This is the only time in my life I’m mad at google for allowing only 5 stars out of 5 because really it’s been a 20 star out of 5 star photography and cinematography. Tim and I are now part of the Perspectives fan club, Prez and Vice Prez, self nominated. Jared does the filming on the day and he does same day edits. Who in their right mind would do something so complex and execute it so perfectly? Well Jared Brandon does. At 9pm at night during our reception at Mudbrick he had our highlight reel of our wedding day ready to go and it was honestly just the best to recap our day again with all our loved ones. Where do I even begin with our wedding photos? When Isaac sent us the photos, me and Tim felt so much joy and happy emotions seeing the photos. I believe when a photograph moves you to smile or feel something, it is truly done outstandingly. I am by no means a photographer but the composition, contrast, the variation of the photos is superb. I can not fault these guys, if anything Isaacs large biceps had distracted some guests but that’s really it. Best believe I will hire these guys again if I get married a second a time. (Haha jokes) (but really) worth every dime!

Jared and Amber are the best investment for your wedding. Enough said. Every bride wants to look their best and Jared and Amber truly are the best people to make it happen. Not only do they produce exceptional results, they make the experience of going off and taking photos fun and relaxing (especially for someone like me who doesn't feel comfortable in front of a camera). I cannot rave about them enough and will forever recommend them. They are funny, warm, kind and absolute ninjas at the best of times. They are also the best communicators, when plans weren't going to plan, we knew we would have a photographer and videographer. Phenomenal photos and video and zero stress. Perspectives Photo & Cinema is the best decision you will make for your wedding.

Where to start- I don't know that we will be able to do justice to Isaac's incredible work but we will certainly try but we think the photos attached probably speak for themselves! Isaac was like a well oiled machine on the day- he seemed to just be everywhere all at once capturing all the special moments as they happened. We have hundreds of photos to remember our special day yet at the time it didn't feel like we were being constantly photographed and forcing smiles! It was very real & natural. The beautiful landscape of where we were married was captured sooo well & we are so thankful to have such a beautiful collection of photos to remember the day. Beyond the photos Isaac was such a pleasure to be around for the day, such a fun, positive & energetic person. We were also blown away by the beautiful gift we received in the mail which was completely unexpected. Please consider Perspectives for your special day! We promise you won't regret it!!!

It took one look at the Perspectives album (on display during our venue scouting) to make us fall in love with their work and decide there and then that this is how we want to remember our wedding. Amber and Jared were so attentive, professional, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Not only are they extremely good at what they do, they went above and beyond to make everything perfect like scouting out locations in the dark, lending me boots to spare my wedding shoes in muddy grass, and saving the day with a hair tie when my veil had a mind of its own! Along with Jay and Priscilla, they were like invisible photo video ninjas, capturing everything and everyone but so discreetly that many of the photos made me wonder how they managed to take them! Our photos are stunning, the videos make me cry with happiness, and our family and friends rave about how beautifully our photos and videos turned out. Let these guys capture your life milestones, you won’t regret it 🙌

“After we saw Perspectives work from my cousin’s wedding we had to have them! My hubby hadn’t even proposed to me yet and I knew I wanted them for my big day! They are so professional and incredibly easy to deal with! Their work is amazing and they have become a huge hit in our family having done 3 weddings so far. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed and they are worth every penny!”

Can not recommend Perspectives enough. Amber was soo easy to work with, and they took care of everything. We had two photographers for the entire day, from getting ready to the reception, and absolutely LOVE the photos. I cannot thank Amber and the team enough

EVERYONE NEEDS ISAAC AT THEIR WEDDING!! What an unreal experience we had with Perspectives from beginning to end. Isaac has a warmth and positivity that is contagious. He manages to perfectly be in the right place without you even knowing he's there, catches the most amazing moments and makes everyone look amazing. When you do notice Isaac is there, hes adds to the vibe - all of our family and friends (including us) wanted to become his bestie. We were blown away at the professionalism and how well Isaac and Amy listened to everything we wanted (and didn't want). We loved how quickly we got to see the blog photos after the wedding - and are obsessed with every single one of them. Thank you Isaac and Amy - you are amazing!

Perspectives is amazing! When I first met up with Isaac I warned him that we are both basically incredibly awkward in photos, and good luck to him. Well - we both love our photos and couldn't be more thrilled! They turned out beautifully and we had such a fun time shooting them! Most importantly - Isaac was totally happy to tailor the package to what we wanted, rather than tell us that we could only have them do it if we signed up to a certain package (which several places did!) I'm so thankful that he done our wedding, as in the end photos are the only thing you have on the other end! Looking at our photos makes me so happy!

Isaac and Amber were so professional and had such a good vibe on the day. Our bridal party raved about how awesome they were, especially for those that usually hate having their photo taken. On top of that the photos were amazing!! We still have people nearly a year on say that they are by far the best wedding photos they have ever seen. We love how they captured the essence of our day in their images - fun and family! http://www.instantphotos.co.nz/blog/landsendt-wedding-photos-murray-naketas-sneak-peek/ Quite frankly, they are that good that My husband and I are looking for another excuse to get more images taken, so we’ve asked them to join us at a family event in Rarotonga this year.

Isaac and Amber truly do amazing work. We found them to be easy to approach and talk to and have such amazing ideas for photos. Friends and family always love to look through our album and they too comment on how beautiful the photos are. They really did capture all those little moments and its nice to remember my day with such great photos. We have done 2 photo shoots with them now and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them in the future. They definitely have a uniqueness to their work.

Issac and Alex were awesome photographers and so was Jared and Jay as our videographers. They blended in so well with our wedding. We hardly noticed they were there and the photos turned out amazing. I love all the different shots they got. I can't wait for the video to come out. They are well worth the money. Photos are the one thing you take away from the day forever.

We choose Isaac & Amber for our wedding as we fell in love with their photography style by viewing amazing photo’s on their website from weddings etc that they had done. The website showed the amount of talent they have working with Photoshop and also the enjoyment that they get from their job. By reading their blog you understand how easy they are to get along with and their friendly personalities. This gave us the confidences in not needing to meet with their prior to the big day. We couldn’t recommended more highly as they really are; I think, one of a kind. As I’m sure most wedding days go the morning is a bit stressful especially if your dependent on weather like we were. If anything, they alleviated stress rather than creating it by making their beautiful-selves some how blend into the background while still doing their job superbly! We have had so many people not only on the day but a year later comment on their professionalism and style. We adore our wedding photo’s and the fond windy memories each time we drive past the location! HUGE thanks again - Dave & Lara (now + little Maddison Claire!)

