Valo Photo & Cinema is a wedding photography and videography business based at 32 Northumberland Avenue in Belmont, Auckland. Its work is built on documentary photojournalism, with a hands-off approach that follows the natural flow of the day rather than posed portraits. The website says the team uses minimal equipment, works quietly, and shapes each film around the story of the day. Photography and film are offered together, so a couple deals with one team rather than two sets of vendors. The business covers weddings across New Zealand and overseas, and the website says it can work out a travel deal for distant weddings.
The portfolio names venues including Black Rock Tutukaka, The Hollywood Auckland, Hillbrook Estate, Whangamata and Mudbrick on Waiheke Island. The business is run by a couple based in Auckland, and the website says they focus on real, genuine moments that people often do not notice being captured. Clients who want a relaxed, unscripted record of the day, rather than formal posed pictures, will find that this is the style the business is known for.
