Travelling for LOVE

Auckland Based Wedding Photographer & Videographer 

We believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel effortless.

The quiet anticipation before the ceremony, windswept moments by the sea, laughter shared around a long dinner table, these are the memories that become part of your story.

We are Grace and Ijah, a photographer and videographer duo, partners in life and in work. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, we travel throughout the country and worldwide to document weddings in a way that feels honest, natural, and deeply considered.

Our approach is calm and thoughtful, allowing your day to unfold without interruption while we quietly observe and document it as it truly feels. We are drawn to connection, beautiful surroundings, and the subtle moments that often go unnoticed.

The result is imagery and film that feel timeless, honest, and quietly cinematic.

It is difficult to find enough words to say how incredible Grace was throughout the whole process of our wedding! She was thoughtful, kind, reassuring and organised, and we felt we were in the best hands from the very first email exchange! She captured our wedding in the most beautiful way, and her ability to put everyone at ease in front of the camera was amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone getting married, she went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, thank you so, so much Grace! x

Grace and her partner Ijah were our photographer and videographer for our wedding in November 2023. Where do I start! These two were absolutely amazing! So professional from the beginning and communicated with me throughout the journey. They were so lovely on the day and interacted with our guests making everyone feel comfortable behind the camera. They captured all of our favourite moments from our wedding and gave us the most amazing photos and videos within a promised turn around. I could not recommend them more!

Grace is everything you would ever want in your wedding photographer. She sees your vision and puts it through effortlessly. I am so happy that we went with Grace, for our most special day. Not only did she capture our magic in such an authentic form, but we also became fast friends and for that I am eternally grateful. There's something so special about having that support and guidance in a friend and creative, and she has got such a fabulous eye for detail! 10/10 would highly recommend xx

Grace goes above and beyond to make dream photos come true. From the first conversation, we just knew that she was the right photographer for us. She took great care in getting to know us and she always made sure that we were going to get the photos that we had always dreamed of.

We can’t thank Grace enough for her amazing work, she has been the biggest blessing to us and we are so grateful. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Grace/State of Grace Photography x