Isaac and Amber of Perspectives Photography were absolutely great. Not only did they make the pre wedding photos, group photos and photo shoot fun and relaxing they were organized, professional, prepared and delivered amazing, unique photographs of our wedding. The little extra cost was worth it to get such stunning photos. I have already recommended them to other couples and and will continue to do so!

We are currently sitting debating how to find the words to tell you how we feel after watching our highlights video. But there aren’t words!!!! We have a hugest, face splitting grins on our faces and tears in our eyes!!! You took us on an emotion rollercoster – in 5 minutes! Smiles, tears and laughter!!! This is way beyond the amazing and perfect film we wanted and we are over the moon! You perfectly captured everything right from the early morning through to the crazy night! Even the music fits perfectly! Thank you so much!! Now we have to go and watch it again!

We feel we made the best choice with Isaac and Amber as our wedding photographers they were extremely professional and knew exactly what to do and how to make the most of the lighting and of us after a long day! We felt completely comfortable and at ease with them despite the fact we had only met them once prior to the wedding day, that really made the whole process much easier! I have no qualms about suggesting them for anyones wedding or portraits as they are amazing! Our wedding photo’s are spectacular and we have them forever! Thanks guys!! Louise and Blair

Isaac and Amber were more than we could have hoped for. Right from the first meeting, we could relax around them, they listened to our ideas and had suggestions to make them better. On the day you wouldn’t have known they were there at the ceremony, and yet the shots were amazing. They went above and beyond, and we even had a slideshow of shots to play at our reception from the days events. The end product was better than we thought possible, we are still going through all the shots because there’s none we don’t want! We shopped around a lot before finding Isaac and Amber, and they were fantastic value for money compared to others we saw and had quotes from. I would recommend Amber and Isaac to anyone getting married, you won’t be disappointed.

I couldn’t be more in love with my photos and my wedding album. I get so many comments from friends and family about how beautiful they are. Isaac and Amber are wonderful to work with. It’s great having a team of two photographers catching every moment of your special day. They’re lovely, friendly people who make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve done two photo shoots with them now, and we’ll probably go back and get our family portraits done with them too. Love your work!! Tamara, Daniel & now Coralee

Where do we begin to describe how awesome Perspectives Photography are?! Truly talented and amazing! They’re so great at making you feel at ease in front of the camera, they’re so patient and give great direction. You barely notice they’re there but they are and the photos are stunning! And to top it all the album that was part of our package.. it took our breath away! Thank you Isaac and Amber.. you guys truly made our day special and memorable! We’ll definitely be coming back to you guys for many more photoshoots!

Perspectives where great! All the way through the process they where very informative and we had no doubt as to what will happen on the day. They are very organized and professional! On the day itself we had a blast, they where relaxed and ensured that we enjoyed ourselves. They gave direction throughout the day but was very open to suggestions and fun ideas. Would recommend them any day!!! Thanks guys for a great day!

The photos Perspectives took at my wedding achieved more than an record of the layout or look of my wedding - they captured the emotion, the feel and the joy. The photos are more than I could dream of and have an amazing life to them. It’s not just me that loves them either! Our photos were in the Bride and Groom Magazine and we are soon to be in a wedding blog. Isaac and Amber are amazing to deal with and super friendly - Everything you could ever want in a wedding photographer :D

Amber and Isaac are amazing. I first saw their photos when a girl from school got married, and fell in love. Turns out that was their first professional wedding! When we got engaged I knew we had to have Perspectives capture our day. They didn’t fail to disappoint. After an awesome engagement shoot, they (along with their awesome assistant Holly) out did themselves on our day, and we have had nothing but amazing comments from our guests, friends, and other professional photographers. I can’t wait to see our album, and wouldn’t fail to recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much guys

Isaac and Amber are brilliant. They are lovely people who took special care with us. They met with us beforehand and got to know us and they tailored their service to what we needed. On the day they were brilliant. They fitted in perfectly with our celebration and they took the photos fast and it was fun. But most importantly a year later as we go through our photos today, they take beautiful photos. Technically superb, with a very fine artistic eye. That’s what attracted us in the first place - the quality of the shots on their website, which was much nicer than other wedding photographers. A lot of wedding photography is very tacky. Not perspectives. And finally their service is excellent. They are extremely professional and customer-focused at all times, and they delivered the photos very quickly. We were extremely impressed with Isaac and Amber they made our wedding even more special than it already was. We can’t recommend them more highly - personally, professionally and artistically. Thank you, Jon and Gemma

Perspectives Photography are fantastic and I always recommend them to anyone I can. (what happens just as often is I am asked who did our amazing photos!) They are super friendly, And love what they do you can see Photography is their passion and this shows in their photos. They are an absolute pleasure to have around on the wedding day they made us all feel comfortable and most of all beautiful!They are always professional and thoughtful and very organised I can honestly say with all the different vendors and companies I dealt with organising my wedding they were the best on every level. A few examples ...on our wedding day they lent me their jandals, got knee deep in mud and taught my aspiring photographer and sister in law a thing or two at the same time! I would highly recommend them to anyone it is easy to see their photos are amazing but it’s the little things that go into your big day that are important like what I have mentioned above, I think Photos are quite often one of the most important things to many couples so a lot of trust is put into a chosen photographer to deliver, You cannot go wrong with Perspectives they rock!!

Perspectives photography are amazing! We really wanted fantastic photos of our day as they are such an important record to keep and that is exactly what we got! Issac and Amber were so professional, flexible and creative. We had all the important typical wedding shots with our families as well as having lots of time for scenic shots. I would recommend them to everyone that wants unique wedding photos.

Issac and Amber of Perspectives Photography were absolutely awesome and were recommended to us by friends - and we have since been recommending them to others! Friendly, lovely and professional, they were simply a pleasure to deal with and made us feel like superstars on our special day. The photos are exceptional, we couldn’t be happier and we have had so much excellent feedback from others regarding them. A huge thanks to Isaac and Amber for capturing stunning images that we can cherish now and in years to come.

