You're looking at more than 100 years and 1000 weddings of combined experience!
We're based in the Auckland and Northland areas, however travelling is one of the best parts of a wedding.
The Collective means we're able to offer top notch service, amazing quality images and fast turn-around times all at a reasonable price. If a client chooses the Collective, we will select a Collective member which we believe is the best fit for the day (considering location, availability and all the other factors).
Choosing a Collective member for your wedding day means you'll get an amazing photographer at a very competitive price. Plus the benefit of all the first class systems, processes and resources that Greg has honed over the past 10 years.
Meet The Collective...
Greg...
Greg has been a wedding photographer for over ten years and has clocked up more than 400 weddings working in Australia, the USA the Islands and of course all over New Zealand. Greg is a DIYer from way back and before becoming a photographer, worked in just about every trade there is. He loves working on his property, tinkering with his Subaru or spending time with the family. Living in Mangawhai means lots of trips to the beach and the odd surf - on warm days.
Cat...
Cat has been photographing weddings since 2017 and has captured over 150 weddings across NZ, Australia and helped Greg with a few in the States too. She is also a qualified teacher - with almost a decade of teaching science under her belt. Cat looooves travelling and when she’s not shooting weddings she’s planning her next intrepid adventure.
Nita...
Nita will tick off 200 weddings really soon and usually splits her time between Auckland and the Waikato. When she’s not working she loves having a glass of bubbles in hand and soaking up the sun. She has a deep passion for life’s simple pleasures and loves a cheeky shopping trip, dining out or also staying in, cozying up on the couch with a good movie. "One of my greatest joys is capturing the beauty of weddings through photography. It’s a privilege to be part of such a special day"
Ross...
Ross has photographed weddings for over 10 years and even his mum used to shoot weddings - it’s in his blood! He loves a good jog, spicy food, sending memes back and forth with Mrs Ross and relishes a lazy Monday after a busy weekend of work.
Sarah...
Sarah photographed her first wedding in 2017 and has been creating magic with couples in Aotearoa and the UK ever since. This Yorkshire-born, adventure-loving gal is always on the move. When she’s not capturing epic love stories, she’s either making memories with her young family or plotting her next overseas adventure. Sarah is also the mastermind behind a coastal mum’s wine club … it’s like book club, but with more grapes!
Will...
Will has been a wedding photographer for about 5 years, shooting around 130 weddings in that short time! He loves to travel - clocking up 20 countries so far. When he’s not working or jet-setting, he’s usually watching a movie or two and his IMDB watched list is over 1300! We're told he’s a pretty keen fisherman too. "Photographing weddings isn’t just a job, it’s a privilege to have a front row seat the most beautiful chapter of a couple’s life" Will is also fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
WHAT OUR COUPLES SAY...
“What can I say? Greg was so amazing!! It was a blast having him photograph our wedding. His photos are absolutely stunning. He made everyone feel so comfortable and natural and it shows in the pictures. He was open to all of our crazy suggestions, but was also great and pulling us away from the dance floor to capture the most breath-taking sunset pictures. I am so excited to get all the pictures back, if they are anything like the preview I will be speechless to look through them all.”
“We were extremely blessed to work with Greg, Cat and the team for our wedding. Communication was awesome throughout the planning phases, and on the day, they were so great to work with and were a calming presence (coming from an easily stressed bride). They were very professional, and everything felt natural and easy. When we got our photos back, wow, we were amazed. So many stunning photos, and every time we looked through the albums, they seemed to get better and better. Our highlight videos were amazing”
“When it comes to wedding photographers - you don’t need to look any further than Greg. Not only is he a really great guy and super easy to deal with - his photos are seriously amazing! My wife was quite nervous to have her photos taken, however she needed not be with Greg. He put us both at ease with his warm nature, gave direction when required but let us be ourselves which only added to the stunning set of photos we got. We were blown away with what he captured on the most important day of our lives.”
