How do you help your couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera?
I gently guide them into flattering poses or movements that also feel natural. This keeps things from feeling stiff or forced. Sometimes, I'll demonstrate it in a fun way so we all can laugh and break the ice. But the most important thing I tell them is to have fun and enjoy each other's company!
What's the best surprise you've ever received?
The first camera I ever got from my wife! If it wasn't for her and this gift, I would not be a photographer today.
When you aren’t shooting a wedding, what’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
I love spending time with my family on my off days. I love hiking so my wife and I go on walks and hikes exploring the different awesome New Zealand trails with our 1-year-old. There are some weekends when we just want to stay at home, read, cook, and watch a movie.
I love to travel to...
Iceland!
Tell us a weird fact you happen to know for no reason.
Owls don't have eyeballs! It blew my mind when a friend of mine who worked as a vet nurse told me this!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the start, Anthony was friendly, well-organized, and took charge, making sure every important moment was captured while keeping things fun and stress-free. We felt completely at ease throughout the day, which really shows in the photos, as previously we were both nervous about having to pose. Sometimes we didn’t even notice a photographer was even there during more candid moments! The final images are absolutely stunning—beautifully composed, full of emotion, and a perfect reflection of our day. We love the mix of both classic wedding shots and more candid moments throughout the night. We’re completely in love with them and will cherish them forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer! And will definitely be using Apertured Media’s services again for our future events.

I can't recommend Apertured Media enough! On our wedding day, they had a calming and professional presence that helped us feel completely relaxed throughout the entire process. They’ve given us a beautiful collection of memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were lucky enough to have Anthony & Meryl (from Apertured Media) capture our engagement & wedding photos. We can’t thank them enough. We have the most beautiful images of our day and family. We have now gone on to do more family photo shoots with them (maybe it will an annual thing?? ) thank you so much, M & R

My partner and I had the best experience with Anthony for our engagement photos 😍 He made us feel so comfortable and captured beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! My partner is quite shy in-front of the camera and Anthony put us at ease straight away and took natural photos that captured our relationship perfectly ❤️ we got our photos very quickly and communication with Anthony was great! Couldn’t recommend Anthony more - I have told all my friends about him for their engagements/weddings ❤️

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Anthony for our engagement photoshoot. Both of us were a bit nervous going into it as we usually feel quite awkward in front of the camera. However, Anthony made us feel so comfortable! We felt relaxed and happy and it shows in the gorgeous photos Anthony shot. Communication was easy, fast and professional. We received our photos very quickly. Our engagement shoot was an absolute delight, and we could not recommend Anthony enough! Stunning photos and a fun experience we will treasure forever.

We are thrilled at the results of our photo shoot at Karekare Beach and falls with Anthony. Our sunset photos look amazing and perfectly air brushed. The shoot was well organized and run by Anthony who is a top quality photographer. He knows exactly how to get the perfect shot. I highly recommend him and will come back for another shoot. - Junice and Joe ❤️

My partner and I had the best Post-wedding photoshoot, and Anthony was awesome. We both loved our pics and also enjoyed our time getting the shoot done. He was very friendly and calm to deal with, loved all the poses and the locations that he suggested while taking our pictures. I have recommended his name to all my friends and family and can’t wait to do this again; it was super awesome❤️