Isaac and Amber were so amazing. They are the nicest people to deal with. They are so professional and so nice. Before the wedding our Preist was quite nervous about having two photographers in quite a small church, but afterwards he was raving about how professional Isaac and Amber were. When we booked Perspectives we were confident that we were going to get amazing photos, on the day we were so relaxed because we knew that we could trust them to capture the important moments. We have had so many people tell us that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. I will be recommeding to anybody looking for an amazing wedding photographer. Thank you so much Isaac and Amber for your hard work, we couldn’t have asked for more. Wedding Date

Perspectives Photography were absolutely amazing! Issac and Amber really captured everything on our special day. They were so professional and friendly and made us feel really comfortable. We are so so happy with our photos! Perspectives Photography is by far the best photographers we have ever seen. Their prices are really competitive, and they offer unbeatable service. Our Havelock North wedding would not have been the same without these guys. Highly recommend you talk to Issac and Amber before you talk to any other photographers.

We couldn’t have had better photographers. I had followed Perspectives work for quite some time and knew that I wanted them to be our wedding photographers. From seeing their work and meeting with them a few weeks prior to our big day we felt 101% sure that our wedding photos would be amazing, and of course they were. The weather conditions on the day were not at all typical of the part of NZ where our wedding was, or for the time of year - we expected sun all round but instead got heavy rain. Isaac and Amber were incredible - nothing was too much effort and they were so much fun and yet professional at the same time. We all (bridal party) felt at ease with them. The outcome was more than we expected - we were blown away by our images. To deal with such professionals on one of the most important days in your life and end up with unique images that really show the story of your day is critical in my opinion. Isaac and Amber delivered this for us. Every cent we paid for our photography and gorgeous Queensberry album was worth it.

We LOVE our photos! Isaac and Amber are an amazing team who captured every moment of our day with grace, sophistication and style. They have an fantastic eye for composition and lighting whilst being able to capture the little moments of joy and emotion that happen throughout the day. They were great fun on the day and easy to work with and we knew without doubt that we would get an amazing product at the end of the day. They were able to put everybody at ease and give direction easily when required. We have had so many comments that our photos were the best that anybody has seen and I’ve recommmended them several times already!! We loved hanging with them, we love our photos to bits and had trouble just choosing one for the wall! I would thoroughly recommend Perspectives to everybody, they were professional, friendly and provided excellent service and a quality product. Our photos truly capture who we are, and each one is unique. Thank-you again for capturing our unforgettable day with unforgettable images that we will treasure forever. Jane & Lance

Amber & Isaac were a pleasure to work with right from the initial contact. Their professionalism really shone through, they were prepared for any type of weather, and no matter what it was doing, the photos always turned out amazing. They had away of finding the cutest little spots to photograph in, and just seemed to blend into the crowd while still getting the best view, making for really natural looking photos. They were so relaxed, not scared to get their hands dirty (or soaked in our case) and extremely easy to get along with. We were able to do an engagement shoot with them beforehand, something that i will never regret doing and would encourage others to do also. Thank you so much for being a huge part of our day!! Can’t wait for another opportunity to work with you again. :D

We decided that a beach in Rarotonga would be perfect location for our ideal wedding. We googled photographers in Rarotonga and found Perspectives Photo + Cinema. From that momment on, we were hooked - We never considered any other photographers. Isaac and Amber were awesome to communicate with and all their work looked amazing. When we finally met in Rarotonga just before the wedding, we felt relaxed and confident that we would get exactly what we wanted from the photo’s. They both made us feel at ease and we actually enjoyed having the photo’s taken. Isaac and Amber also included our son Hunter into the shooting, which was a lot of fun. We are thrilled with the photo’s and so many people have been impressed by the quality, even friends of friends letting us know how awesome they are. We would have no hesitation in recommending Perspectives Photo + Cinema to all of our friends and family. Thank you Isaac and Amber for giving us wonderful photo’s to remember our wedding day.

We chose Perspectives Photo + Cinema as I had seen their work & LOVED it! My Husband cannot believe how amazing the photos are and every single photo is just perfect. They were fanatics leading up to the wedding & fabulous on the day, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We have had so many friends/work colleagues tell us they are the most amazing wedding photos they have seen. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Thank you Amber & Isaac! You truly made our day magical.

Perspectives are THE MOST PERFECT photographers for ANY occasion! Amber and Isaac are SO FRIENDLY whilst at the same time extremely professional. You feel like you’re hanging out with old friends. Remember you need to be able to get on with your photographers as you will be spending the whole day with them. And then you get the images and you’re like “WOW!!!!!!” From the time we started planning the wedding they were always on hand providing advice (even for things not relating to photography) to help our day become perfect. They want it as much as you do!! Then you get a “sneak-peak” online that you can show your friends and family which provides a story of the day and everybody can’t stop saying to us how AMAZING their photos are! I would rate Perspectives higher but I can only give a 5.

Wow- where to begin. I spent several months looking through photographers portfolio’s and the minute I saw perspectives I knew that they were the best of the best. It took us a while to book as the cheaper photographers were a bit tempting, but I can confidently say now with no regrets that there is no compromise for good photographers, including price, these guys were worth every single penny! Right from our very first email with Isaac & Amber we were made to feel welcome & like they genuinely wanted to work with us. We felt Isaac & Amber put 100% percent into preparing for our wedding by spending some time the day before scoping out different photo opportunities depending on the weather. I will never forget their excitement in telling me about different locations they had found, it was so genuine and made me feel so special and excited amongst being slightly stressed setting up for the big day. On our day Amber & Isaac had such a natural approach to photographing that was not invasive, instead they felt like part of our bridal party adding to the excitement with all their ‘ohh’s’ and ‘ahh’s’ as they captured their beaut pictures. We could seriously not be any happier with our photo’s, Amber & Isaac you were so accommodating and genuine, your passion and talent for your work shone through every minute you were with us and we were so glad to have you at our special day. The compliments we received about our photo’s have been unreal, someone even thought that they were not real!! real it was, and real they are. Beautiful pictures to treasure forever more. Thanks to the moon and back guys! Tracey & Luke Willing

