
Welcome to Valo Photo & Cinema, an Auckland-based institution specializing in wedding photography and videography. We pride ourselves on our natural, documentary style imagery and highly personalized, narrative wedding films. Our approach is rooted in honest storytelling, with an almost journalistic touch, ensuring that we interfere as little as possible on your special day.
Our unique style focuses on capturing those small moments that happen between the big ones, finding art in the ordinary. We cater to couples who appreciate a good laugh and don't take themselves too seriously. Our main priority is ensuring that you have a great time, fully assured that all those precious moments are being captured. The end result will be a collection of timeless imagery that you will cherish for years to come, creating a wedding that is uniquely yours.
But don't just take our word for it. One of our previous clients said, "Thank you so much. I've just finished having a cry after watching the video. I think you captured the day and the essence of us beautifully. We have really loved working with you guys. Wish we could do it all again as you guys made it so much fun."
As Auckland-based wedding photographers, we believe in being hands-off and following the natural flow of the day. Our goal is to capture real moments beautifully and artistically, with minimal direction. Inspired by documentary photojournalism, our style is slightly raw and unrefined, highlighting the story and expression over posed perfection. With attention to detail, our images are composed with a dramatic touch, emphasizing the beauty in these moments.
As wedding videographers, we are passionate about narrative storytelling. Each couple and wedding is unique, so we craft every film to match the individuality of the day. Our discreet filming style and minimal gear allow us to focus on capturing the composition and little moments unfolding before us. Inspired by real cinema, our films provide a true artistic account of your day, standing the test of time.
Choosing us for both your wedding photography and videography can alleviate some of the stress of wedding planning. With us, you have fewer vendors to coordinate with, and our seamless teamwork ensures everything runs smoothly. Additionally, our combined packages can be more cost-effective. Please get in touch to learn more about our pricing options for wedding photography and videography.
If you appreciate our approach and style, don't hesitate to contact us. Although we are based in Auckland, we are available to cover weddings across New Zealand and overseas. We are more than happy to work out a travel deal to accommodate you.

Reviews
"Rohan was amazing on our wedding day! He is so personable and just slots into your day perfectly and makes you so comfortable. His communication throughout over email and in person was awesome and Rohan is super reliable. I would 1000% recommend Rohan for your wedding videography :)"
"Valo being the photographer for our wedding was one of the best aspects of our wedding. Rohan made us feel comfortable the whole day whilst providing great professional decisions and opinions. The photos captured every precious moments of the day. We loved his honest service and amazing photography skills 100% recommend!"
"Laura and Rohan are incredibly professional, both in their talents in photography and cinematography as well as how they captured our wedding day. We opted for the 10hr package and it was so special to have Valo there for all the important moments. They are both such gentle and discrete in their style and made us feel so relaxed, which was especially important for my husband as he did not like the idea of being the centre of attention or photographed/filmed. Laura and Rohan put him at ease and we barely realised we were being captured. The quality of our photos and film is exceptional; every photo is worthy of its own frame and I've watched our film more than a dozen times now, and I discover a new moment every time. All our family and friends cannot believe the standard either and all cried (in a good way) after watching the film. My husband and I are so grateful to Valo that we will be able to look back on the memories of our wedding day with such joy and happiness."
"Valo Photo & Cinema did both our wedding photography and wedding video in March this year. Laura and Rohan were so easy to work with and a breath of fresh air. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were throughout the entire process - from our enquiry, meetings, emails and especially on our most important day. They were extremely professional, friendly, creative and it felt like we had known them for years. Their work really speaks for itself too, they are exceptionally talented at what they do and my husband and I are so grateful to have such gorgeous photos and memories because of them! They truly went above and beyond for our wedding. Five Stars!"
"We engaged Laura to be the photographer for our wedding in January. As a couple, you want someone who you can feel comfortable with and someone who is technically brilliant. Laura is both. She has a very unassuming and gentle personality and we felt very at-ease having her capture our special day - even the intimate bits. But she is a very sharp shooter too. She captured every aspect of our day flawlessly with incredible detail and composition in her shots. Our family and friends are honestly blown away by how good the preview shots were and so are we. Laura also added a lot of value in the planning stages after our initial meeting, making recommendations for potential shots to incorporate into the event run sheet. Laura has a very big future ahead of her. Five stars. Thank you."
