Why are you a photographer?
To us, our wedding photography and wedding videography work is about finding beauty in ordinary little moments and crafting stories that reflect the personalities of our couples and their wedding day.
Describe your dream couple.
Our style suits people who appreciate a good laugh and don’t take themselves too seriously.
When you aren’t shooting a wedding, what’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
We love simple things, such as camping in our van (preferably somewhere without reception), good food, wine, great movies and documentaries, and a minimalistic lifestyle in general.
I love to travel to...
Although we are based in Auckland, we cover weddings across New Zealand and overseas and are more than happy to work out a travel deal for you.
What do you specialise in?
We put a lot of emphasis on beautiful framing and skilful timing, that captures these moments artistically and interestingly. Our aim is not just to tell your story but do it with creativity and elegance.

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 :)

We are so happy with the photos we have received from Valo! They are so amazing to work with! We felt completely at ease and they captured so many beautiful shots! Our guests also raved about them and we have received so many compliments on our sneak peak photos! Laura and Rohan work amazingly together and it was so fun having them there on our special day! Thank you guys so much I can’t stop looking at our photos (so much so my phone screen time has gone up) and can’t wait to see the remaining photos and film! :) we couldn’t recommend them enough!

We chose Valo to film for our civil ceremony at castaways and are so so soooooo happy with our wedding film! It’s absolutely beautiful and emotional! Everytime we watch it it brings out all sorts of happy memories from the day! Rohan has a great eye for creative visuals and captured everything so beautifully. Even the music for the film is absolutely perfect! Me and my partner are sooooo obsessed with our film and cant wait to share with family and friends!

Laura and Rohan were amazing as our photographer and videographer. They made the process so relaxed, yet they were very prepared and so the day ran smoothly. We couldn't recommend them more!

Laura and Rohan were amazing to work with! They really captured our day and excitement too. Not only are they super easy to talk to, they are super easy to listen to. Their charisma, style and creativity really gave us the confidence that we had the best people for the job. They're a hardworking team who put enormous amounts of effort into their mahi and are definitely worth the investment. Thank you Laura and Rohan for giving us your best, as service-providers and valued guests.

Laura photographed our wedding out in the middle of no where. She was so easy to work with from start to finish and gave us many helpful tips for optimal photos. She was great during the portrait photos, by guiding us thoughtfully and making the process feel natural. I loved her candid shots of the day and the artistic shots of the venue. When looking for photographers the Valo portfolio had me looking forward to how they would be for our wedding, but they really exceeded my expectations. Some of my favourite photos of the day were things that I would have never have thought to take photos of but, with a great photographer I now have some very special photos of our very special day. Definitely would recommend to everyone!

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.

It was a last minute decision to have our wedding documented with a video and we are so glad we did! I was struggling to find a company that was affordable yet offered a high quality unique video, our final video captures our special day perfectly. Valo went above and beyond for us, they came to the wedding venue the day before to capture behind the scenes footage too which was a nice touch. highly recommend

Valo recently did the video for our wedding the only regret I had from the day was not knowing about them sooner and getting them to do all of the photos as well. They are amazing. They are super friendly and just blend in as guests. So many of my guests commented on how nice they were and thought they were friends of ours. The other photographer we had hired had to leave early and Valo were so awesome and flexible and stepped in and did the last of the photos for us without even a second thought. I would one hundred percent recommend them for both video and photos 😊

Rohan and Laura are the dream team. They filmed, edited and delivered the most incredible wedding video that captured 'us' so perfectly. Their communication is impeccable, they are friendly, enthusiastic and easy going. I was slightly anxious that having two videographers plus a photographer would feel a bit like paparazzi, but they were so discreet I hardly remember them being there. Nothing was a problem, including when I asked for a couple of small edits (personal preference) to be made. The video was delivered on time which was an incredibly quick turnaround and the end result speaks for itself. Thank you Rohan and Laura, you have given us memories to last a lifetime!

I highly recomend Valo and Photo Cinema. They did such an incredible job of our short wedding film. The amount of effort they put into it really showed they had a passion for filming. I was really impressed with how comfortable they made us feel and how professional they were. They let us get creative with them and it was a great experience for sure. Worth the price and time! 10/10 Thank you Valo Photo & Cinema for capturing our day.

100% would (and already have) recommended Valo. We eloped a few weeks ago and had Rohan and Laura shoot our wedding and I can’t rate them highly enough. From the moment I saw their website, I knew we needed them as part of our day. They’re professional, fun, easy to talk to, passionate and amazing at what they do. We felt like we were just hanging out with friends, so all of our photos and the video look natural, which is just what we were after! They even indulged us with some Halloween footage as we were married on 31st October. They didn’t seem to think it was weird, they just ran with it. Couldn’t ask for better!!

We used Valo Photo and Cinema for our wedding. We found Laura and Rohan to be hard working, personable and professional during the day. We really enjoyed having them around. We received a sneak peek the next day and knew that we had made a great decision hiring them. There was a lot of communication and the end results were perfect. We are in love with our video and photos. The video has the best content, background music and voice over and just purely set out perfectly. The photos are plentiful, very professional and well done. Can't recommend these two more!

For those of you who were not able to be with us on our wedding day, the team at Valo Photo & Cinema have put together this amazing video that captures the highlights of the day. I think when we are old and grey watching this video will still make me laugh, cry and smile all over again! Thank you Rohan and Laura for the beautiful memories!

Biggest shout out to Valo Photo & Cinema for the INCREDIBLE video and photos. Rohan and Laura were incredible to deal with from the beginning. On the day, they were present and caught special moments that we weren't aware they were filming! They also were part of the furniture in the room rather than being in your face.