Isaac and Amber really went above and beyond for us on our special day. Rather than having their specific ideas about the photos they wanted out of our wedding or a ‘set list’ they put us at ease right from the start and really listened to what our day was about, what it meant to us and what WE wanted, even setting up timelines to ensure they wouldn’t miss anything important. In turn our photos reflect perfectly the emotion and feeling of our day and we couldn’t be happier! These two are so much fun and nothing was a drama throughout the whole process. So easy to communicate with and they ensure you are happy the whole way through. We were on a tight budget, and splashed out for photography knowing it would be the only thing we had at the end, and if we could do it again - we would choose them! So many of our guests commented about the extremes they went to - hiding in bushes, laying on the ground, they just seemed to be everywhere at once capturing everything! We have had so many compliments, and guests from the wedding feel like they are going back there when they see the photos because the emotion is captured exactly how the day was. The other thing that we really liked is they show photos from EVERY wedding on their blog, not just selected photos that they have chosen carefully, and for us this made it really obvious that they were really good at what they do! And more importantly, they absolutely love what they do and this passion shines through in their work. You spend the whole day with your photographers so this is really essential! We are so over the moon, and now have a beautiful set of images to treasure forever, its so hard to put into words how much this has meant to us, we are encouraging everyone we know to head their way - you wont be disappointed!

After we saw Isaac and Ambers work from my cousins wedding we had to have them! my hubby hadn’t even purposed to me yet and i knew i wanted them for my big day lol. They are so professional and incredibly easy to deal with! Their work is amazing and they have become a huge hit in our family having done 3 weddings so far. All i can say is that you will not be disappointed and they are worth every penny! Thanks again Isaac & Amber X

I love my husband….but Amber and Isaac at Perspectives Photo + Cinema come a close second!!! Not only did Amber and Isaac managed to capture all the emotion and fun on our special day in Rarotonga but they did it in such an artistic and beautiful way. I can honestly say that they added to our wedding that it was a joy to have them there. They spent all day with us and the love for what they do shone through their work. A highlight of our wedding was the Trash The Dress session we did with them two days after the wedding. It actually became a special day for hubby and I to spend together laughing and talking and sharing it with Amber and Isaac was a real bonus. And the photos from it were AMAZING. They really understand that TTD photography is about capturing beautiful images in non-traditional settings, not just trashing a dress for the sake of it. The only downside is now I have so many beautiful photos that I have no idea which one to enlarge and hang up. They know how to use lighting in the most flattering way! You will never regret working with Perspectives and will enjoy your decision for the rest of your lives.

We would like to personally thank Amber and Isaac for the fantastic work they did photographing our wedding. They are lovely to deal with, professional, driven and clearly love what they do for a living. We felt comfortable with them both from the beginning and knew that they were determined to do the best they could for us. Our plans were all up in the air due to a huge storm that came through on our wedding day and changed all our carefully laid plans. Amber and Isaac kicked into gear and ensured that the new venue was well lit after the last minute change. The conditions on the day were hard with so much rain and mud but they handled it all with no problem. Thanks goodness they take lovely pictures in the rain! It was fantastic that Amber stayed at the wedding until late into the night as we got some great shots of the guests in party mode which are great to have as we have a complete picture of the day. We had a huge amount of images, and fell in love with so many of them! Thanks Amber and Isaac for coping so well with all the different pressures on the day! We love the photos and love that they paint such a lovely picture of our day.

Amber was fantastic on our wedding day, working with ease and expertise. We were delighted with the photos we received and we were very limited due to the weather on the day but that didn’t dampen our spirits and such was the skill of Amber that when we got the photos we were so grateful for the rain and Isaac came to the party, (pun intended) for the last few shots to help out and they were spectacular. Such was Ambers commitment to give us the best pictures she could after saying goodbye Amber reappeared a little later to capture the sensational shots in the rain. Thanks heaps Amber & Isaac! Cheers, Pete & Nikki Garwood.

I love it how they scout for the most perfect locations with their trained eye, as I wouldn’t have had the first clue. Definitely highly recommend them. THANKS GUYS

Initially we weren’t going to hire professional videographers for our wedding in order to stick to our budget. But when I stumbled onto Perspectives’ website and saw their work, there was no turning back! I wasn’t sure how I was going to convince my fiancé to dish out another few thousand of dollars, but after viewing their work, he couldn’t resist either. Most reviews here seem to be of their photography team, but I can assure you their videography team - Mat and Jared, is equally rad! Mat is pretty famous already for his very romantic proposal (go to the Perspectives website right now if you haven’t seen it!), so let’s talk about Jared instead. When we met up with Jared a week before the wedding to go over things, we were a bit stressed as we still had a lot to organise. But Jared has an amazing vibe and we left feeling excited about our wedding once again as we could feel that he was genuinely excited too. On the day I was quite nervous but when Jared’s big smile definitely had a calming effect from the moment he arrived (at as early as 7:30am despite we suggested 9am because he insisted the longer he’s around for, the more material he can capture). Mat and Jared definitely went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us buy pizza for lunch, transporting stuff, and many other little things that we didn’t anticipate beforehand. They are much fun to be around and we feel very lucky to have them on our wedding day. We haven’t seen our videos yet but we’re fully confident that we’re going to love their work. In the end, my husband reckons they’re definitely worth every penny! Choice.

We cannot recommend Isaac from Perspectives Photo + Cinema highly enough. His communication before, during and after our wedding was excellent. After much research, we chose to work with Isaac because we trusted him to capture our day naturally and to focus on raw, candid moments. He is calm, personable and professional - and has awesome fashion sense! We didn't want a photographer who would use lots of filters or drastically alter images so that they didn't accurately represent what it was actually like on the day, or someone who would spend lots of time directing us into poses. Isaac made us feel at ease and we were able to just be ourselves. We are completely in love with our photos and have already looked through them a million times to relive the best day of our lives. Numerous people have commented on Isaac's ability to capture a 'feeling'... the emotions and overall atmosphere of the day. Isaac went above and beyond in every way and we are so grateful for his positive energy and hard work. Thank you!

WOW. We cannot recommend Perspectives enough. Isaac captured our day beautifully, and we are still getting comments from friends about how awesome the photos are! The whole experience with Perspectives was fantastic - they really do go above and beyond. Truly epic storytellers. Isaac is a really cool guy, too, and totally put us at ease. Thanks so much!

WOW! Words really do escape me when having to review such a wonderful photography company. OUr wedding photos are everything we had dreamed of and more. Isaac was professional, easy going and made our day stress-free. The photos we received of our day and just wonderful and perfectly capture our day. I would highly recommend using Perspectives Photography and Cinema for your wedding. You will be amazed at what they can do!

I am so in love with the photos we got back from our special day. Perspectives captured both the intimate moments and the most amazing scenic photos. They allowed the day to flow naturally and were professional the whole day. Thank you so much!

WOW. We cannot recommend Perspectives enough. Isaac captured our day beautifully, and we are still getting comments from friends about how awesome the photos are! The whole experience with Perspectives was fantastic - they really do go above and beyond. Truly epic storytellers. Isaac is a really cool guy, too, and totally put us at ease. Thanks so much!

Isaac and Amber are out of this world amazing. Right from booking, to engagement photos to pre-wedding photos to the big day. They were excited, enthusiastic and committed to capturing the day perfectly. Perspectives absolutely delivered. No hesitation in recommending them to anyone and will use them again for family photos or whatever in the future.

This is the only time in my life I’m mad at google for allowing only 5 stars out of 5 because really it’s been a 20 star out of 5 star photography and cinematography. Tim and I are now part of the Perspectives fan club, Prez and Vice Prez, self nominated. Jared does the filming on the day and he does same day edits. Who in their right mind would do something so complex and execute it so perfectly? Well Jared Brandon does. At 9pm at night during our reception at Mudbrick he had our highlight reel of our wedding day ready to go and it was honestly just the best to recap our day again with all our loved ones. Where do I even begin with our wedding photos? When Isaac sent us the photos, me and Tim felt so much joy and happy emotions seeing the photos. I believe when a photograph moves you to smile or feel something, it is truly done outstandingly. I am by no means a photographer but the composition, contrast, the variation of the photos is superb. I can not fault these guys, if anything Isaacs large biceps had distracted some guests but that’s really it. Best believe I will hire these guys again if I get married a second a time. (Haha jokes) (but really) worth every dime!

Jared and Amber are the best investment for your wedding. Enough said. Every bride wants to look their best and Jared and Amber truly are the best people to make it happen. Not only do they produce exceptional results, they make the experience of going off and taking photos fun and relaxing (especially for someone like me who doesn't feel comfortable in front of a camera). I cannot rave about them enough and will forever recommend them. They are funny, warm, kind and absolute ninjas at the best of times. They are also the best communicators, when plans weren't going to plan, we knew we would have a photographer and videographer. Phenomenal photos and video and zero stress. Perspectives Photo & Cinema is the best decision you will make for your wedding.

Where to start- I don't know that we will be able to do justice to Isaac's incredible work but we will certainly try but we think the photos attached probably speak for themselves! Isaac was like a well oiled machine on the day- he seemed to just be everywhere all at once capturing all the special moments as they happened. We have hundreds of photos to remember our special day yet at the time it didn't feel like we were being constantly photographed and forcing smiles! It was very real & natural. The beautiful landscape of where we were married was captured sooo well & we are so thankful to have such a beautiful collection of photos to remember the day. Beyond the photos Isaac was such a pleasure to be around for the day, such a fun, positive & energetic person. We were also blown away by the beautiful gift we received in the mail which was completely unexpected. Please consider Perspectives for your special day! We promise you won't regret it!!!

It took one look at the Perspectives album (on display during our venue scouting) to make us fall in love with their work and decide there and then that this is how we want to remember our wedding. Amber and Jared were so attentive, professional, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Not only are they extremely good at what they do, they went above and beyond to make everything perfect like scouting out locations in the dark, lending me boots to spare my wedding shoes in muddy grass, and saving the day with a hair tie when my veil had a mind of its own! Along with Jay and Priscilla, they were like invisible photo video ninjas, capturing everything and everyone but so discreetly that many of the photos made me wonder how they managed to take them! Our photos are stunning, the videos make me cry with happiness, and our family and friends rave about how beautifully our photos and videos turned out. Let these guys capture your life milestones, you won’t regret it 🙌

“After we saw Perspectives work from my cousin’s wedding we had to have them! My hubby hadn’t even proposed to me yet and I knew I wanted them for my big day! They are so professional and incredibly easy to deal with! Their work is amazing and they have become a huge hit in our family having done 3 weddings so far. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed and they are worth every penny!”

EVERYONE NEEDS ISAAC AT THEIR WEDDING!! What an unreal experience we had with Perspectives from beginning to end. Isaac has a warmth and positivity that is contagious. He manages to perfectly be in the right place without you even knowing he's there, catches the most amazing moments and makes everyone look amazing. When you do notice Isaac is there, hes adds to the vibe - all of our family and friends (including us) wanted to become his bestie. We were blown away at the professionalism and how well Isaac and Amy listened to everything we wanted (and didn't want). We loved how quickly we got to see the blog photos after the wedding - and are obsessed with every single one of them. Thank you Isaac and Amy - you are amazing!

Perspectives is amazing! When I first met up with Isaac I warned him that we are both basically incredibly awkward in photos, and good luck to him. Well - we both love our photos and couldn't be more thrilled! They turned out beautifully and we had such a fun time shooting them! Most importantly - Isaac was totally happy to tailor the package to what we wanted, rather than tell us that we could only have them do it if we signed up to a certain package (which several places did!) I'm so thankful that he done our wedding, as in the end photos are the only thing you have on the other end! Looking at our photos makes me so happy!

Isaac and Amber were so professional and had such a good vibe on the day. Our bridal party raved about how awesome they were, especially for those that usually hate having their photo taken. On top of that the photos were amazing!! We still have people nearly a year on say that they are by far the best wedding photos they have ever seen. We love how they captured the essence of our day in their images - fun and family! http://www.instantphotos.co.nz/blog/landsendt-wedding-photos-murray-naketas-sneak-peek/ Quite frankly, they are that good that My husband and I are looking for another excuse to get more images taken, so we’ve asked them to join us at a family event in Rarotonga this year.

Isaac and Amber truly do amazing work. We found them to be easy to approach and talk to and have such amazing ideas for photos. Friends and family always love to look through our album and they too comment on how beautiful the photos are. They really did capture all those little moments and its nice to remember my day with such great photos. We have done 2 photo shoots with them now and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them in the future. They definitely have a uniqueness to their work.

Issac and Alex were awesome photographers and so was Jared and Jay as our videographers. They blended in so well with our wedding. We hardly noticed they were there and the photos turned out amazing. I love all the different shots they got. I can't wait for the video to come out. They are well worth the money. Photos are the one thing you take away from the day forever.

We choose Isaac & Amber for our wedding as we fell in love with their photography style by viewing amazing photo’s on their website from weddings etc that they had done. The website showed the amount of talent they have working with Photoshop and also the enjoyment that they get from their job. By reading their blog you understand how easy they are to get along with and their friendly personalities. This gave us the confidences in not needing to meet with their prior to the big day. We couldn’t recommended more highly as they really are; I think, one of a kind. As I’m sure most wedding days go the morning is a bit stressful especially if your dependent on weather like we were. If anything, they alleviated stress rather than creating it by making their beautiful-selves some how blend into the background while still doing their job superbly! We have had so many people not only on the day but a year later comment on their professionalism and style. We adore our wedding photo’s and the fond windy memories each time we drive past the location! HUGE thanks again - Dave & Lara (now + little Maddison Claire!)

Isaac and Amber of Perspectives Photography were absolutely great. Not only did they make the pre wedding photos, group photos and photo shoot fun and relaxing they were organized, professional, prepared and delivered amazing, unique photographs of our wedding. The little extra cost was worth it to get such stunning photos. I have already recommended them to other couples and and will continue to do so!

We are currently sitting debating how to find the words to tell you how we feel after watching our highlights video. But there aren’t words!!!! We have a hugest, face splitting grins on our faces and tears in our eyes!!! You took us on an emotion rollercoster – in 5 minutes! Smiles, tears and laughter!!! This is way beyond the amazing and perfect film we wanted and we are over the moon! You perfectly captured everything right from the early morning through to the crazy night! Even the music fits perfectly! Thank you so much!! Now we have to go and watch it again!

We feel we made the best choice with Isaac and Amber as our wedding photographers they were extremely professional and knew exactly what to do and how to make the most of the lighting and of us after a long day! We felt completely comfortable and at ease with them despite the fact we had only met them once prior to the wedding day, that really made the whole process much easier! I have no qualms about suggesting them for anyones wedding or portraits as they are amazing! Our wedding photo’s are spectacular and we have them forever! Thanks guys!! Louise and Blair

Isaac and Amber were more than we could have hoped for. Right from the first meeting, we could relax around them, they listened to our ideas and had suggestions to make them better. On the day you wouldn’t have known they were there at the ceremony, and yet the shots were amazing. They went above and beyond, and we even had a slideshow of shots to play at our reception from the days events. The end product was better than we thought possible, we are still going through all the shots because there’s none we don’t want! We shopped around a lot before finding Isaac and Amber, and they were fantastic value for money compared to others we saw and had quotes from. I would recommend Amber and Isaac to anyone getting married, you won’t be disappointed.

I couldn’t be more in love with my photos and my wedding album. I get so many comments from friends and family about how beautiful they are. Isaac and Amber are wonderful to work with. It’s great having a team of two photographers catching every moment of your special day. They’re lovely, friendly people who make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve done two photo shoots with them now, and we’ll probably go back and get our family portraits done with them too. Love your work!! Tamara, Daniel & now Coralee

They’re so great at making you feel at ease in front of the camera, they’re so patient and give great direction. You barely notice they’re there but they are and the photos are stunning! And to top it all the album that was part of our package.. it took our breath away! Thank you Isaac and Amber.. you guys truly made our day special and memorable! We’ll definitely be coming back to you guys for many more photoshoots!

Perspectives where great! All the way through the process they where very informative and we had no doubt as to what will happen on the day. They are very organized and professional! On the day itself we had a blast, they where relaxed and ensured that we enjoyed ourselves. They gave direction throughout the day but was very open to suggestions and fun ideas. Would recommend them any day!!! Thanks guys for a great day!

The photos Perspectives took at my wedding achieved more than an record of the layout or look of my wedding - they captured the emotion, the feel and the joy. The photos are more than I could dream of and have an amazing life to them. It’s not just me that loves them either! Our photos were in the Bride and Groom Magazine and we are soon to be in a wedding blog. Isaac and Amber are amazing to deal with and super friendly - Everything you could ever want in a wedding photographer :D

Amber and Isaac are amazing. I first saw their photos when a girl from school got married, and fell in love. Turns out that was their first professional wedding! When we got engaged I knew we had to have Perspectives capture our day. They didn’t fail to disappoint. After an awesome engagement shoot, they (along with their awesome assistant Holly) out did themselves on our day, and we have had nothing but amazing comments from our guests, friends, and other professional photographers. I can’t wait to see our album, and wouldn’t fail to recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much guys

Isaac and Amber are brilliant. They are lovely people who took special care with us. They met with us beforehand and got to know us and they tailored their service to what we needed. On the day they were brilliant. They fitted in perfectly with our celebration and they took the photos fast and it was fun. But most importantly a year later as we go through our photos today, they take beautiful photos. Technically superb, with a very fine artistic eye. That’s what attracted us in the first place - the quality of the shots on their website, which was much nicer than other wedding photographers. A lot of wedding photography is very tacky. Not perspectives. And finally their service is excellent. They are extremely professional and customer-focused at all times, and they delivered the photos very quickly. We were extremely impressed with Isaac and Amber they made our wedding even more special than it already was. We can’t recommend them more highly - personally, professionally and artistically. Thank you, Jon and Gemma

Perspectives Photography are fantastic and I always recommend them to anyone I can. (what happens just as often is I am asked who did our amazing photos!) They are super friendly, And love what they do you can see Photography is their passion and this shows in their photos. They are an absolute pleasure to have around on the wedding day they made us all feel comfortable and most of all beautiful!They are always professional and thoughtful and very organised I can honestly say with all the different vendors and companies I dealt with organising my wedding they were the best on every level. A few examples ...on our wedding day they lent me their jandals, got knee deep in mud and taught my aspiring photographer and sister in law a thing or two at the same time! I would highly recommend them to anyone it is easy to see their photos are amazing but it’s the little things that go into your big day that are important like what I have mentioned above, I think Photos are quite often one of the most important things to many couples so a lot of trust is put into a chosen photographer to deliver, You cannot go wrong with Perspectives they rock!!

Perspectives photography are amazing! We really wanted fantastic photos of our day as they are such an important record to keep and that is exactly what we got! Issac and Amber were so professional, flexible and creative. We had all the important typical wedding shots with our families as well as having lots of time for scenic shots. I would recommend them to everyone that wants unique wedding photos.

Issac and Amber of Perspectives Photography were absolutely awesome and were recommended to us by friends - and we have since been recommending them to others! Friendly, lovely and professional, they were simply a pleasure to deal with and made us feel like superstars on our special day. The photos are exceptional, we couldn’t be happier and we have had so much excellent feedback from others regarding them. A huge thanks to Isaac and Amber for capturing stunning images that we can cherish now and in years to come.

Isaac and Amber were so amazing. They are the nicest people to deal with. They are so professional and so nice. Before the wedding our Preist was quite nervous about having two photographers in quite a small church, but afterwards he was raving about how professional Isaac and Amber were. When we booked Perspectives we were confident that we were going to get amazing photos, on the day we were so relaxed because we knew that we could trust them to capture the important moments. We have had so many people tell us that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. I will be recommeding to anybody looking for an amazing wedding photographer. Thank you so much Isaac and Amber for your hard work, we couldn’t have asked for more. Wedding Date

Perspectives Photography were absolutely amazing! Issac and Amber really captured everything on our special day. They were so professional and friendly and made us feel really comfortable. We are so so happy with our photos! Perspectives Photography is by far the best photographers we have ever seen. Their prices are really competitive, and they offer unbeatable service. Our Havelock North wedding would not have been the same without these guys. Highly recommend you talk to Issac and Amber before you talk to any other photographers.

We couldn’t have had better photographers. I had followed Perspectives work for quite some time and knew that I wanted them to be our wedding photographers. From seeing their work and meeting with them a few weeks prior to our big day we felt 101% sure that our wedding photos would be amazing, and of course they were. The weather conditions on the day were not at all typical of the part of NZ where our wedding was, or for the time of year - we expected sun all round but instead got heavy rain. Isaac and Amber were incredible - nothing was too much effort and they were so much fun and yet professional at the same time. We all (bridal party) felt at ease with them. The outcome was more than we expected - we were blown away by our images. To deal with such professionals on one of the most important days in your life and end up with unique images that really show the story of your day is critical in my opinion. Isaac and Amber delivered this for us. Every cent we paid for our photography and gorgeous Queensberry album was worth it.

We LOVE our photos! Isaac and Amber are an amazing team who captured every moment of our day with grace, sophistication and style. They have an fantastic eye for composition and lighting whilst being able to capture the little moments of joy and emotion that happen throughout the day. They were great fun on the day and easy to work with and we knew without doubt that we would get an amazing product at the end of the day. They were able to put everybody at ease and give direction easily when required. We have had so many comments that our photos were the best that anybody has seen and I’ve recommmended them several times already!! We loved hanging with them, we love our photos to bits and had trouble just choosing one for the wall! I would thoroughly recommend Perspectives to everybody, they were professional, friendly and provided excellent service and a quality product. Our photos truly capture who we are, and each one is unique. Thank-you again for capturing our unforgettable day with unforgettable images that we will treasure forever. Jane & Lance

Amber & Isaac were a pleasure to work with right from the initial contact. Their professionalism really shone through, they were prepared for any type of weather, and no matter what it was doing, the photos always turned out amazing. They had away of finding the cutest little spots to photograph in, and just seemed to blend into the crowd while still getting the best view, making for really natural looking photos. They were so relaxed, not scared to get their hands dirty (or soaked in our case) and extremely easy to get along with. We were able to do an engagement shoot with them beforehand, something that i will never regret doing and would encourage others to do also. Thank you so much for being a huge part of our day!! Can’t wait for another opportunity to work with you again. :D

We decided that a beach in Rarotonga would be perfect location for our ideal wedding. We googled photographers in Rarotonga and found Perspectives Photo + Cinema. From that momment on, we were hooked - We never considered any other photographers. Isaac and Amber were awesome to communicate with and all their work looked amazing. When we finally met in Rarotonga just before the wedding, we felt relaxed and confident that we would get exactly what we wanted from the photo’s. They both made us feel at ease and we actually enjoyed having the photo’s taken. Isaac and Amber also included our son Hunter into the shooting, which was a lot of fun. We are thrilled with the photo’s and so many people have been impressed by the quality, even friends of friends letting us know how awesome they are. We would have no hesitation in recommending Perspectives Photo + Cinema to all of our friends and family. Thank you Isaac and Amber for giving us wonderful photo’s to remember our wedding day.

We chose Perspectives Photo + Cinema as I had seen their work & LOVED it! My Husband cannot believe how amazing the photos are and every single photo is just perfect. They were fanatics leading up to the wedding & fabulous on the day, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We have had so many friends/work colleagues tell us they are the most amazing wedding photos they have seen. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Thank you Amber & Isaac! You truly made our day magical.

Perspectives are THE MOST PERFECT photographers for ANY occasion! Amber and Isaac are SO FRIENDLY whilst at the same time extremely professional. You feel like you’re hanging out with old friends. Remember you need to be able to get on with your photographers as you will be spending the whole day with them. And then you get the images and you’re like “WOW!!!!!!” From the time we started planning the wedding they were always on hand providing advice (even for things not relating to photography) to help our day become perfect. They want it as much as you do!! Then you get a “sneak-peak” online that you can show your friends and family which provides a story of the day and everybody can’t stop saying to us how AMAZING their photos are! I would rate Perspectives higher but I can only give a 5.

Wow- where to begin. I spent several months looking through photographers portfolio’s and the minute I saw perspectives I knew that they were the best of the best. It took us a while to book as the cheaper photographers were a bit tempting, but I can confidently say now with no regrets that there is no compromise for good photographers, including price, these guys were worth every single penny! Right from our very first email with Isaac & Amber we were made to feel welcome & like they genuinely wanted to work with us. We felt Isaac & Amber put 100% percent into preparing for our wedding by spending some time the day before scoping out different photo opportunities depending on the weather. I will never forget their excitement in telling me about different locations they had found, it was so genuine and made me feel so special and excited amongst being slightly stressed setting up for the big day. On our day Amber & Isaac had such a natural approach to photographing that was not invasive, instead they felt like part of our bridal party adding to the excitement with all their ‘ohh’s’ and ‘ahh’s’ as they captured their beaut pictures. We could seriously not be any happier with our photo’s, Amber & Isaac you were so accommodating and genuine, your passion and talent for your work shone through every minute you were with us and we were so glad to have you at our special day. The compliments we received about our photo’s have been unreal, someone even thought that they were not real!! real it was, and real they are. Beautiful pictures to treasure forever more. Thanks to the moon and back guys! Tracey & Luke Willing

Isaac and Amber really went above and beyond for us on our special day. Rather than having their specific ideas about the photos they wanted out of our wedding or a ‘set list’ they put us at ease right from the start and really listened to what our day was about, what it meant to us and what WE wanted, even setting up timelines to ensure they wouldn’t miss anything important. In turn our photos reflect perfectly the emotion and feeling of our day and we couldn’t be happier! These two are so much fun and nothing was a drama throughout the whole process. So easy to communicate with and they ensure you are happy the whole way through. We were on a tight budget, and splashed out for photography knowing it would be the only thing we had at the end, and if we could do it again - we would choose them! So many of our guests commented about the extremes they went to - hiding in bushes, laying on the ground, they just seemed to be everywhere at once capturing everything! We have had so many compliments, and guests from the wedding feel like they are going back there when they see the photos because the emotion is captured exactly how the day was. The other thing that we really liked is they show photos from EVERY wedding on their blog, not just selected photos that they have chosen carefully, and for us this made it really obvious that they were really good at what they do! And more importantly, they absolutely love what they do and this passion shines through in their work. You spend the whole day with your photographers so this is really essential! We are so over the moon, and now have a beautiful set of images to treasure forever, its so hard to put into words how much this has meant to us, we are encouraging everyone we know to head their way - you wont be disappointed!

All i can say is that you will not be disappointed and they are worth every penny! Thanks again Isaac & Amber X

I love my husband….but Amber and Isaac at Perspectives Photo + Cinema come a close second!!! Not only did Amber and Isaac managed to capture all the emotion and fun on our special day in Rarotonga but they did it in such an artistic and beautiful way. I can honestly say that they added to our wedding that it was a joy to have them there. They spent all day with us and the love for what they do shone through their work. A highlight of our wedding was the Trash The Dress session we did with them two days after the wedding. It actually became a special day for hubby and I to spend together laughing and talking and sharing it with Amber and Isaac was a real bonus. And the photos from it were AMAZING. They really understand that TTD photography is about capturing beautiful images in non-traditional settings, not just trashing a dress for the sake of it. The only downside is now I have so many beautiful photos that I have no idea which one to enlarge and hang up. They know how to use lighting in the most flattering way! You will never regret working with Perspectives and will enjoy your decision for the rest of your lives.

We would like to personally thank Amber and Isaac for the fantastic work they did photographing our wedding. They are lovely to deal with, professional, driven and clearly love what they do for a living. We felt comfortable with them both from the beginning and knew that they were determined to do the best they could for us. Our plans were all up in the air due to a huge storm that came through on our wedding day and changed all our carefully laid plans. Amber and Isaac kicked into gear and ensured that the new venue was well lit after the last minute change. The conditions on the day were hard with so much rain and mud but they handled it all with no problem. Thanks goodness they take lovely pictures in the rain! It was fantastic that Amber stayed at the wedding until late into the night as we got some great shots of the guests in party mode which are great to have as we have a complete picture of the day. We had a huge amount of images, and fell in love with so many of them! Thanks Amber and Isaac for coping so well with all the different pressures on the day! We love the photos and love that they paint such a lovely picture of our day.

Amber was fantastic on our wedding day, working with ease and expertise. We were delighted with the photos we received and we were very limited due to the weather on the day but that didn’t dampen our spirits and such was the skill of Amber that when we got the photos we were so grateful for the rain and Isaac came to the party, (pun intended) for the last few shots to help out and they were spectacular. Such was Ambers commitment to give us the best pictures she could after saying goodbye Amber reappeared a little later to capture the sensational shots in the rain. Thanks heaps Amber & Isaac! Cheers, Pete & Nikki Garwood.

Initially we weren’t going to hire professional videographers for our wedding in order to stick to our budget. But when I stumbled onto Perspectives’ website and saw their work, there was no turning back! I wasn’t sure how I was going to convince my fiancé to dish out another few thousand of dollars, but after viewing their work, he couldn’t resist either. Most reviews here seem to be of their photography team, but I can assure you their videography team - Mat and Jared, is equally rad! Mat is pretty famous already for his very romantic proposal (go to the Perspectives website right now if you haven’t seen it!), so let’s talk about Jared instead. When we met up with Jared a week before the wedding to go over things, we were a bit stressed as we still had a lot to organise. But Jared has an amazing vibe and we left feeling excited about our wedding once again as we could feel that he was genuinely excited too. On the day I was quite nervous but when Jared’s big smile definitely had a calming effect from the moment he arrived (at as early as 7:30am despite we suggested 9am because he insisted the longer he’s around for, the more material he can capture). Mat and Jared definitely went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us buy pizza for lunch, transporting stuff, and many other little things that we didn’t anticipate beforehand. They are much fun to be around and we feel very lucky to have them on our wedding day. We haven’t seen our videos yet but we’re fully confident that we’re going to love their work. In the end, my husband reckons they’re definitely worth every penny! Choice.

We cannot recommend Isaac from Perspectives Photo + Cinema highly enough. His communication before, during and after our wedding was excellent. After much research, we chose to work with Isaac because we trusted him to capture our day naturally and to focus on raw, candid moments. He is calm, personable and professional - and has awesome fashion sense! We didn't want a photographer who would use lots of filters or drastically alter images so that they didn't accurately represent what it was actually like on the day, or someone who would spend lots of time directing us into poses. Isaac made us feel at ease and we were able to just be ourselves. We are completely in love with our photos and have already looked through them a million times to relive the best day of our lives. Numerous people have commented on Isaac's ability to capture a 'feeling'... the emotions and overall atmosphere of the day. Isaac went above and beyond in every way and we are so grateful for his positive energy and hard work. Thank you!

Isaac and Amber are out of this world amazing. Right from booking, to engagement photos to pre-wedding photos to the big day. They were excited, enthusiastic and committed to capturing the day perfectly. Perspectives absolutely delivered. No hesitation in recommending them to anyone and will use them again for family photos or whatever in the future.
